Crown PNG Tenure: Alberta Petroleum and Natural Gas Agreements

Alberta's Crown petroleum and natural gas tenure - leases, licences, and pore-space agreements - with holder, status, and days-to-expiry, on the map and parcel report.

What it is

Alberta's Crown petroleum and natural gas (PNG) tenure is the set of agreements that grant the right to explore for and produce oil and gas from Crown land: leases, licences, and pore-space agreements. The province publishes them through the Alberta Energy Agreements (AMI) service. Township Canada ingests the polygons and refreshes them weekly.

What it carries

Each agreement carries its disposition number and type, holder name, status, and expiry date, from which we compute days-to-expiry and an expiring-soon flag (inside a 24-month window). Perpetual agreements are tagged so they are not mistaken for imminent renewals. We also compute what share of each Legal Subdivision a disposition covers.

Coverage and refresh

We carry more than 63,000 PNG agreements across Alberta, refreshed weekly. Saskatchewan and British Columbia Crown petroleum tenure are not yet ingested.

How Township Canada shows it

PNG tenure powers the Petroleum Tenure map layer (Energy Bundle), which can be coloured by days-to-expiry through the tenure preset, and the tenure card on the Energy tab of the parcel report. The expiring-tenure watchlist surfaces agreements approaching renewal.
