Surface rights · Pilot

What is already on the quarter, before the land agent knocks.

Wells, pipelines, facilities, Crown tenure, and the agricultural productivity of the land on one quarter section or LSD, with an indicative pipeline right-of-way footprint. Each section names its public source and data date.

The job it removes

Less portal work before the real work.

Preparing for a surface lease, right-of-way, or renewal means checking what is on the parcel: existing wells and lines, facilities, who operates them, the Crown tenure underneath, and the quality of the farmland affected. The pack collects that from the published record, so you start the conversation with the facts in one place.

Who it is for

Land agents

Walk into a landowner conversation knowing what infrastructure and land capability are already on the parcel.

Surface-rights and land teams

Parcel research for new wells, lines, and renewals, in a consistent format across the team.

Acquisition and divestiture

A per-parcel view of wells, pipelines, and tenure, with one pack for each parcel in a package of lands.

What's in the pack

Infrastructure, tenure, and land on the parcel.

One parcel per pack. Send several legal land descriptions and we run a pack for each.

Wells
AB · SK · MB
Wells on the parcel with licence status, licensee, and abandoned, suspended, and orphan flags. Orphan flags come from the AER well list and the Orphan Well Association inventory in Alberta, and the orphan sites list in Saskatchewan.
Pipelines
AB · SK
Pipeline segments on the parcel: licence and line, licensee, status, substance, diameter where published, and metres on the parcel.
Indicative right-of-way footprint
Assumed width
Pipeline metres on the parcel times an assumed right-of-way width (15 m unless you give us one), in acres and as a share of the parcel. A scoping number, not the registered plan.
Facilities
AB · SK
Facilities on the parcel, with category, status, and licensee.
Crown tenure
PNG · mineral
Crown petroleum and natural gas and mineral dispositions intersecting the parcel, with holder, status, expiry, and the share of the LSD they cover. Freehold mineral title is not included.
Productivity of the affected land
Productivity Score · LSRS · CLI
Productivity Score, capability class where mapped, soil group, land use, and crop sequence for the quarter. Alberta scores use the LSRS soil rating; Saskatchewan and Manitoba scores use a national soil fallback.
Licensees and activity
AER · Saskatchewan
How many licensees hold infrastructure on the parcel, and the last recorded activity date for its LSDs.
Source and data date
Every section
Each section names its dataset and publisher, with the licence, refresh cadence, and an as-of date where the data load records one, so you can cite it or check it.
Real sample

Land and Surface Rights Intelligence Pack

SW-36-32-21-W4 (160.5 ac, Starland County) carries 6 pipeline segments totalling 2,584 m, 1 well, and 3 facilities; at an assumed 15 m right-of-way the pipeline footprint is about 9.6 acres.

What it is not

Evidence for a professional, not the professional's work.

The Land and Surface Rights Intelligence Pack assembles what the public record shows. The judgment, the site work, and the signature stay with you.

  • Not a legal survey, title search, or surface lease review.
  • No compensation figures and no landowner names.
  • Not legal advice. The lease, the title, and the negotiation are still your file.
  • No water, road, or railway context in this pack.
  • Manitoba has wells and tenure, but no pipeline or facility layers in the product.
Pilot

Request a sample pack for your parcels.

We run the pack for your parcels and send you the files. No account or checkout needed for the pilot.

  1. 1. Send your parcels

    Legal land descriptions (DLS quarter sections or LSDs in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba), or a corridor as a GeoJSON line. A handful is enough for a first pack.

  2. 2. We run the pack

    We build the pack from the same data behind the Township Canada parcel report, with the source and data date on every section.

  3. 3. You get the files

    JSON, CSV, and GeoJSON for your own tools, plus a printable report you can put in the file.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you run a proposed route?
Not as a surface rights pack, which covers one parcel. A route runs as a corridor pack (see Utilities and ROW): send the line as GeoJSON and it returns land use, productivity, wells, and pipeline and water crossings for each quarter section along it. The corridor pack does not include the tenure table.
Does it include the surface lease or title?
No. The pack covers the public record of infrastructure, tenure, and land characteristics. Leases, title, and compensation are not part of it.
How is this different from the Energy Bundle?
The Energy Bundle puts the same energy data on every parcel report in the app. The pack combines energy, tenure, agriculture, and an indicative right-of-way footprint for a parcel and delivers it as files you can put in the land file.
How is the pack delivered?
During the pilot we run the pack for your parcels and send you the files: JSON, CSV, and GeoJSON for your own tools, plus a printable report. There is no self-serve upload yet.
How current is the data?
Alberta regulator well, pipeline, and facility data refresh monthly, and Saskatchewan loads run weekly to monthly. The Canadian Drought Monitor refreshes monthly and the AAFC crop inventory is annual. Every section names its source and refresh cadence, with an as-of date where the data load records one, so you can see which vintage you are looking at.
What does it cost?
The pilot pack has no published price yet. Tell us what you would use it for and we will talk about it. The parcel report bundles and APIs that power it are priced on the pricing page.
