ADVANTAGE ENERGY LTD. Permit #62636 total 10KM gas processing plant to battery

Advantage Energy Ltd. is a growth-oriented corporation focused entirely on development of its significant position in the Montney natural gas and liquids resource play. The Corporation’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol AAV with its head office in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Advantage’s Montney assets are located from approximately 4 – 80km northwest of the city of Grande Prairie, Alberta. Advantage’s land holdings consist of 210 net sections (134,400 acres) of liquids-rich Montney lands at Glacier, Valhalla, Progress and Pipestone/Wembley. Management estimates a future drilling inventory of >1,400 horizontal well locations. Total estimated capital expenditures over the life of the project could exceed $10 billion with associated reserves and production growth. Production has grown to 45,000 boe/d.

All the areas have potential for liquids-rich and multi-layer development. Since 2008, production has grown to approximately 300 mmcfe/d (50,000 boe/d) and 2P reserves have increased to 3.2 Tcfe (532 million Boe) at December 31, 2020. Upper, Middle & Lower Montney wells generate strong half-cycle rates of return at $2.50/mcf Cdn AECO prices and $55 US/bbl WTI pricing, and have low break-even prices.

These reservoirs are characterized by thick oil columns with significant oil in place. This area utilizes pad-based horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracturing, including extended reach horizontals that exhibit a lower decline profile than in many areas due to the significant oil in place. The Region is comprised of large-scale opportunities and significant inventory setting up Smoky River to provide material future organic growth.
