The Commission works to bring balance between the landscape we love and the energy we rely on.
Safeguarding the environment
Throughout the oil and gas activity lifecycle, we apply careful oversight and a commitment to continuous improvement to meet British Columbia’s energy and environmental goals.
British Columbia's energy industry is complex. We work to ensure companies develop energy resources responsibly. Throughout this process, it's our job to ensure both the environment and public safety are protected, and that those with concerns have the opportunity to have their voice heard.
Consultation & Notification
The consultation and notification process begins once a company is ready to explore, develop, produce and market oil and gas resources in B.C.
The Commission supports responsible resource development and requires applicants and permit holders to comply with appropriate enactments and regulations.
The Commission considers oil and gas sites as temporary; therefore, careful planning beforehand is required to ensure a successful project's completion.
