About this app

Dispatch sends an LSD. WellPad turns that LSD into GPS coordinates on the spot and sends you to the lease in Google Maps. No cell service needed for the lookup.

WellPad is an offline Alberta LSD finder and lease locator for oil and gas crews, made by an Alberta field tech for the people who actually drive to well sites.

WHY CREWS USE IT
- Lookups work with no service. 5.3 million Alberta Legal Subdivisions (LSDs) and land locations live right on your phone.
- Real Alberta parcel locations, not a formula, so road allowances, correction lines and odd sections land where they should.
- Built for the truck. Big glove-friendly buttons, meridian lock, and dark mode for night shifts.
- Pay once. No subscription, no ads, no account.

FIND IT
Enter any legal land description in the Alberta Township System (ATS / DLS): an LSD, quarter section or section.
16-12-054-08 W5 · NE 25-4-1 W4 · SEC 25-4-1 W4
Tap it in on the grid, or type or paste it straight from a work order or text. WellPad converts the LSD to GPS latitude and longitude instantly. Covers all meridians: W4, W5, W6.

GET THERE
One tap drops the location into Google Maps, labelled with the LSD and ready for turn-by-turn driving directions to the wellsite. Directions run in Google Maps, so starting a route needs a signal. Heading out of range? Download a Google Maps offline area for the region first and you can navigate with no service.

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
Reverse LSD lookup: tap GPS to see which LSD you're standing in, plus the distance and direction to its center.

PRO TOOLS
- AER wells on the lease: UWI, well name, licensee and status for every wellbore on a surface LSD, updated monthly.
- Field notes with photos: gate combos, lock codes, hazards and lease road directions.
- Save the real spot: the LSD center isn't always the wellhead, meter building or gate. Pin the exact GPS point for your next visit.
- Favorites with job, battery or facility nicknames, your last 50 lookups, and full backup and restore including photos.

PRICING
Every Pro feature is free for 21 days. After that, WellPad stays free with 3 lookups a day, forever. Unlock Pro once for unlimited lookups, with no monthly or yearly fees.

MADE FOR
Production operators and pumpers, E&I techs and oilfield electricians, millwrights and mechanics, wellsite supervisors and consultants, hot shots, vac trucks and haulers, drilling, service rig and completions crews, pipeline and heavy equipment crews, landmen, land agents and surveyors.

PRIVACY
No account. No ads. No background location tracking or battery drain.
