Services/Oil & Gas Legal Survey
Survey plans for energy infrastructure across Alberta — well sites, pipelines, facilities, and access. Prepared under applicable legislation and filed where your approvals require it.
Legal Survey for Energy
Energy projects live or die on schedule, and a surface survey sits at the front of almost every approval. We plan, survey, and file the plans your applications depend on.
Our crews are equipped for remote and seasonal access across Alberta, and our plans are prepared to Alberta Land Surveyors' Association standards and the applicable legislation. Where a project needs more than the legal plan — terrain models, corridor LiDAR, or as-built capture — we can carry that work with the same crew and the same control.
What We Prepare
Standard Alberta scope, from first survey through final reclamation. Tell us which stage you're at and we'll scope from there.
Surface layout and plan preparation for new well sites — staking the surface location, establishing the site boundary, and preparing the plan required to support your surface application.
We handle single sites and multi-well pads, including re-entry and existing-site amendments where the footprint changes.
Route survey and right-of-way plan preparation for gathering systems, transmission lines, and utility corridors. We stake centreline, define the permanent and temporary workspace, and prepare the plan for registration and approval.
For longer corridors, airborne LiDAR gives you terrain and clearance data on the same mobilization — useful for route optimization before the plan is finalized.
Surface lease surveys and plans for compressor stations, batteries, tank farms, and processing facilities. Boundary definition, site layout, and the survey plan your lease agreement and regulatory filing require.
Our facility construction crews can carry the same site through pile and pad layout — see Construction Surveying.
Route selection support, centreline staking, and plan preparation for permanent and temporary access. Coordinated with your well site or facility survey so the whole surface package files together.
Statutory plans prepared and signed by an Alberta Land Surveyor, monumented and filed to meet Surveys Act requirements. This is the legal backbone under most surface dispositions — it needs to be right the first time.
Post-construction as-built surveys documenting what was actually built and where, plus reclamation surveys supporting certificate applications at end of life.
Paired with airborne capture, reclamation reporting can cover a full site or corridor in a single visit with far less ground exposure.
Why Envision Geo
Energy survey work happens where the road ends and the season is short. Our crews and equipment are set up for it.
Often Paired With
Terrain, vegetation, and clearance data over pipeline and powerline corridors — captured before the route is locked in.
Pile, pad, and equipment foundation layout once the lease is surveyed and construction starts.
Spatially referenced records of every site, line, and access road, kept current as the asset base changes.
Send plans, drawings, or scope documents and we'll turn them around fast.
