Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Liens
Saskatchewan Oil and Gas liens are filed against the mineral interest associated with where you have provided work. These mineral interests are either publicly owned Government of Saskatchewan or privately owned individual or corporation. The ownership of the minerals will determine where your lien will be registered in Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan has a separate government registry that registers a Builders Lien against oil and gas interests that are publicly owned. It is similar to an Alberta Oil and Gas lien . If you have provided work, materials, services, or labour, etc. to an oil and gas well site you are eligible to file a builders lien against the mineral interests you have been working on in Saskatchewan.
