The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) is a quasi-judicial, independent agency regulating the development of energy resources in Alberta. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, the AER's mandate under the Responsible Energy Development Act (REDA) is "to provide for the efficient, safe, orderly and environmentally responsible development of energy resources and mineral resources in Alberta.” [1]
Alberta Energy Regulator "regulates approximately - 181,000 active wells, 27,800 oil facilities and 20,000 gas facilities, and 405,000 kilometres (km) of pipelines." AER also "considers some 36 800 applications for energy development every year." [4] In December 2012, the Responsible Energy Development Act [8] passed in the Alberta Legislature.

The pipeline runs from Hardisty, Alberta , in Canada, to Superior, Wisconsin , in the United States, integrating the company's Canadian oil sands pipeline system ...
In Alberta, the sole regulator of the province's energy development—from a project's first application, licensing and production, through to its decommissioning, closure, and reclamation—is the 100% industry-funded corporation, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). The AER, which replaced the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) in 2013 ...

Map of all pipelines regulated by the Canadian Energy Regulator that originate from Alberta. Graph outlining oil prices and breakevens for different extraction. methods used in Alberta. Planned production in the Athabasca oil sands. This is a brief timeline covering the history of the petroleum industry Alberta and its predecessor states.
The main purpose of these regulations is to prevent and minimize potential damage of induced seismicity. In Alberta, different subsurface orders are required. According to Section 11.104 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Rules, subsurface orders are issued. [28] For example, Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) issued subsurface No.2 to Duvernay formation.
In 1938, the Energy Utilities Board (EUB) succeeded the Petroleum and Natural Gas Conservation Board. The AEUB later became the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) and the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). On June 17, 2013. The AER took over energy resource development's oversight in terms of full-lifecycle regulations. [15]
