Seismic Legislation Compliance ESRD receives applications for proposed seismic exploration programs
and approves the applications under the legislation for all petroluem and natural gas seismic exploration within the province of Alberta. SRD oversees day-to-day operations and ensures legislation compliance with the legislations which includes:
Exploration Directives
Schedule 1 of Alberta's Exploration Regulation includes a list of 26 exploration directives. While the Regulation describes the "must do" about exploration operations, the directives explain "how to do". The directives use plain language to make exploration requirements easy to understand. Each exploration directive is enforced through the specific section of the Mines and Minerals Act and Exploration Regulation that the directive references.
Exploration Restricted Areas
Certain lands in Alberta have seismic operational restrictions.

Oil Sands Exploration
ESRD has the mandate to approve and regulate the use of public
land for oil sands exploration within the province of Alberta under the following legislations:
Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act
The “Code of Practice for Exploration Operation” is made
pursuant to this act. Reclamation and Reclamation Certificates are regulated through this.
Public Lands Act
Section 20 of the Act authorizes the use of public land.
