Common Question
When should WIP and mineral-rights issues be checked?
Archive Findings
The 2018 well-licensing records show that rights questions can affect whether an application is routine and who must be involved or notified. Schedule 2.1 material also ties working-interest information to application completeness.
Rights issues are not end-of-file cleanup; they can change the filing strategy.

Confirm mineral rights, WIPs, lands, zones, and applicant eligibility before building the D056 package. For facilities, confirm the applicant can hold the licence.
Current Guidance
Use Directive 056 and Manual 012 for well and facility application content. Check Directive 067 where licence eligibility is relevant.
