# Default Notices & Research

## Default and Offset Notices 

Strictly speaking this isn't Crown Compare — it's a separate Crown research panel housed in the same workflow because the use case is adjacent. Please note that this data is only available for Alberta right now.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Default Notice Types

Expand the **Default Notice Type** dropdown.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review offset compensation notices

Check the box for **Offset Compensation** to identify scenarios where compensation is required and the offset is in default. Scroll to the right to see the associated default dates. You can also use the Offset Compensation dropdown to get all Offsets including the ones **not** in Default.

{% hint style="info" %}
Offset Compensation flags cases where compensation may be required for production on adjacent Crown wells. Scroll right in the grid to see the relevant default notice dates.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review Royalty Notices

Check the box for **Royalty** to find missing payments that could risk your lease standing.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Royalty notices flag missing payments. If royalties stay unpaid long enough, the lease can be cancelled — investigate every one of these.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review Struck Company Notices

Click the checkbox next to **Struck Company** to find active defaults associated with a struck company that you may need to mitigate with the crown/creditor.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Struck Company notices flag default companies associated with the lease's registered interests. Important caveat: these notices stick around even after the underlying issue is resolved, so an old struck-company flag doesn't necessarily mean the lease is at risk today. But always investigate the company to be sure.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm the Crown file

Click the **Stack Maps** link in the Source column to view crown-specific data and confirm the data directly.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.stackdx.com/untitled/default-notices-and-research.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
