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 May 2, 2022 report date )

Petroleum pipelines transport oil, oil products and natural gas. In addition to these two 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.

ARC RESOURCES LTD.-Permit #47307-Battery to battery-KAKWA

ARC Resources Ltd. is the largest pure-play Montney producer and one of Canada’s largest dividendpaying energy companies, featuring low-cost operations and leading ESG performance. ARC’s investment-grade credit profile is supported by commodity and geographic diversity and robust risk management practices around all aspects of the business. ARC’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ARX.

Properties in the Smoky River Region include Karr, Kakwa all located southwest of Grande Prairie, Alberta. The primary reservoirs being developed are the Dunvegan, Cardium, and Montney resource play.

Kakwa region is located in the lower interval of the Triassic Montney formation and future development drilling can be sustained for years. This area is considered to have low break-even commodity prices and a favourable balance of natural gas and liquids relative to other North American tight, liquids-rich natural gas plays. The size of this inventory has the potential to expand over time as exploration validates the development potential of other geologic formations. Wells in the Kakwa region have exhibited high production rates of natural gas, condensate and other NGLs. This region is served year-round by a vibrant oil and natural gas service sector in the city of Grande Prairie.


WESTBRICK ENERGY LTD.- Permit#55346 – Battery to pipeline – O’Chiese

Westbrick is a private oil and gas company formed to utilize proven resource technologies on conventional plays in Canada. The Company has captured an inventory of high quality, low risk liquids-rich gas drilling opportunities and is looking for further opportunities to expand its opportunity base. The Company is led by CEO Ken McCagherty, CFO Lloyd Heine, VP Exploration Tom Collins, VP Engineering Moe Mangat and VP Land James O’Connor. Board members include Bruce Chernoff, David Rain, Doug Kay (Chairman) and Jim Riddell.

The Brazeau River area is located over 180 kilometers southwest of Edmonton, Alberta, from Township 41-44 and Range 12-13 west of the fifth meridian.

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.


CNRL – Permit #29181 – Inj./Disposal Plant to satellite – LEMING

Primrose and Wolf Lake (PAW) Project. The PAW Project consists of thermal in situ oil sands developments which include the Wolf Lake CPF and field production facilities (Townships 65 and 66, Ranges 5 and 6, W4M); the Primrose South and North Steam areas (Townships 67 and 68, Ranges 4 and 5, W4M, which includes the Primrose South and North steam plants and field production facilities) and the Primrose East area (Townships 67 and 68, Ranges 2 and 3, W4M), which includes the Primrose East steam plant, the Burnt Lake Pilot Plant and field production facilities (all located entirely within the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range).

Clearwater formation at Canadian Natural’s Wolf Lake and Primrose (North, South, and East) fields. In the Cold Lake deposits, our Primrose operations currently produce from the Clearwater reservoir using the cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) process. CSS uses a single well bore to inject and produce steam. This technology has been historically applied to reservoirs that have barriers to vertical flow. The production peaks and troughs at Primrose are a reflection of the cyclic steam process – the peaks are associated with production cycles from newer, less mature wells and the troughs are associated with production cycles from the more mature areas in the field.
