Introducing the Energy Bundle - AER Wells with Lifecycle, Pipelines, and Facilities on the DLS Grid
A new add-on (stacks on Pro or Business) that covers wells, Crown PNG, and mineral tenure across AB, SK, BC, and MB - plus pipelines, facilities, and 12-month production across AB, SK, and BC.
Update (2026): Crown mineral tenure (metallic, coal, ammonite) now ships as a dedicated map layer and in the parcel report alongside PNG dispositions.
A pipeline integrity analyst in Calgary opens five tools to plan a single inspection campaign: the AER GeoView portal for licensed pipeline segments, the AER ST37 directives portal for the wells the line connects, the Orphan Well Association inventory for closure-funded sites, the Petrinex facility lookup for batteries and gas plants, and an internal GIS to overlay treaty geography. Each tool returns part of the picture; the operator stitches the rest manually.
Township Canada's new Energy Bundle puts all of that on one map, layered against the DLS grid that every legal land description already references.
What's in the bundle
The Energy Bundle is an add-on (stacks on Pro or Business, see pricing) that unlocks multi-province energy intelligence on top of the standard Township Canada feature set. Wells, Crown PNG, and mineral tenure cover AB, SK, BC, and MB. Pipelines, facilities, and 12-month production cover AB, SK, and BC (MB has no Petrinex production data).
- AER Wells with full lifecycle - Active, Suspended, Abandoned, Reclaimed, plus the orphan flag (where the Orphan Well Association is funding closure rather than the original licensee).
- AER Pipelines - every licensed pipeline segment, rendered as a line layer with mid-point labels. Tile coalescing handles the southern-Alberta density.
- AER Facilities (ST102) - collapsed from 40+ Petrinex sub-codes into eight customer-facing buckets: battery, gas plant, compressor, disposal, custom treating, terminal, water source, other.
- Operator BA snapshot - per-operator counts (active / abandoned / orphan / reclamation-certified), surfaced on the operator view of every parcel report. Programmatic access is available via the operator API endpoints.
- Crown tenure (PNG + mineral) - petroleum and natural gas dispositions plus metallic, coal, and ammonite mineral agreements on the DLS grid, with expiry alerts and map presets.
The CCS / pore space layers that shipped earlier - pore space rights, project boundaries, injection wells, geothermal tenure - are free at all tiers and do not require the Energy Bundle.
Treaty Boundaries (Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10) render as polygons at low zoom and surface as a flag on every parcel report. That flag is free at every tier, not gated behind the bundle - see why we shipped Treaty Boundaries the way we did.
Why bundle these together
The layers are tied at the data level. A reactivated well needs a tie-in pipeline, which needs a destination facility. An operator evaluating an acquisition target needs the per-BA rollup across all of them. A pipeline integrity team prioritizing inspection needs the lines geometry, the connected wells, and the surrounding facilities in a single view. Splitting the layers across separate products would force operators back into the cross-portal workflow the bundle exists to replace.
Pricing math
The Energy Bundle stacks on your existing Pro or Business plan (see pricing). For comparison: standalone AER tools that come closest to this scope (geoSCOUT, OilTrails, Petrinex enterprise APIs) sit at five-figure annual contracts. Township Canada's pricing reflects what an individual analyst or a small team can justify on a corporate card.
Who this is for
- Oil and gas operators planning new wells, reactivations, or tie-ins. See Township Canada for Oil and Gas.
- CCS and geothermal developers scoping pore space tenure submissions. See Township Canada for CCS Developers.
- Pipeline integrity, closure obligation, and surface-rights teams who need lifecycle status across the AER inventory.
- M&A diligence teams evaluating operator portfolios via the BA snapshot.
How to subscribe
The "Add Energy Bundle" card appears on /app/account (and on /pricing) for any Pro or Business customer. One click opens Stripe Checkout for the add-on, and the new layers unlock right away - no re-login.
What's still roadmapped
- Indigenous consultation overlay (beyond treaty boundaries) - reserve lands and provincial consultation databases, to complement the treaty flag.
