Water Management Basins [BCOGC-44435]
Water management basins define locations of water withdrawal when applying for a basin Section 8 application. If it is not possible for a company to pre-define all locations of water withdrawal, companies are then able to apply for a basin Section 8 approval. A basin Section 8 approval allows for withdrawals of up to 45 m3/day, to a maximum of 5,000 m3/year, specified to a drainage basin or basins. Basin Section 8 approvals are limited to small water uses where it is not possible to pre-define withdrawal points, including geophysical exploration, winter ice road construction, dust suppression, hydrostatic testing of pipelines, and other uses, provided the volume use restrictions can be met.
Unconventional Play Trends [BCOGC-44899]
Unconventional play trends depict the general location and extent of unconventional hydrocarbon resources. Play trends will change over time as knowledge of the resource increases. Current examples of unconventional play trends include the Montney, Liard, Cordova and Horn River Basin plays.

Ambient Noise Contours For Major Highways in NEBC [BCOGC-75841]
Through the BC Oil and Gas Research and Innovation Society (BCOGRIS), a series of ambient noise level contours have been constructed around heavily-traveled roadways in Northeast BC. These contours are being made available to all permit holders to allow for the consistent calculation of Class A2 adjustments as described in the Noise Control Best Practices Guideline.

Disposal Well Dashboard [BCOGC-90772]
This tool combines operational data and approval information into plots and data tables for wells approved and operating for disposal of produced water and nonhazardous waste. Additionally, the Dashboard utilizes this data to estimate and display the remaining volume and date of disposal capacity fill-up. The Dashboard also allows for the export of disposal well approval information in csv/Excel format.

Oil and Gas Surface Land Use [BCOGC-115661]
Surface Land Use (SLU) is a mechanism to measure surface disturbances caused by oil and gas activity and identify the type and land area attributed to historical and current oil and gas activities. Each year the Regulator calculates the total surface area used by oil and gas activities. This product is updated annually.
