As part of its recommendations, the task force proposed streamlining the capture of upstream production and processing data. It also recommended developing a registry containing key oil and gas information accessible and shareable by the ministry and industry. This information will be accessible to authorized stakeholders and their information systems.
Volumetric information measures oil, gas and water volumes, weights and temperature.
Infrastructure information identifies oil and gas wells, units, facilities, clients and operators of record. Registry development includes business system design, system architecture, design and construction of several releases, acceptance testing, implementation and operations and maintenance. It also involves industry and ministry readiness processes and training. Registry development will involve changes to business procedures and practices for industry and government. The conceptual design and business area analysis phases of registry development have already been completed.
