BIRCHCLIFF ENERGY LTD..-Permit #51,793- 4.1KM-Pipeline to gas processing plant-Saddle Hills County
Birchcliff Energy (formerly investment shell Scout Capital) is an oil and gas exploration and production company that operates in Alberta, and has estimated proved and probable reserves of 46.5 million barrels of oil equivalent. It produces about 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Formed in early 2004, Birchcliff Energy acquired Scout Capital in a reverse merger and became publicly traded. The proceeds of its public offering were used to fund the purchase of a natural gas processing plant and gas-producing properties in the Peace River Arch area.
Birchcliff has a 100% working interest in its Pouce Coupe Gas Plant and two oil batteries, as well as various working interests in numerous other gas plants, oil batteries, compressors, facilities and infrastructure.
Pouce Coupe Gas Plant
Birchcliff’s 100% owned Pouce Coupe Gas Plant, which is currently licensed to process up to 340 MMcf/d of natural gas, is located in the heart of the Corporation’s Montney/Doig Resource Play. The strategically situated site for the Pouce Coupe Gas Plant enables the Corporation to control and operate all essential infrastructure from wellhead to sales point.
The low operating costs of the Pouce Coupe Gas Plant and related infrastructure give the Corporation a strong competitive advantage over others paying for third-party natural gas processing. The Pouce Coupe Gas Plant is a key component in positioning the Corporation as a low-cost finder and producer of natural gas on the Montney/Doig Resource Play.
In 2018, the Corporation completed the Phase VI expansion of the Pouce Coupe Gas Plant, which expanded processing capacity to 340 MMcf/d from 260 MMcf/d. The expansion was completed on schedule and on budget.
Montney Formation is a major shale gas and tight oil resource. … This estimate makes it one of the largest known gas resources in the world and equivalent to 145 years of Canada’s 2012 consumption. Gas is produced from the Montney Formation in both British Columbia and Alberta.
CENOVUS ENERGY INC.- #43,278 – 6.21KM – Pipeline to compressor station -O’Chiese
Cenovus’s conventional oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids business is one of our production areas. Our conventional assets include production and operations in the Deep Basin, a liquids-rich natural gas fairway located along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia.
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.
ENHANCE ENERGY INC. – Permit #61,114 – Battery to well – 1.51KM- Tees
Enhance Energy is an Alberta-based carbon management company. The Enhance leadership team has extensive experience in the planning and implementation of large-scale Carbon Capture and Utilization projects that permanently sequester CO2 emissions.
BONTERRA ENERGY CORP. – Permit #53,868 – 1.68KM – Pipeline to pipeline – Drayton Valley
Bonterra Energy Corp. is a high-yield, dividend paying oil and gas company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Bonterra has paid a monthly dividend (formerly a distribution) since inception and intends to pay approximately 55 to 70 percent of funds flow to investors.
The Company’s asset base consists of stable, producing properties across Western Canada with large amounts of remining oil still in place, a long reserve life and low risk, predictable returns. Bonterra’s proven track record of success is due to its experienced management team, conservative capital structure and sustainable pace of development.
Cardium
Bonterra’s development of its Cardium assets continues to evolve in order to maximize recoveries and minimize costs. Through disciplined execution, Bonterra has continued to control operating costs, general and administrative expenses and adjust capital levels required for drilling, completions and infrastructure in the context of the commodity price environment. By utilizing pad drilling from sites with existing infrastructure, achieving fewer drilling days per well, better efficiencies in the field and general service cost reductions, Bonterra has successfully grown reserves with attractive capital efficiencies. Currently, around 90 percent of Bonterra’s natural gas production is derived from the solution gas that is present within oil wells which will help reduce transportation curtailments associated with interruptible service, therefore decreasing restrictions on oil production.
Cardium Play has been one of the largest oil fields in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin with production history of almost six decades. … The areas with highest liquid content are Lochend and East Pembina, the highest initial production is typically encountered in Lochend, Willesden Green and Ferrier areas.
