Activity Levels

Short Term Use of Water (Proposed) [BCOGC-44398]

Point locations indicating proposed applications for short term water use for oil and gas development. This dataset contains spatial data for proposed applications collected through the BC Energy Regulator's Application Management System (AMS).

Applications

Changes In and About a Stream (Permitted) [BCOGC-44411]

Point locations for approved activities for changes in and around a stream. Common changes in and about a stream activities include the construction, maintenance and removal of watercourse crossings and crossing structures. Other types of works that comprise changes in and about a stream include stream diversion, stream bank erosion protection and/or stabilization, debris removal, beaver dam management, etc. This dataset contains spatial data collected on or after October 30, 2006.

Applications

Short Term Use of Water (Permitted) [BCOGC-44424]

Point locations indicating approved activities for short-term water use for oil and gas development. Approved short-term water use approvals receive an authorization under Section 10 of the Water Sustainability Act. This dataset contains spatial data collected on or after October 30, 2006.

Water

Water Management Basins [BCOGC-44435]

Water management basins define locations of water withdrawal when applying for a basin Section 8 application. If it is not possible for a company to pre-define all locations of water withdrawal, companies are then able to apply for a basin Section 8 approval. A basin Section 8 approval allows for withdrawals of up to 45 m3/day, to a maximum of 5,000 m3/year, specified to a drainage basin or basins. Basin Section 8 approvals are limited to small water uses where it is not possible to pre-define withdrawal points, including geophysical exploration, winter ice road construction, dust suppression, hydrostatic testing of pipelines, and other uses, provided the volume use restrictions can be met.

Water

Water Allocation & Use [BCOGC-129247]

Water is an essential component in many energy resource operations, used for purposes such as hydraulic fracturing, drilling wells, and dust control. This data narrative covers the annual allocation and actual use of water authorized by the Regulator for energy resource activities across the province.
