IPC CANADA LTD.- Permit #63,312- 2.3KM – Well to well – MEDICINE HAT

IPC’s oil and gas assets are located in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Suffield area oil and gas assets and the recently acquired Ferguson oil asset are high quality conventional assets located in southern Alberta. The Onion Lake, Mooney and Blackrod assets are heavy crude oil assets with conventional and steam assisted development methods in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Acquired by IPC early in 2018, the Suffield area assets are conventional oil and natural gas assets held over a large, contiguous land position of 800,000 net acres of shallow natural gas rights and 100,000 net acres of oil rights. Production and reserves from the assets come from conventional shallow oil and gas wells. These stable, low-decline producing fields have low production costs and significant future development potential from a combination of low risk development drilling, well stimulation and enhanced oil recovery opportunities.

TORXEN ENERGY LTD. -Permit #63,322- 4.52KM – ENCHANT – Well to satellite

Torxen is a private exploration and production company focused on the development and optimization of conventional oil and gas assets in Southern Alberta.

TOURMALINE OIL CORP.- #46,988- 2.59KM – KAKWA – Battery to pipeline

The Alberta Deep Basin is a multi-objective tight natural gas sand play area with up to 15 separate lower Cretaceous liquids-rich natural-gas-charged sand reservoirs. Tourmaline’s target exploration and production area is in that portion of the Alberta Deep Basin where the entire lower Cretaceous stratigraphic section is gas saturated with no mobile formation water. The primary vehicle for accessing the extensive reserves in these stacked sandstones is multi-stage fracture stimulation in both horizontal and vertical well-bores.
