Canadian Natural’s primary heavy crude oil operations are centered on the Alberta – Saskatchewan border, near the city of Lloydminster. The Company’s extensive and dominant land base allows us to conduct large scale drilling and development programs while minimizing our capital cost requirements. Costs are further managed through owning and operating centralized treating and sand handling facilities, maximizing their utilization and using our size to achieve economies of scale. Our infrastructure includes fifteen crude oil processing facilities and eight salt caverns for solids disposal. 100% ownership of the ECHO sales pipeline allows us to deliver undiluted heavy crude oil into our blending facilities at Hardisty, Alberta.

In May 2017, Cenovus assumed ownership of ConocoPhillips’ conventional assets in Alberta and British Columbia.[5] Cenovus’s current conventional assets include the Deep Basin, a liquids-rich natural gas fairway located in northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia, and the Marten Hills heavy oil project. The Deep Basin asset comprises approximately 2.8 million net acres of land and produced more than 97,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day in 2019. Cenovus also holds a significant land position in the Marten Hills region for potential development.

KELT EXPLORATION LTD. Permit #61,069 – 4.9KM Satellite to gas processing plant

Kelt Exploration Ltd. is an oil and gas company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The company focuses on exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas resources, primarily in west central Alberta and northeastern British Columbia.

Kelt has a large inventory of future drilling locations on its remaining Montney and Charlie Lake land holdings at Wembley/Pipestone (Alberta) where the Company owns 107,155 net acres (167 sections) of Montney rights, at Oak/Flatrock (British Columbia) where the Company owns 203,661 net acres (318 sections) of Montney rights and in Alberta where the Company owns 74,720 net acres (117 sections) of Charlie Lake rights.

The Wembley/Pipestone wells will be put on-stream when the Tidewater Pipestone Sour Deep-Cut Gas Plant, that is currently under construction, commences operations.

Tidewater Pipestone Plant 

  • During the first quarter of 2019, Tidewater expanded its gas storage operations at Pipestone (the “Pipestone Gas Storage Facility”) and completed a 24km, 30-inch natural gas pipeline (“Pipestone Pipeline”) connecting the facility to both mainline gas systems, Alliance and TCPL. The Pipestone Pipeline allows for significant future optionality and egress at the Pipestone Gas Storage Facility and Pipestone Gas Plant.
  • The Pipestone Gas Storage Facility is fully contracted on a take-or-pay basis with investment-grade counterparties over an average six-year contract term. Continued capital improvements to the facility during 2019, along with the completed 30-inch pipeline, will significantly increase future contracting capacity at the storage facility.
