Pipeline Project Details

IRON CREEK GAS CO-OP LTD. Permit#62,851 total 5.6KM Meter reg. station to regulator station

Iron Creek Gas Co-op is a natural gas utility company servicing rural parts of east central Alberta since 1974

SURGE ENERGY INC. Permit#55,127 – 3.19KM Satellite to satellite

Surge Energy Inc. is an oil focused oil and gas company with operations in Alberta, Manitoba and North Dakota. Surge’s experienced and proven management team is committed to creating shareholder value and maintains an aggressive business plan to grow the company via acquisition, the identification and capture of new and emerging resource plays, and by exploiting its significant undeveloped land base.

Mannville Group of the Lloydminster heavy oil area (Alberta and Saskatchewan).The Sparky Formation contains up to 60 percent of the oil in place. The Lloydminster heavy oil region is centered around the City of Lloydminster on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border. This region’s production is predominantly heavy oil in the 12º to 16º API. Zones targeted include the Colony, Upper McLaren, Sparky, General Petroleum, Rex and Waseca at depths of 500 to 700 metres.

Going forward, Surge views multi-leg lateral development as complimentary to its existing single-leg multi-frac drilling program. The addition of the multi-leg design will upgrade a meaningful portion of the Company’s existing Sparky core area drilling inventory, which currently consists of over 425 internally estimated locations.

The Sparky Formation is part of the Upper Mannville Group in East Central Alberta. In the Provost area, the Sparky Formation was deposited in a deltaic environment with 2-4m thick regional reservoir sands that are often capped by coal or carbonaceous shales.

Provost Sparky (“Eyehill”) low decline medium oil under waterflood. The Provost medium oil region is located along the eastern edge of Alberta between Township 36-43 and Range 1-6 W4M.

CARDINAL ENERGY LTD. Permit #45,655  – 1.97KM Satellite to battery

Cardinal Energy Ltd. is an oil focused Canadian company built to provide investors with sustainable yield and growth.  Management is focused on a disciplined growth plan, both financially and operationally, while providing a sustainable dividend to its Shareholders.

Located roughly between Alberta’s Nipisi Lake and an area called Marten Hills, the drilling rights going for sale fall within the Clearwater shale and sandstone formation, with pockets of oil 600 to 700 metres below the ground

The Upper Cretaceous Dunvegan Formation fits that bill in the Deep Basin of west-central Alberta. Deep Basin assets provide short-cycle development opportunities with high return potential.  The Elmworth gas field is located within the Deep basin near Grande Prairie, Alberta (Fig. 1). The Deep basin covers about 26,000 sq miles and appears to contain an enormous amount of gas in different-quality rocks. Masters1 has estimated the Deep basin could contain more than 400 Tcf of gas, recoverable at various levels of price and technology.

Long Run Exploration Ltd. 03-26-074-01W6 –  Puskwaskau Sour Gas Plant

Long Run Exploration (formerly Guide Exploration) is looking to cover a lot of miles along the oil and gas trail. The company is engaged in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, with drilling operations focused across more than 1 million acres in Western Canada, primarily in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. 

The midsized oil and gas company’s largest producing properties are East Montney and Eaglesham, with other operations concentrated along the Peace River Arch. In 2010 it sold a portion of its Puskwa asset in Alberta to pay down debt. In 2012 Guide Exploration acquired and merged with WestFire Energy to form Long Run Exploration.

The company snapped up ExAlta Energy and Adamant Energy in 2008, acquisitions that add significant drilling prospects to Galleon’s inventory. The deals are expected to complement the company’s plans to maintain or modestly increase production through 2009, with capital earmarked for lower-risk development projects.

Peace River Area

Long Run has a dominant land position in the multi-zone Peace River Arch area of Northern Alberta. Long Run’s primary drilling target is the Triassic age Montney resource play targeting light oil and liquids-rich natural gas. Long Run’s development plans in the Peace River area focus primarily on our Normandville and Girouxville light oil properties.

The Montney oil fairway at Normandville and Girouxville continues to be a primary growth driver, generating strong, reliable, repeatable results.

Cardinal Energy Ltd. 16-25-017-11W4

West Lake Energy Corp. 01-32-052-06W4

West Lake Energy Corp. is a privately owned, intermediate producer with core assets located in the Lloydminster and Provost areas. West Lake’s strategy is to grow its production base in both
its heavy and medium areas through organic drilling complemented with focused acquisitions.

West Lake has applied advanced drilling and completion techniques, which has allowed its wells to achieve compelling economic returns at sustained low oil prices. West Lake continues to execute on a material multi-year drilling program.

The Provost medium oil region is located along the eastern edge of Alberta between Township 36-43 and Range 1-6 W4M. The main producing areas in this region are Cadogan and Rosenheim, which target the Cummings and Dina zones at a depth of approximately 600 to 700 metres, resulting in medium gravity oil with a density of approximately 20 ºAPI. Sparky and Lithic channels are also targeted in the Sounding Lake, Rosenheim and Provost areas, with densities of approximately 22-28 ºAPI.

The Lloydminster heavy oil region is centered around the City of Lloydminster on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border. This region’s production is predominantly heavy oil in the 12º to 16º API. Zones targeted include the Colony, Upper McLaren, Sparky, General Petroleum, Rex and Waseca at depths of 500 to 700 metres.

The remainder of the Company’s production is gas-weighted and located in West Central Alberta and the Peace River Arch.
