Western Canada Pipeline Construction Detail

Pipeline permits include gathering or transport pipelines of a liquid, gas or oil through a system of pipes. In addition to these main types of pipelines, there are also four other sub-categories of pipelines: Gathering Lines, Feeder Lines, Transmission Pipelines and Distribution Pipelines. The permits represent all types of pipelines. This section shows pipeline permits that have a new construction component. (Pipeline Construction Western Canada April 11, 2022 report date )

Pipeline Project Details

CNRL Permit#35,935 total 1.7KM Well to pipeline

Pelican Lake is a premium asset within Canadian Natural’s portfolio. We have had great success with enhanced oil recovery in this pool, first with water floods and now with polymer floods. Pelican Lake is a large, shallow crude oil pool in our Northern Plains core region. Although initially developed with primary production, we started converting portions of the field to water flood in 2004, resulting in a significant production increase which reversed the previous three years of production decline. Building on that success, we began testing polymer flooding in 2005.

This enhanced oil recovery technique has proven to be much more effective than water flooding and as such, we converted more of the field to polymer flood. In late 2017, the Company added to its strategic position at this world class pool with the purchase of certain Pelican Lake assets. The addition of these lands consolidated Canadian Natural’s ownership of 100% of the lands in the pool and allows for opportunities to capture synergies in servicing, facility operation and area management.

GEAR ENERGY LTD. Permit #62,989 1.25KM Well to pipeline

The Celtic/Paradise Hill property was acquired as primarily undeveloped non-producing land starting in March 2014 and is located within Township 52, and Ranges 23 and 24 W3 and is approximately 40 kilometres northeast of Lloydminster Alberta. It is currently comprised of approximately 7,700 Gross (7,500 Net) acres of land. There are no material expiries expected as the majority of lands have been continued pursuant to the applicable tenure regulations. Celtic/Paradise Hill is characterized by unconsolidated Upper Mannville group clastic reservoirs with depths ranging from 500 meters to 650 meters. While the McLaren formation has been the most exploited interval, Sparky and Waseca also hold potential as future development targets on Gear acreage.

The Wildmere field is located within Townships 47, 48 and 49, and Ranges 3, 4, 5 and 6W4, is approximately 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, Alberta. The property consists of approximately 27,000 Gross (25,000 Net) acres of lands with no material expiries as the majority of lands have been continued pursuant to the applicable tenure regulations.

The Wilson Creek property was acquired in July 2016 pursuant to the Striker Arrangement and is located primarily within Townships 42 and 43, and Ranges 4 and 5 W5 in Central Alberta. The primary target zone is the regional Basal Belly River consolidated sandstone formation, which is a light oil pool that requires hydraulic fracturing. It is comprised of approximately 54,000 Gross (42,000 Net) acres of land.
