Oil and Gas Fields: Named Field and Pool Polygons

Named oil and gas field and pool boundaries for Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Manitoba - useful context for acquisition targeting and reporting.

What it is

Beyond individual wells, regulators define named fields and pools - the geological accumulations that wells produce from. Township Canada carries field and pool boundary polygons for Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Manitoba, so you can see not just where the wells are but which named pool they belong to.

What it carries

Field and pool records carry the field or pool name and boundary geometry, with pool counts where the regulator reports them. They give you the named context that a well-by-well view lacks - useful for acquisition targeting, reserves discussion, and reporting that references a field by name.

Coverage and refresh

Coverage spans all four western provinces: Alberta (oil and gas fields), Saskatchewan (oil and gas pools), British Columbia (oil and gas fields), and Manitoba (oil and gas pools), drawn from each regulator's published boundaries.

How Township Canada shows it

Field and pool polygons render on the map as a context layer beneath the well, pipeline, and tenure layers, so an acquisition screen can be framed by named field rather than by raw point density.
