Orphan Wells [BCOGC-106989]
This dataset lists the wells (WAs) that are located on orphan sites, where permanent plugging (abandonment/decommissioning) is managed by the Orphan Fund. The current status of each well is provided. For a KML, please choose the third layer option - 'Vector layers as vectors and raster layers as images.'
Orphan Sites
Orphan Pipelines [BCOGC-107015]
This dataset lists all designated pipeline orphan sites, each of which only contains pipeline segment(s). Each site's decommissioning and restoration progress (status) is provided.
Wells
Abandonment Notice [BCOGC-111293]
Wells for which an abandonment notice has been submitted
Facilities
Plant Capacities with Facility Statuses [BCOGC-112554]
Plant capacities with facility statuses. Mimics the report from data downloads, but with the added facility status column

Oil and Gas Surface Land Use [BCOGC-115661]
Surface Land Use (SLU) is a mechanism to measure surface disturbances caused by oil and gas activity and identify the type and land area attributed to historical and current oil and gas activities. Each year the Regulator calculates the total surface area used by oil and gas activities. This product is updated annually.

Activity Levels
Drilling & Production [BCOGC-129238]
We regulate oil and gas activity and are responsive to changes in activity levels, in order to protect the integrity of B.C.’s environment and water resources. As technology evolves, average reserves per new well continues to increase, enabling drilling to replace and increase production with fewer new locations.
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.
Seismic
Northeast B.C. Seismicity Map [BCOGC-129255]
This map displays recent and past seismic events of greater than local magnitude 1.5 that were recorded in the northeast region of British Columbia.
Dormant Sites
Dormant Sites Map [BCOGC-129263]
This map allows users to identify information on dormant sites, filter by operator and status, and search for dormant sites by location and well authorization number. Orphan Sites can also be shown on the map and include wells, facilities, pipelines and associated areas where a company is declared bankrupt or cannot be located.
Compliance and Enforcement
Submissions Due [BCOGC-130003]
This report lists upcoming and past due well data submissions. The report can be filtered and sorted by permit holder (“operator”), submission type, and a selection of other data fields. Permit holders are expected to use this information to help manage their reporting timelines and stay in compliance with legislated requirements for information submissions.
Geophysical
Legacy 2D Seismic Lines with Ecology Data [BCOGC-130319]
This dataset is a value-added product derived from multiple spatial data sources, including but not limited to, TRIM Miscellaneous Lines, vegetation resource inventories, historical wildfires, caribou herd locations, consolidated cutblocks and generalized forest cover ownership.

Facilities
Leak, Detection and Repair Data for Wells and Facilities (2020) [BCOGC-133942]
2020 Leak Detection and Repair Data for wells and facilities and the 2020 Equivalency Report.
Orphan Sites
Orphan Sites and Open Activities [BCOGC-143962]
This report lists all designated orphan sites (individual pad sites), each of which may contain well(s), facility equipment, and/or pipeline segments, as well as planned activities on orphan sites for the current operational year.
Geophysical
3D Seismic Line Ecological Recovery [BCOGC-145085]
This dataset is a value-added product derived from the BCER Geophysical Lines (Permitted) dataset; high-resolution satellite imagery was used to assess the condition of 3D seismic lines in a pilot study area to evaluate the current level of natural regeneration on 3D seismic lines. The information is useful in assessing the current condition of 3D seismic lines in the area and may be useful in potentially supporting restoration programs.
Facilities
Leak, Detection and Repair Data for Wells and Facilities (2022) [BCOGC-157842]
2022 Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Data for wells and facilities and the 2022 Equivalency Report.
Well Flare and Facility Volumetrics including Flare, Vent & Fuel Data [BCOGC-162511]
This report includes Petrinex and pre-Petrinex (prior to November 2018) reported data for wells and facilities in the province of British Columbia.
