Release of the Pilot or Field Trial Report 

Release Date

Today, we published our first report on pilot projects or field trials, which is available on the pilot reporting webpage. The report supports the recently released Manual 031: Guidelines for Pilot Applications for New Technology or Processes.

The energy and minerals industries are continually innovating and seeking technological advancements to support resource recovery, environmental protection, and public safety. Pilots or field trials are critical in fostering innovation within Alberta’s energy and minerals industry, enabling the evaluation of novel approaches that may not be expressly contemplated within the existing regulatory framework. For more information, see our pilots and innovation webpage.

The report includes pilot or field trial requests received by the AER beginning in 2024. We will update the report monthly.

The report provides the following information:

  • request date
  • company name
  • sector
  • decision date
  • decision status
  • location
  • duration
  • description
