Purpose of this Directive
This directive has been developed to assist industry in completing and submitting daily operations records and well data in a timely manner.
The AER collects well drilling, completion, reconditioning (i.e., servicing), and abandonment data in order to maintain an accurate record of each well drilled in the province, both for its own use and for the use of the oil and gas industry in performing drilling, completion, and servicing operations in a safe and efficient manner.
Any questions related to Directive 059 can be addressed via e-mail to Directive059Help@aer.ca.
