Crown royalties are a major cost for Alberta’s oil and gas companies—but many producers overpay due to overlooked deductions, incomplete documentation, or evolving rules.
DMA helps companies stay compliant, defend against audits, and recover overpaid royalties under Alberta’s complex Crown Royalty framework—including specialized support for Gas Cost Allowance (GCA), post-payout oil sands recovery, and related programs.
DMA supports Alberta producers with full-service compliance solutions in alignment with Alberta’s Crown Royalty rules and reporting requirements. Our services include:
Whether acting as a strategic advisor or providing a fully outsourced compliance solution, DMA helps producers ensure filings are timely, accurate, and defensible.
Even with strong internal oversight, royalty overpayments are common—especially when companies have complex operations, volumetric flow changes, multiple ownership structures, or frequent changes in assets and field activity. DMA’s recovery services are designed to identify and recover overpaid royalties, while strengthening future reporting practices. Our areas of focus include:
Our consultants manage the full lifecycle of royalty recovery—from discovery through claim submission—ensuring minimal disruption to your operations and stronger results going forward.
Many of our oil and gas clients also engage DMA for property tax filing and assessment reviews, leveraging our deep knowledge of oilfield and industrial assets across both royalty and taxation programs.
From Crown Royalties to property tax, DMA helps oil and gas producers manage critical compliance obligations and cost recovery opportunities. Whether you’re looking to strengthen compliance, revisit past filings, or explore recovery opportunities, DMA can help.
