Township FAQ

About this T17 R8 W4M report

What's the source of well data for T17 R8 W4M?
Active and suspended well counts come from AER ST37, refreshed monthly. Orphan well sites come from the Orphan Well Association inventory. Pipelines come from AER ST76. BA snapshot data is per-licensee. Every page is rebuilt on the 1st of each month after AER data drops.
How often is this page updated?
This page was last refreshed 2026-10-30. Township Canada rebuilds all township pages monthly after AER ST37, ST76, and OWA data drops, typically the first week of the month.
Can I export a PDF report for this township?
Yes — clicking any section in the section grid opens the in-app search at /app/search where you can pull any LSD inside that section and export a per-parcel PDF (combined Energy + Agriculture). Pro and Business users get one free parcel report.
What's the difference between active, suspended, and orphan wells?
Active means the well is producing or capable of producing. Suspended means production has stopped but the well is intact and could resume. Abandoned means the wellbore has been plugged and decommissioned. Orphan means responsibility for the well has been transferred to the OWA — the original operator is gone, often signalling cleanup liability for surface-rights holders. See the full Energy Bundle →
