PRIME is Energy and Resources' (ER) Process Renewal and Infrastructure Management Enhancement (PRIME) program. This multi-million dollar, multi-year, multi-project initiative will renew and modernize ER's oil and gas business processes and computer systems.

At a high level, PRIME will:

• Renew ER's oil and gas business processes and information systems to better meet the needs of industry stakeholders and the ministry; and
• Develop an integrated information system to support the ministry's new business processes that will provide web-based self-service functionality to industry.

PRIME will modernize the ministry's business processes and systems related to:

• Well and facility infrastructure, as well as oil and gas volumetric and valuation reporting.
• Oil and gas royalty and tax information and billing.
• Pipeline and flow line infrastructure.
• Reservoir management.
• Petroleum tenure and subsurface management.

The government's oil and gas legislation and regulations are being modernized to support the new business processes being introduced by PRIME.

Registry Saskatchewan Inclusion Project (RSIP) - Petroleum Registry Readiness Information for Industry

The Province of Saskatchewan became a full partner in the Petroleum Registry of Alberta in July 2009. RSIP is the PRIME project that will facilitate Saskatchewan's oil and gas industry to report well and facility infrastructure, volumetric and valuation information through the registry for use by the ministry and other stakeholders. Joining the registry will enable the ministry to replace existing legacy oil and gas systems with a secure, integrated solution that will interface with other ministry systems and government enterprise solutions.
