Alberta oilfield opportunity intelligence
Oil and Gas Public Records Tool
Make scattered public oil and gas records easier to search, organize, annotate, and export.
The research problem
Useful oilfield information may be public, but it is rarely organized around the question a service company is trying to answer: who should we research, what changed, and what deserves a follow-up? Teams often repeat searches across PDFs, spreadsheets, maps, and separate public databases. That makes consistent prospecting difficult and leaves context trapped in personal notes.
Make scattered public oil and gas records easier to search, organize, annotate, and export. FracturingHub brings operator research, well records, opportunity signals, saved searches, watchlists, notes, and exports into one workspace. It is designed for business-development research—not as a substitute for official records or professional judgment.
How FracturingHub helps
- Define the region, operator profile, well status, and opportunity type worth monitoring.
- Search public operator and well information with consistent filters.
- Save relevant operators, wells, or signals to your workspace watchlist.
- Add verification notes, tags, source context, and a clear next action.
- Create a saved search and enable a weekly digest for repeatable monitoring.
- Export a research-ready CSV before outreach or account planning.
- Verify material details against the linked official source before acting.
Who it is for
This workflow is useful for oilfield service companies, environmental and reclamation contractors, equipment suppliers, safety and training providers, consultants, local contractors, sales teams, and regional market researchers. Each group can use the same organized source material while applying its own qualification criteria.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not treat a status label as proof that work is available. Avoid sending generic outreach solely because a record appeared in a search. Check the source date, confirm the operator identity, document why the account fits, and separate verified facts from your team’s interpretation. A shorter, well-qualified watchlist is usually more actionable than a large unreviewed spreadsheet.
From scattered spreadsheets to a repeatable system
Spreadsheets remain useful for a one-time handoff, which is why FracturingHub includes CSV export. They become fragile when a team needs recurring searches, usage controls, saved context, notes, and alerts. A workspace keeps the research process connected: search results become watchlist records, watchlist records gain notes, and saved searches feed the weekly review.
Frequently asked questions
Is this government data?
FracturingHub is independent and is not affiliated with the Government of Alberta, the AER, or an operator. It organizes public information and user-added research.
Does a signal guarantee a lead or contract?
No. A signal is a prompt for research. It does not guarantee a sales lead, tender, contract, regulatory outcome, production result, or business result.
Can I save and export the research?
Yes. Paid plans support saved searches, watchlists, notes, weekly digests, and CSV exports within published usage limits.
Build your opportunity watchlist
Start with a focused search, preserve the context, and give your next weekly review a useful starting point.

The Public Records Problem
Oil and gas public records contain exactly the information a service company needs — well status, operator identity, licensee, and regulatory filings — but they were never organized as a research tool. They exist as CSV exports and PDF filings scattered across regulator databases. A public records tool consolidates these into one searchable, annotatable workspace so teams stop repeating the same searches across disconnected files.
The primary Canadian sources are the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) ST37 well list and Petrinex. In the United States, equivalent records come from state regulators, FracFocus chemical disclosure, and the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Geological and environmental baselines come from the USGS and EPA, and offshore records from BSEE.
What You Can Research
- Well records — status (active, inactive, suspended, abandoned), type, location, and licensee.
- Operator records — portfolios, activity level, and geographic footprint.
- Regulatory filings — drilling, completion, suspension, and abandonment applications.
- Production context — history that signals workover or reactivation needs.
Browse live records through the operators directory, the wells database, and the map, and drill into status views such as inactive wells, suspended wells, and abandoned wells.
Turning Records Into Research
Records become useful when you add qualification and context. Attach notes, tags, and a next action to each record, save searches for recurring monitoring, and verify material details against the official source before acting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an oil and gas public records tool?
A workspace that consolidates scattered public well, operator, and regulatory records into one searchable, annotatable, exportable view for research.
Where do the records come from?
Public sources: the AER ST37 well list and Petrinex in Alberta, plus state regulators, FracFocus, EIA, USGS, EPA, and BSEE data in the United States.
Is this affiliated with any regulator?
No. FracturingHub is independent and organizes public information alongside user-added research. Verify material details with the official source.
What well statuses can I search?
Active, inactive, suspended, and abandoned, plus well type, location, licensee, and operator attributes.
What is the difference between a licensee and an operator?
The licensee holds the well licence and regulatory liability; the operator conducts operations. Transfers can separate them, which matters for liability and outreach research.
Can I export the records?
Yes. Paid plans support saved searches, watchlists, notes, and CSV export within published usage limits.
Are the records always up to date?
Public data may be incomplete or delayed. Always verify against the official source before acting on any record.
How do I avoid repeating the same searches?
Save searches and enable a weekly digest so recurring monitoring runs automatically instead of manually each time.
What is AER ST37?
The Alberta Energy Regulator's public list of well licences and their status — a foundational record for Alberta research.
Can I annotate records?
Yes. Notes, tags, and next actions can be attached to well and operator records so context stays with the data.
Does a record indicate available work?
No. A record is a research prompt, not proof of work. Qualify it before outreach.
Does this work for U.S. records?
The same approach applies using state regulator data, FracFocus, and EIA sources across basins such as the Permian, Bakken, and Marcellus.
What sources verify chemical disclosures?
FracFocus is the primary public registry for hydraulic fracturing chemical disclosure in the United States.
Does FracturingHub provide legal advice?
No. It provides research organization only and does not offer legal, engineering, regulatory, investment, or financial advice.
