Eligible well

2(1) Subject to subsection (2), an eligible well is a well that

(

a) is spudded on or after April 1, 2009 but before April 1, 2011,

(

b) has a finished drilling date on or after April 1, 2009 but

2009 (AR 221/2008) or

section 27 of the Oil Sands Royalty

Regulation, 2009 (AR 223/2008).

(2) A well is not an eligible well if the well

(

a) is part of a Project, or is the subject of an application to be

part of a Project, under the Oil Sands Royalty Regulation,

2009 (AR 223/2008),

(

b) is drilled for a purpose other than recovering crude oil or gas,

including the disposal or injection of a substance into the

well,

(

c) is a re-entry well where the original well does not meet the

(3) Additional information must be provided to the Minister by the

licensee or operator of a well if required to aid in determining whether

the well meets the requirements of this section.

Establishing drilling royalty credits

3(1) The Minister may establish a drilling royalty credit for an eligible

well in accordance with the following formula:

DRC = DM x $200.00 x CI

where

DRC is the drilling royalty credit for the well;

DM is, according to the records of the Board, the total distance in

metres of new drilling for the well, including well legs and

drains, calculated in accordance with subsection (2), as of the

finished drilling date;

CI is the Crown interest.

(2) In calculating the total distance in metres of new drilling under

subsection (1),

(

a) a well leg or drain must be counted only once,

(

b) for a well containing one or more well events and no well

legs or drains, the distance for each well event in the well is

the length, in metres, along the bore of the well from the

kelly bushing of the well containing the well event to the

deepest point of drilling of the well event,

(

c) for a well containing one well event and one or more well

legs or drains, the distance for that well event is the sum of

(

i) the length, in metres, of the well event, from the kelly

bushing of the well containing the well event to the

deepest point of drilling of the well event, and

(ii) the sum of the lengths, in metres, of all the well legs or

drains in the well containing the well event, from the

kick-off point of each well leg or drain to the furthest

point of drilling of the well leg or drain,

(

d) for a well not described in clause (

b) or (c), the distance may

be determined by the Minister, and

(

e) for a well that has more than one finished drilling date, the

Minister shall determine which is the finished drilling date

for the purpose of this Regulation.

(3) For the purpose of

section 5(4), the drilling royalty credit

calculated for an eligible re-entry well is deemed established as of the

finished drilling date of the original well.

(4) If the Minister is satisfied that any grant or benefit has been

provided by any government, including the Government of Alberta or

referable in whole or in part to an eligible well, the Minister may

reduce by an amount that does not exceed the amount of the grant or

benefit any drilling royalty credit established in respect of that well.

(5) Drilling royalty credits established under subsection (1) shall not

be recalculated after June 30, 2011, unless the Minister considers it

appropriate to do so.

Allocating drilling royalty credits to royalty payers

4(1) The licensee of an eligible well must allocate a drilling royalty

credit to any one or more royalty payers, such that the entire drilling

royalty credit is allocated.

(2) The licensee must, in the form and manner determined by the

Minister, notify the Minister of the allocations.

(3) Once the Minister has been notified under subsection (2), the

licensee may not make any changes to the allocations.

Applying drilling royalty credits

5(1) In this section,

section 8;

(c) "royalty obligations" mean, in respect of a royalty payer,

royalty obligations determined under

section 9.

royalty credit balance of a royalty payer must be applied by the

production of the royalty payer is greater than zero cubic

metres and less than or equal to 1590 cubic metres,

(b) 40% of the royalty obligations, if the average daily Crown

production of the royalty payer is greater than 1590 cubic

metres and less than or equal to 2385 cubic metres,

(c) 30% of the royalty obligations, if the average daily Crown

production of the royalty payer is greater than 2385 cubic

metres and less than or equal to 3180 cubic metres,

(d) 20% of the royalty obligations, if the average daily Crown

production of the royalty payer is greater than 3180 cubic

metres and less than or equal to 3975 cubic metres, or

(e) 10% of the royalty obligations, if the average daily Crown

production of the royalty payer is

(

i) greater than 3975 cubic metres, or

(ii) equal to zero cubic metres.

(3) Where a person becomes a royalty payer on or after January 1,

2009 but before April 1, 2010, the amounts applied against royalty

applied against royalty obligations of a royalty payer for the

production months commencing with the April 2009

production month and ending with the March 2011

production month, and

(

b) on or after April 1, 2010 but before April 1, 2011 must be

subsection (2) by the end of the month in which royalty obligations are

determined in respect of the March 2011 production month will be

forfeited.
