Alberta oil and gas wells map

Active producing wells drawn from the Alberta Energy Geoview active sub-surface well layer, coloured green for oil and red for gas, over the AER Map-90 oil and gas fields. Zoom in to load wells for the area on screen; click any well for its UWI, operator and status.

The Geoview service lists about 268,800 active sub-surface well legs, 339,600 abandoned and 57,600 suspended. For a full well list with licence detail use AER ST37 or Alberta Well Finder.

Frequently asked

How many oil wells are there in Alberta?
Alberta Energy's Geoview well service held about 268,800 active sub-surface well legs, 339,600 abandoned and 57,600 suspended in October 2026. Crude oil production was 547,700 bbl/d in 2025 from conventional, tight and heavy-oil wells, plus 1.95 million bbl/d of in-situ bitumen. More
How deep are oil wells in Alberta?
It depends on the play: Clearwater heavy oil sits at roughly 500–900 m, Cardium and Viking at 1,000–2,000 m, Montney at 1,500–3,500 m and Duvernay at 2,500–4,000 m. In-situ oil sands wells target 150–500 m. More
