The Pembina Institute has been working on new resources for Albertans to understand their rights and the potential benefits and risks of hosting energy projects on their land.
Initially, in 2001, the Pembina Institute published the book "When the Oilpatch Comes to Your Backyard", which formed the basis for the "Landowners’ Guide to Oil and Gas Development".
This comprehensive resource helps Albertans understand their rights, responsibilities, and options when oil and gas firms operate on their land.
A new fourth edition of the guide was released in October 2025, reflecting nearly a decade of change in Alberta’s regulatory landscape.
