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 Aug 30 2021 report date )

Pipeline Project Details
The following section provides details related to new pipeline construction permits
TRANSGLOBE ENERGY CORPORATION Permit #62581 Battery to pipeline 5.96KM
TransGlobe re-entered Canada through acquisition of the Harmattan property in central Alberta in December 2016
Harmattan is located approximately 80 kilometres north of Calgary, Alberta. This property produces oil and associated natural gas from the Cardium and Viking zones and liquids-rich natural gas from zones in the Lower Mannville and Rock Creek formations at vertical depths of 1,200 to 2,600 metres. The majority (~88%) of the production from the area is operated by TransGlobe. TransGlobe owns a 100% working interest in a large oil battery and a compressor station where a majority of oil volumes are handled. All gas is delivered to a third party non-operated gas plant for processing.
The Harmattan property covers 42,183 gross (37,560 net) acres of developed land and 38,732 gross (35,560 net) acres of undeveloped land.
Canadian Cardium light oil and liquids-rich gas production
The prolific Cardium formation has produced hydrocarbons in central Alberta for over 60 years; there are currently ~10,000 producing wells (of which ~3,900 are horizontal wells)
Favourable royalty and tax structure in current low price environment
WHITECAP RESOURCES INC. Permit#35522- Pipeline to battery – 4.6KM
Northwest Alberta and British Columbia
In the first quarter, we anticipate drilling a total of 10 (7.0 net) oil wells in this business unit including 6 (3.5 net) Cardium oil development wells in the Wapiti area, 3 (2.5 net) Charlie Lake horizontal oil wells in our Peace River Arch region and 1 (1.0 net) Dunvegan horizontal oil well. In addition, we will be participating in a non-operated (50% working interest) Montney completion at Karr and tying in our operated (65% working interest) 13-1 well which was successfully completed with an optimized stimulation design in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The Sturgeon Lake NAL assets continue to perform well above expectations with production 50% (1,200 boe/d) higher than forecasted at the time the NAL Combination was announced. We see significant additional optimization opportunities as well as follow-up drilling on the Ante Creek expansion lands and within the primary waterflooded pool.
HAMMERHEAD RESOURCES INC. Permit #56042 – Satellite to satellite – 1.93KM
Hammerhead Resources is a growth-oriented private company with its corporate headquarters in Calgary, Alberta and operations in the Alberta Deep Basin where it is developing multi-zone, light-oil rich plays.
The Montney is a top quartile North American play, with the Company’s holdings offsetting Seven Generations, Paramount, Shell, XTO, CNRL, RMP and Velvet.
Hammerhead Resources holds >200,000 contiguous acres of Montney rights (97% average W.I.) and is actively developing its land position in the heart of the Montney volatile oil window in the Gold Creek, Karr, and Simonette areas of NW Alberta.
Successful Hammerhead Resources well results are demonstrating the areal extent and repeatability of the play on the Company’s acreage.
Hammerhead Resources Gold Creek wells compete with the best wells in the basin – at a significantly lower capital cost.
The Lower Montney has the potential to add significant upside – early geological and petrophysical analysis are proving encouraging.
KARVE ENERGY INC. Permit #62579 – 2.34KM
VIKING OIL FOCUSED
This oil bearing formation continues to be expanded with advancements in horizontal drilling and completions technologies.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
With direct Viking experience, our team is building on recent success to enhance the opportunity from Karve’s land base in the Consort and Hamilton Lake areas.
