AER ST37: the List of Wells in Alberta
ST37 is the Alberta Energy Regulator's authoritative List of Wells. Township Canada carries every well with its lifecycle status, on the map and on every parcel report.
What ST37 is
ST37 is the Alberta Energy Regulator's List of Wells in Alberta - the regulator's complete register of every well that has ever been licensed in the province. It is the single source of truth for what exists, where it is, and what state it is in. Township Canada ingests ST37 in full and refreshes it monthly.
What it carries
Each well record carries its unique well identifier (UWI), well name, licence number and current licence status, the operator and licensee business associate (BA) codes, the fluid and mode, the well type, total depth, and surface coordinates. The lifecycle status is the field most people come for: active, suspended, abandoned, reclaimed, plus the orphan flag where the Orphan Well Association has taken over closure.
Coverage and refresh
We carry more than 530,000 wells across Alberta, every one tagged with a lifecycle status. The dataset refreshes monthly from the AER's open-data release.

How Township Canada shows it
ST37 powers the AER Wells map layer (part of the Energy Bundle) and the well list on the Energy tab of the parcel report, which shows every well whose surface point falls inside the Legal Subdivision. From any well you can jump to its operator's full footprint.
