Petrinex Well Status: Cross-Province Well Records

Petrinex well status, fluid, and operator for Alberta and Saskatchewan - the layer that keeps a survey consistent when it crosses the provincial border.

What it is

The AER's ST37 is the authority for Alberta wells, but a project that spans the Alberta-Saskatchewan border needs a consistent well view on both sides. Petrinex reports well status, fluid, and operator for both provinces, and Township Canada uses it to keep a cross-border survey coherent rather than stopping at the provincial line.

What it carries

Petrinex well records carry the well status, the fluid produced, and the operator, keyed to the well's location. Combined with Alberta's ST37 detail, this gives a continuous well picture across the two provinces that share the Dominion Land Survey grid.

Coverage and refresh

The AER's ST37 holds more than 530,000 Alberta wells, and Petrinex extends well-status coverage across the Alberta and Saskatchewan border, so a survey that spans the line stays continuous rather than stopping at the provincial boundary. Refreshed monthly from Petrinex.

How Township Canada shows it

Petrinex well status feeds the O&G Activity (LSD) map layer and the cross-province well counts on the parcel report. For a land team working a border township, it means the Saskatchewan side of the map is not a blank.
