Alberta Energy Regulator Licensing Requirements - Who May Hold A Licence And How To Transfer A License

Who can Hold a Licence: (AER Directive 067 and the Oil and Gas Conservation Act and Pipeline Act):

Parties wishing to be licensees with a Licence Eligibility Type to hold AER Licences may either first acquire a Business Administrative, or BA code through the Petroleum Registry of Alberta and then apply to the AER through the appropriate schedule in Directive 067, or submit the appropriate schedule in accordance with this directive, and the AER will acquire the BA code on behalf of the party. The entity must then apply for access to the Electronic Transfer System ("ETS").  The ETS provides secure access to do business electronically with Alberta Energy, and registration with this system is mandatory. In order to hold AER licences, a party must meet the licensee requirements set out in Section 5 of Directive 067 and have their BA code approved with an appropriate Licence Eligibility Type.  The AER is responsible for designating the licence eligibility.
