Oil Sands Royalty Guidelines
The Principles, Procedures and Appendices (collectively referred to as the Guidelines) outline the relevant royalty legislation (statutes and regulations) and communicate policy with respect to application of the legislation. Application of the Oil Sands Royalty Regulation, 1997 and 2009, in specific situations may vary and implementation and practice of the regulation may change without amending the Guidelines.
Important Update regarding Royalty Guidelines: Alberta Energy has made some noteworthy changes to the Oil Sands royalty program and implemented the new Oil Sands Royalty Regulation, 2009. The 2009 Royalty Guidelines have not yet been updated to reflect these changes and we therefore encourage Oil Sands Operators to refer to the relevant legislation (statutes and regulations) as outlined in
IL-2008-32. Many of the policies, practices and reporting remain the same as in the 1997 Royalty Guidelines. The Department will provide notice when the guidelines are updated.
