The BC Energy Regulator (BCER) is the single windowregulatory agency with responsibilities for regulating oil and gas activitiesin British Columbia. Surface Land Use is a mechanism to measure surfacedisturbances caused by oil and gas activity and identify the type and land areaattributed to historical and current oil and gas activities.
Northeast British Columbia is the location of the majority of oil and gasactivity in BC. In this area the BCER has created a dataset that represents existingoil and gas disturbance and assigns the area to 1 of 5 oil and gas activitygroups, Well/Facility, Roads, Pipelines, Associated and Ancillary (OtherRelated) Activities and Geophysical (Seismic).
Spatial data for activities submitted prior to July 2016,have been collected and processed to create a static SLU base datasets. The BRFN SLU Data Layer (BRFN_SURFACE_LAND_USE_PY) isupdated separately from the Annual SLU dataset in coordination with theBlueberry River First Nation.
As per the Blueberry River First Nations ImplementationAgreement “New Disturbance” means, subject to any and all limitations andexclusions provided for in this definition, all (and only) Oil and GasActivity-related disturbance on Crown land outside of any permitted andexisting PNG footprint as identified in the Surface Land Use (SLU) Data Layer,including restored wells with a certificate of restoration but excluding: (i)restoration activities; (ii) health and safety activities; (iii) environmentalprotection activities; (iv) electricity transmission and distribution linerights-of-way outside of Area 1 or inside Area 1 with the consent of BRFN; (v)new operational activities within existing oil and gas related disturbances orother permanent road structures (including, without limitation, new wells onexisting pads and pipelines within established rights of way); and (vi)conversion of non-status roads to oil and gas roads, so long as such conversiondoes not include any new construction or road modification. Full guidance canbe found here.
