The AER continues to enhance its Security Collection Framework, aiming to minimize provincial liability inventory. This initiative not only supports the Orphan Well Association but also ensures the protection of financially robust and capable companies.

Did you know the AER has updated the transfer security ranges in Manual 23 for 2025? These changes narrow crossover timelines, presenting new challenges for producers and midstream licensees. Adapting to the updated security ranges is crucial for improving your Licensee Capability Assessment (LCA) and staying competitive.

This course provides guidance on what triggers a Holistic Licensee Assessment and how the Security Collection Framework determines security. You will learn how to avoid common mistakes and misconceptions related to LCAs and gain a clear understanding of new regulatory requirements.

The live course is scheduled for Tuesday, January 21, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. MT. via ZOOM.
