About this statute

This provision defines key terms used throughout the Oil and Gas Act. This part sets out who administers the Act, how powers can be delegated, how notices may be delivered, and how the Minister and Commissioner in Executive Council may make orders, regulations, and agreements. This provision lets the Minister manage oil and gas dispositions and related agreements, requires consultation with Yukon First Nations in some cases, and restricts unauthorized oil and gas activity. This segment sets rules for oil and gas permits, lease conversion, lease terms, and royalty payment, and gives the Minister and Commissioner in Executive Council regulation-making powers. This segment gives the Minister, Division Head, and related officials powers over royalty collection, transfer registration, security notices, and enforcement, and it sets notice and filing requirements for affected parties.
