Saskatchewan's Ministry of Energy and Resources is responsible for providing industry and government with the ability to apply for encumbrances and notices to be registered on a disposition, as well as the ability to discharge these instruments, including:

• Security Notices: Apply to register a security notice on an active Crown oil and gas disposition. This is a notice to parties interested in the security and provides the contact information of the Secured Party.
• Security Notice Complete Discharge: Apply to discharge a Security Notice from a Crown oil and gas disposition.
• Security Notice Amendment: Apply to amend a portion of the security (e.g. Secured Party's address or a name change). It's applied against a Security Notice instrument that is actively registered on a Crown oil and gas disposition.
• Security Notice Assignment: Apply to assign security to another party. It's applied against a Security Notice instrument that is actively registered on a Crown oil and gas disposition.

• Notice to Lapse: Apply to discharge a Security Notice from a Crown oil and gas disposition after a 30-day notice period issued to the Secured Party. Where there has been no Court Order keeping the security active, the Ministry discharges the Security Notice.
