ARTIS EXPLORATION LTD. Permit #61087 total 2.9KM Well to satellite

ARTIS EXPLORATION LTD. IS A PRIVATELY HELD COMPANY EXPLORING FOR SCALABLE RESOURCE OPPORTUNITIES IN WESTERN CANADA.   Primary an oil producer in the Duvernay shale play in the TWINING & HUXLEY field.

“Artis has established a large and attractive acreage position in the Alberta East Shale Basin, where we see many compelling opportunities for future growth and development,” said David B. Krieger, Managing Director, Warburg Pincus. 

Duvernay zone within the defined geographic area around Fox Creek/Kaybob South, we can quickly see that Chevron Canada Limited (Chevron) is the largest player. The ownership structure of this area is quite different from that of the southern area of the Duvernay play which is centered more around Red Deer/Lacombe.  The top players in the Fox Creek are Chevron, Shell Canada Limited (Shell) (these assets are now owned by Crescent Point Energy) and ExxonMobil Canada Ltd (Exxon) versus Vesta Energy Ltd (Vesta), Artis Exploration Ltd (Artis) and Baytex Energy Corp (Baytex), so we can see that the large, multinational E&P companies have really dominated the Fox Creek Duvernay play.

Duvernay Shale natural gas formation located in Alberta harbor 9.6 billion bbl of liquid byproducts and premium light oil. Duvernay Shale is expected to have more marketable oil resource (3.4 billion barrels) than the Bakken Formation in Saskatchewan (1.4 billion barrels) and Montney Formation in Alberta and B.C. (1.1 billion barrels).

WHITECAP RESOURCES INC. Permit#62591- Well to Satellite – 2.36KM

Northwest Alberta and British Columbia

In the first quarter, we anticipate drilling a total of 10 (7.0 net) oil wells in this business unit including 6 (3.5 net) Cardium oil development wells in the Wapiti area, 3 (2.5 net) Charlie Lake horizontal oil wells in our Peace River Arch region and 1 (1.0 net) Dunvegan horizontal oil well. In addition, we will be participating in a non-operated (50% working interest) Montney completion at Karr and tying in our operated (65% working interest) 13-1 well which was successfully completed with an optimized stimulation design in the fourth quarter of 2020.

SPARTAN DELTA CORP. Permit #43392 & #49059 – 5.5KM Total

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.

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.

INPLAY OIL CORP. Permit #62600 – Well to Satellite 1.2KM

InPlay Oil Corp. is a growth-oriented light oil development and production company based in Calgary, Alberta.  InPlay’s activity is focused on large oil in place pools with low recovery factors, low declines, and long life reserves primarily targeting the Cardium Formation in Alberta. InPlay has a strong balance sheet allowing it to weather commodity volatility and develop its extensive inventory of horizontal drilling locations.
