“Too many oil and gas companies have simply walked away from their obligation to remediate their well sites on First Nation lands.”
On the 2020 federal Site Rehabilitation Program and its failure to reach wells on First Nations land.
mung: CBC News — First Nations and the Site Rehabilitation Program“More than 88 percent of Beaver Lake Cree Nation traditional territory has been taken up for industrial development — over 35,000 oil and gas sites, 21,700 kilometres of seismic lines, and 4,028 kilometres of pipeline on land the Crown promised to share.”
BLCN has pursued a constitutional challenge against Alberta and Canada, arguing the cumulative footprint of resource development on their territory is itself a violation of Treaty 6. In 2022, the Supreme Court of Canada granted them advance costs — a recognition that the case is of public importance.
mung: Beaver Lake Cree Nation — Defend the Treaties campaign“Alberta returned $137 million in federal orphan well cleanup funds unspent, while at least 900 wells on First Nations land still qualified for cleanup.”
Of the $1.72 billion federal Site Rehabilitation Program, $85 million was allocated for First Nations cleanup and $15 million for Metis communities. First Nations leaders publicly asked to be allowed to direct the unspent Alberta portion toward wells on their own land. The money was returned to Ottawa instead.

The Orphan Well Association, the industry-funded body that inherits wells with no responsible owner, absorbed the Sequoia inventory on top of an already-growing backlog. "The Sequoia impact is huge. I still think it might be a little bigger than I expected," said Drew Yewchuk, a former staff lawyer with the University of Calgary's Public Interest Law Clinic who closely follows the issue. As of March 2025, the OWA's estimated total cleanup costs have reached an all-time high, and the projected completion timeline has been pushed back to between 2037 and 2040.
