Energy and resource development in Alberta encompasses a diverse range of activities and understanding these activities—such as coal mining, oil sands development, natural gas production, and geothermal energy—helps frame our regulatory role throughout the life cycle of industry led projects. We regulate every stage of resource development—from exploration and production to decommissioning to reclamation. We are responsible for ensuring energy producers adhere to our regulatory requirements. Our oversight promotes the safe, efficient, and orderly development of Alberta’s energy and mineral resources, while upholding the safety of the public and the environment.
