Overview
Getting Started with Fieldnorm
Fieldnorm is LDAR compliance software built for small and mid-size upstream oil and gas operators in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. It replaces spreadsheets and paper logbooks with a fast, mobile-friendly web application that guides your team through every step required by your provincial regulator — AER Directive 060 in Alberta, the BC Fugitive Emissions Management Regulation, or Saskatchewan MER requirements.
What is Fieldnorm?
With Fieldnorm you can:
- Register all your production facilities and the individual components that must be inspected under D060
- Conduct and record AVO (Audio, Visual, Olfactory) and OGI (Optical Gas Imaging) inspections on a mobile device in the field
- Automatically track any leaks found, with the 30-day repair deadline calculated for you
- Update repair status as work progresses — from OPEN through IN_REPAIR to REPAIRED and VERIFIED
- Generate a fully formatted, AER-compliant PDF report for annual submission in one click
- See at a glance on your dashboard which facilities have overdue or upcoming inspections and which leaks need urgent attention
Who is it for? Fieldnorm is designed for operators in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan running between 5 and 50 wells who need to meet their provincial LDAR obligations without the complexity or cost of enterprise software. A single field supervisor or compliance manager can run the entire system.
What LDAR Regulations Require
Whether you operate under AER Directive 060 (Alberta), the BC Fugitive Emissions Management Regulation, or Saskatchewan MER requirements, the core obligations are the same:
- 1Conduct LDAR inspections at each production facility on a defined schedule (annual or quarterly depending on facility type) using approved methods — AVO and/or OGI.
- 2Record the results of every inspection — including which components were checked and what was found.
- 3Repair any detected leaks within 30 days of detection (15 days for compressor seals in BC).
- 4Verify that repairs were successful and document the repair date.
- 5Submit an annual compliance report to your provincial regulator demonstrating all obligations were met.
Fieldnorm automates steps 2 through 5 and produces a compliance report you can use as source data for your annual submission to AER OneStop (AB), KERMIT (BC), or Saskatchewan MER.
