Exploration & Development Activities
Southeast Saskatchewan
Southeast Saskatchewan
- Initial assets acquired in October 2003 at metrics of $15,400/ boepd & $4.85/ boe of P+P reserves
- Light oil with attractive royalty regime & strong netback
- Q1 2008 average netback: $61/boe
- 3 year average F&D costs of $11.87/boe (including FDC)
- 2008E Production: 5,500 BOE/d
- 2008 Capital: C$49MM
- 49,000 net acres of undeveloped land
- Major oil pools with dominant position on Tilston & Souris Valley playtrend; opportunity in Bakken
- Drilled 130+ wells since October 2003 with 97% success
- Grand acquisition in August 2007 increased ownership of this play
- Focus is on following up new pool discovery in 2006 (Kenosee), continue drilling in established pools, & expansion to new lands
Kenosee Pool
Kenosee Pool, Southeast Saskatchewan
- New light oil (32-34° API) pool discovered in 2006 with attractive royalty regime & strong netback ($60+/boe in 2008)
- Original Oil in Place of ~25mmbbl
- Pool extention discovered in 2007
- Initial development on 200m spacing - evaluating 100m infill locations which culd double ultimate oil recovery
- Consistent, repeatable performance
Chedderville
Chedderville (Sylvan Lake / Markerville area of Central Alberta)
- Liquids rich, sweet natural gas, shallow gas and high productivity light oil
- Chedderville area well came on at 3.3 mmcf/d plus 160 bbl/d of liquids (~710 boe/d) in late 2007
- 3 additional wells tied in late 2008
- 3 additional wells drilled in Q1 2009, with follow up locations identified
- The map represents 6 wells on production, with one additional well brought on recently
Lloydminster
Lloydminster (Saskatchewan / Alberta)
- Ongoing successful horizontal drilling since discovery in 2005
- Downspacing underway
- Original Oil in Place of ~50mmbbl
- Acquired 50% working interest in 2008 to expand play
- Assessing pressure maintenance options to enhance recovery
