Application of Regulation

2 This Regulation applies to royalty on eligible production recovered

or obtained from a new well on or after April 1, 2009.

New well

3(1) Subject to subsection (4), a well is a new well if the well

(

a) commences production of crude oil or gas in the period

commencing on April 1, 2009, and ending on March 31,

2011, and

(

b) had no production before April 1, 2009.

(2) Subject to subsection (4), a well that recommences production of

crude oil or gas in the period commencing on April 1, 2009, and

ending on March 31, 2011, is a new well

(

a) if the well did not produce crude oil or gas, other than

excluded production, at any time in the period that

commenced on January 1, 2007, and ended on March 31,

2009, or

(

b) if

(

i) the well did produce crude oil or gas, other than

excluded production, in the period referred to in clause

(a), but not in the period that commenced on January 1,

2009, and ended on March 31, 2009, and

(ii) the total average monthly production rate of the well of

(

A) crude oil, and

(

B) gas

that is recovered or obtained from the well and

converted into equivalent volumes of oil as determined

by the Minister is less than 100 cubic metres of oil per

production month.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(b)(ii), the average monthly

production rate of a well must be determined by the Minister based on

the following production months:

(

a) if the well had 3 or more production months in the period that

commenced on January 1, 2007, and ended on December 31,

2008, the last 3 production months in that period, or

(

b) if the well had fewer than 3 production months in the period

referred to in clause (a), those production months.

(4) A well is not a new well if the well

(

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

2009 (AR 223/2008),

(

b) contains a well event in respect of which the Minister has, at

any time, prescribed a quantity of conservation gas pursuant

section 7(10)(

b) or (

d) of the Natural Gas Royalty

Regulation, 2009 (AR 221/2008) or

section 6(12)(

b) of the

Natural Gas Royalty Regulation, 2002 (AR 220/2002), or

(

c) ceases to be a new well under

section 6.

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

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

the well meets the requirements of this section.

(6) For the purposes of subsections (1)(

b) and (2)(

a) and (b)(i), if a

well did not produce crude oil or gas in a month because the Board

suspended production from the well for a contravention of or

non-compliance with the Oil and Gas Conservation Act or the Oil

Sands Conservation Act, the regulations under either Act or an order of

the Board, that month is deemed to be a month in which the well

produced crude oil or gas.

Eligible production

4 Crude oil or gas recovered or obtained from a well event is eligible

production if

(

a) it is not excluded production,

(

b) it is recovered or obtained from a well event in a new well,

(

c) the Crown interest in it is greater than 0%, and

(

d) it is subject to the payment of royalty under the Petroleum

Royalty Regulation, 2009 (AR 222/2008), the Natural Gas

Royalty Regulation, 2009 (AR 221/2008) or

section 27 of the

Oil Sands Royalty Regulation, 2009 (AR 223/2008).

Royalty reduction on eligible production

5(1) If crude oil or gas recovered or obtained from a well event is

eligible production, the royalty otherwise payable to the Crown on that

crude oil or gas is reduced to a maximum of 5% until

(

a) the end of the 12th eligible production month of the well that

contains the well event,

(

b) the date that the volume cap is reached for the well that

contains the well event,

(

c) the date that the well becomes part of a Project under the Oil

Sands Royalty Regulation, 2009 (AR 223/2008), or

(

d) March 31, 2012,

whichever occurs first.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), if a month was not an

eligible production month of a well because the Board suspended

production from the well for a contravention of or non-compliance

with the Oil and Gas Conservation Act or the Oil Sands Conservation

Act, the regulations under either Act or an order of the Board, that

month is deemed to be an eligible production month.

Volume cap

6 A new well reaches its volume cap and ceases to be a new well

when the total of the eligible production recovered or obtained from

the well and converted into equivalent volumes of oil as determined by

the Minister exceeds the equivalent of 7949 cubic metres of oil.

Excluded production

7(1) The Minister may, on application, determine that any substance

recovered from a well is excluded production if the Minister is of the

opinion that

(

a) the substance was recovered in an isolated occurrence that

was a test of the well,

(

b) the quantity of the substance recovered is consistent with a

test of the well,

(

c) the number of hours over which the substance is recovered is

consistent with a test of the well,

(

d) during the test of the well all gas recovered from the well was

flared or vented, and

(

e) after the test of the well all gas recovered from the well was

conserved.

(2) An application under subsection (1) must contain all the

information required by the Minister and be made within the time

period required by the Minister.

Factors affecting entitlement

8 If the Minister is of the opinion that

(

a) production from a well that is subject to a royalty reduction

has resulted in a material reduction in the production of crude

oil or gas from another well, production from which is not

subject to a royalty reduction,

(

b) a provision of this Regulation has not been complied with in

relation to a well,

(

c) compliance with

section 47(6) of the Act in connection with

an audit or examination relating to a royalty reduction in

respect of a well has been inadequate, or

(

d) one or more acts, agreements, arrangements, transactions or

operations were, before or after the coming into force of this

Regulation, effected for the purpose of improperly,

artificially or unduly obtaining a royalty reduction in respect

of a well,

the Minister may determine that eligible production recovered or

obtained from the well may not in whole or in part receive a royalty

reduction, or may revoke a royalty reduction in whole or in part.

Effect of revocation

9 If the Minister revokes a royalty reduction under

section 8 in

respect of a new well, royalty on the eligible production recovered or

obtained from the well is calculated as if entitlement to the reduction

never arose or arose only in part, in accordance with the revocation.

Reinstatement of royalty reduction

10(1) If the Minister considers it appropriate to do so, the Minister

may reinstate a royalty reduction that was revoked wholly or in part

under

section 8.

(2) If the Minister reinstates a royalty reduction under subsection

(1) in respect of a new well, royalty on the eligible production recovered

or obtained from the well is calculated as if entitlement to the

reduction was never revoked.

(3) A reinstatement made by the Minister under subsection (1) may be

made effective on a date earlier than the date the reinstatement is

made, but may not be effective in respect of any period of time for

which the Minister's power under

section 38 of the Act to recalculate

or make additional calculations of the Crown's royalty share of a

mineral has expired.

Reporting circumstances affecting eligibility

11 An operator or licensee must notify the Minister in writing on

learning of any circumstances that indicate that crude oil or gas was

not eligible in whole or in part for a royalty reduction that was applied

to the royalty payable on the crude oil or gas.

Minister's decision final

12 Where any question arises pertaining to the

interpretation or

application of this Regulation, the Minister is the sole judge of the

question and there is no appeal from the Minister's decision.

New wells that are exploratory wells

13 If a new well is an exploratory well under the Deep Oil

Exploratory Well Regulation (AR 225/2008), the determination of

whether the cumulative value determined under

section 6(2)(

b) of that

Regulation has been reached must be determined as if the well had not

received a royalty reduction under this Regulation.

Expiry

14 This Regulation expires on June 30, 2018.

Coming into force

15 This Regulation is effective on and from April 1, 2009.
