Oil and Gas Companies Not Paying Rent: Landowners

Landowners Dorin and Braun stopped MAGA Energy from accessing oil wells after unpaid lease fees totaling $36,000 over three years, citing enforcement of existing Alberta laws.

  • Some Edmonton landowners have erected a blockade to prevent MAGA Energy from accessing oil wells on their land, as the company has not paid its lease for three years.

  • Failing to pay landowners or municipalities is a long-standing issue in Alberta's oil and gas industry, and the government is 'focusing like a laser' on resolving it.
