Orders

AER orders are legal documents that formally permit, direct or prohibit a specific action or actions. Orders help us ensure that oil and gas companies operate in a safe and environmentally responsible way. Orders can be issued for different purposes; for example, we might order a company to

• reduce its normal spacing of wells;

• close or abandon a facility; or

• stop an unsafe activity or operation.

Many Orders and their applications and supporting documents are searchable, viewable and downloadable through a number of systems found on the AER Systems & Tools website. Some of these systems include Public Notice of Application, Publication of Decision, Integrated Application Registry Query (IAR), and Historical Applications and Decisions Database.
