Regulatory knowledge. Operational experience. Practical solutions.
Your first call when the answer isn't clear.
RegNav helps organizations investigate regulatory and operational issues, understand complex requirements, and identify practical solutions or a clear path forward.
Grounded in Alberta's energy industry, our work combines independent research, operational experience, and straightforward explanations to support organizations across Western Canada.
Regulatory & Operational Advisory
Understanding requirements. Addressing challenges. Finding practical options.
Regulatory requirements don't always translate easily into everyday operations. Changing directives, compliance findings, and conflicting interpretations can create uncertainty about what is required and how to proceed.
RegNav researches applicable requirements, examines the circumstances, and helps identify practical options grounded in regulatory expectations and operational realities.
- Regulatory research and interpretation
- AER, BCER and Saskatchewan requirements
- Compliance questions and readiness reviews
- Regulatory findings and notices
- Regulator correspondence support
- Regulatory change and applicability reviews
- Operational compliance planning
- Regulatory documentation reviews
Our focus is not simply identifying requirements, but helping clients understand how those requirements may apply to their circumstances and what options are available.
Research, Investigation & Problem-Solving
When the answer isn't straightforward.
Not every issue has an obvious solution, and not every problem falls within a traditional consulting service.
RegNav investigates unfamiliar issues, examines relevant sources, identifies conflicting information, and determines what the available evidence supports.
We explain our findings in plain language and identify practical solutions or a path toward resolving the issue.
- Independent regulatory and operational research
- Investigation of unusual or unresolved issues
- Review of conflicting information
- Identification of information gaps
- Assessment of available solutions and options
- Research summaries and findings reports
- Identification of practical next steps
- Identification of appropriate specialist expertise
Liability, Closure & Asset Transactions
Understanding exposure before making decisions.
Asset liabilities, closure obligations, and regulatory requirements can have significant implications for operating costs, capital planning, and asset transactions.
RegNav reviews available information to help identify areas of concern, regulatory considerations, and matters requiring further investigation.
- Portfolio exposure reviews
- Liability and closure considerations
- Inactive asset planning
- Closure prioritization
- Closure capital planning support
- Regulatory security questions
- Asset and licence information reviews
- Preliminary asset acquisition reviews
Preliminary Asset Acquisition Reviews & Findings
Acquiring oil and gas assets involves more than evaluating production and purchase price.
Regulatory history, closure obligations, licence status, and incomplete records can introduce additional exposure.
RegNav provides preliminary reviews of available regulatory and operational information to help prospective purchasers identify potential concerns before proceeding further.
Depending on the agreed scope, findings may address:
- Licence and asset information
- Available compliance history
- Liability and closure indicators
- Inactive or suspended assets
- Outstanding regulatory questions
- Missing or inconsistent records
- Areas requiring further investigation
- Additional due diligence priorities
Findings are presented in a practical, understandable format, highlighting concerns and matters warranting closer examination.
Preliminary reviews do not replace comprehensive legal, engineering, environmental, technical or financial due diligence.
Data & Portfolio Intelligence
Making information useful.
Important decisions can be complicated by scattered records, incomplete data, inconsistent reporting, and information that is difficult to interpret.
RegNav helps organizations organize, review, validate, and analyze available information to identify discrepancies, understand asset exposure, and produce clear findings.
- Operational and regulatory data organization
- Data quality and completeness reviews
- Portfolio exposure analysis
- Information gap identification
- Records reconciliation
- Executive summaries and reporting
- Decision-ready findings
- Dashboard development
