TITLES DIVISION

SUBJECT:     Pre-tenure Referral Maps on Ministry Website

The Titles Division conducts an oil and gas pre-tenure review process, prior to issuing tenures for oil and gas rights by public tender.  Proposed tenures are referred to other government ministries, local governments, First Nations and environmental organizations for comments.  This review provides for early identification of access constraints and potential land use conflicts.

Comments received may be included as caveats in the Notice of Public Tender and later form part of the tenure document if a tenure is issued.

It should be noted that some parcels shown on the maps may not be included in a specific sale, due to deferral or withdrawal.
