In 2011, the B.C. oil and gas industry and the B.C. Government signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the Implementation Plan for the Ongoing Management of Borel Caribou in B.C.
BC OGRIS administered the research activities under this initiative through a funding envelope originating from oil and gas production levies and well
application fees. These fees and levies apply to all upstream companies operating in BC. Additional contributions were received from the BC Energy Regulator. A total of $8.9 million in funding was provided by BC OGRIS to support projects between 2011 and 2019.
Projects supported by BC OGRIS are listed under the Boreal Caribou section of the Projects web pages. These projects are being implemented under further MoUs and/or government and industry initiatives.
