Abstract

The Regulation lays down criteria and requirements for agreements (leases and permits) that grant rights in respect of oil sands. The rights conveyed from an oil sands agreement consist in the right to drill for, win, work, recover and remove oil sands belonging to the Crown within the location of the oil sands agreement, or if the oil sands agreement relates to one or more specified zones, in the specified zone or zones within the location, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the oil sands agreement. A permittee may, during the term of the permit, apply for one or more primary leases of oil sands rights in the location of the permit. A lessee of a primary lease may also apply to the Minister for approval of the continuation of the lease respecting certain terms and conditions. The Minister can establish conditions of production to the continued lease (minimum level of production).
