Petroleum Land Use
The Ministry of Energy and Mines supports responsible stewardship of the province's energy resources in land use planning and management initiatives by:
- ensuring that opportunities for environmentally responsible oil and gas/geothermal exploration and development are recognized by provincial planning agencies;
|
- providing resource potential and management information for First Nations treaty negotiations.
|
This responsibility is carried out by the Titles Division staff in Victoria, and is achieved through the Oil and Gas Tenure Review process and by providing resource and management information to the Aboriginal Relations Branch.
Operational land use planning is carried out by the Oil and Gas Commission.
