A Review of Recent AB and SK Deep Drilling Activity
A summary of recent vertical and horizontal wells targeting the Lower Paleozoic and Precambrian throughout southern–central Alberta and southern–central Saskatchewan.
Encana is using its cube development technique to boost operational efficiency and production performance in the Montney. Two cubes at Tower and Pipestone are analyzed to showcase...
Productivity in eight major Canadian resource plays is compared between Q4 2017 and Q4 2018. Activity and production is tracked from 2007 to 2018. Activity levels, new well production rates...
The lateral transition from interbedded Duvernay carbonates and source rocks to the adjacent porous dolomitized Leduc reef provides another charging mechanism for the Leduc reservoir.
February’s spud count was down 10% from January’s numbers, and down 20% from activity levels a year ago. Both the McMurray and Suncor repeated as most targeted zone and most active...
Horizontal Multi-Stage Fracs Completed up to December 31, 2018
This analysis provides a play-by-play comparison of current completion practices, including metrics for cemented vs uncemented wells, technology, stimulation fluid, number of stages,...
An industry example from the Spirit River at Willesden Green is used to demonstrate how gas-liquid volume conversions in public production data mask the true make-up of a well’s...
Condensate volumes are under-reported while gas volumes are over-reported in public well data. Well productivity in terms of BOE is under-reported when field condensate is reported as a gas...
The longest Canadian well drilled to-date is a high-rate Montney producer in the south-central portion of NuVista’s Gold Creek play, where development is still relatively light.
