Pay your oil and natural gas royalties and tax

Last updated on June 26, 2024

Oil and natural gas producers, also known as royalty payers, must pay all invoiced royalties by the due date for each production month they are payable.

Your invoice includes a payment due date. Review your Statement of Account to see the full amount owed.

Payment is due at the end of the month, or the next business day if the last day of the month falls on a weekend or a B.C. statutory holiday. Specific payment due dates are listed in the monthly Petrinex Reporting Calendars.
