Working to improve liability management
Learn about how the AER is improving liability management in Alberta.
Methane Reduction in Alberta
We’re collaborating with the Government of Alberta to reduce methane emissions from Alberta’s upstream oil and gas industry by 45 per cent by 2025.
Putting a Microscope on Industry Water Use
Our Water Performance Report shows how water is allocated and used by companies in Alberta to recover oil, gas, and oil sands resources.
Integrated Decision Approach
We’re changing the way we regulate—our processes, the way we make decisions, and the way we communicate with our stakeholders.

Public Notice of Applications
Using the Public Notice of Application tool, interested parties can access and search specific areas of the province for applications filed with the regulator in the last 30 days.

It’s a reality in the oilpatch: incidents happen. The AER has rules and regulations that industry must follow to guard against such incidents, but sometimes that isn’t enough. Depending on the situation, AER response staff may be required to travel to the incident site. #abenergy

The AER launched a new methane performance portal to improve how methane emissions information is reported publicly. Learn more about how the AER is supporting oil and gas companies in their efforts to reduce emissions.

Water use performance is best measured by water-use intensity, a ratio that shows the amount of nonsaline water in barrels used to produce a barrel of oil equivalent. The lower the intensity, the better the performance.
