OSE Application

WPM in cooperation with one of its subcontractors has a number of team members who provide our clients with a one-window approach to surface acquisitions. We are able to provide all aspects of government applications from Caribou Protection plans, OSE applications right through to third party agreements. Our focus is on oil sand exploration and development. Clients can conveniently monitor the progress of their projects through our on-line database of our subcontractor.

By drawing on experience as previous Forest Officers, our subcontractor has had the opportunity to see applications from a regulatory perspective.

Combined with extensive experience in the private sector, we are able to complete applications that address all relevant issues. We are also provide clients with advice and suggestions on all their surface land requirements as projects develop. WPM and its subcontractor have the expertise to act as liaison between forest management companies, other stakeholders and oil sands producers. This integrated approach improves integrated land management, reduces construction costs and reduces construction time.
