Encana behind Alberta land sale record

Encana Corp. took part in Alberta's record land sale to target a new gas opportunity potentially as liquids-rich as the hottest current play in the U.S., executive vice-president Mike Graham said Monday.

The continent's second largest producer of natural gas participated in the $842-million rights sale on June 1, Graham admitted, not revealing how much Encana spent or how much land it bought up...

“As far as I can see, there are sizable companies targeting the Nordegg and the Banff, and those are the unconventional oil targets and there’s potential that someone is buying this for the Duvernay shale,” Gill said.

GSY maksoi korkeimman hinnan Bakken-Exshaw-resurssin sisälle mahtuvista maapaketeista, joka oli noin $1,400 per eekkeri T11-R25:ssa sijaitsevasta paketista. Scott Land & Lease maksoi myös aika kovan hinnan T10-R26:ssa ainosta tarjolla olleesta mineraalioikeuspaketista: noin 1,300 dollaria per eekkeri. Muut hieman pohjoisemmassa olevat syvien oikeuksien paketit menivät selvästi halvemmilla hinnoilla: $400-$900 per eekkeri.

Oikeudet GSY:n Ante Creek-maiden läheisyydessä läntisessä Keski-Albertassa myytiinkin sitten pääasiassa huomattavasti korkeammilla hinnoilla, mikä on ymmärrettävää sillä tuolla on useita päällekkäisiä potentiaalisia vyöhykkeitä(Montney, Nordegg, Duvernay), joista osassa geologinen riski on varsin pieni.

Argosy-mietteitä: Tuota Etelä-Albertan maiden hintatasoa voi varmaankin pitää melko positiivisena merkkinä. Kuten tuossa yhdessä aiemmassa postauksessa olevassa kartasta näkyy varsin pieni määrä alueen mineraalioikeuksista on enää vapailla markkinoilla ja ison yhtenäisen maa-blokin hankkiminen Bakken-Exshaw-resurssin ympäristöstä on käytännössä mahdotonta.
En tiedä missä vaiheessa yhtiön ensimmäinen horisontaali on, mutta tuo maakauppa on saattanut pidätellä Argosyn tiedottamista kaivon edistyksestä ja tuloksista.

Resurssien kartoitusta

Sonde Resources eli entinen Canadian Superior(Inferior olisi ollut osuvampi nimi, sillä yhtiö oli muistaakseni lähellä konkurssia noin vuosi sitten) on löytynyt tuoreeseen presentaatioon kartan ALberta uusista epätavanomaisista resursseista. Tuo Exshaw tuolla pohjoisessa on minulle kysymysmerkki, sillä ei ole vielä tullut vastaan yhtään yhtiötä, joka kyseistä muodostelmaa tuolla kehittäisi. B.C:ssä Quicksilver on ilmoittanut poraavansa horisontaalin tämän vuoden aikana, mutta Horn River on kaukana tuosta kartalle merkitystä alueesta.
Alempi kartta on Macquarien lokakuisesta julkaisusta. Normandvillen Exshaw-näytteen perusteella muodostelma saattaisi olla öljyinen ja tuotettavissa tuolla(TOC on yli 2%, savea ei ole liikaa, karbonaattia/kvartsia on yli 30%(liittyy muistaakseni murrettavuuteen))

"Other Shale/Tight Oil Plays Still In Their Infancy"

Artikkeli:

While there's growing industry interest around some emerging shale/tight oil plays in Alberta, companies involved in the early-phase exploration of them have offered little in the way of publicly-available information and data to date.

Aside from the Alberta Bakken/Exshaw, the Devonian Muskwa/Duvernay shales in northwest Alberta's Deep Basin, the Jurassic Nordegg shales in the Peace River area of Alberta and the Cretaceous Second White Specks in the Deep Basin are also in play.

"Given virtually no long-term horizontal production history and very early geochemical, petrophysical, and mineralogical data, we believe it is too early to comment on which shale oil play will end up at the top of the heap," said Macquarie Equities Research analyst Ray Kwanin a recent report.

"...while thefirst Muskwa horizontal by CCRL produced at a peak rate of 100 bbls per day on a calendar daybasis. So far, there have been no horizontals drilled in the oil window of the Duvernay," he said.

Shale development in the Rainbow area had been relatively non-existent until late September 2009 when CCRL drilled a horizontal well at 02-30-109-08W6 targeting "what we believe is Muskwa shale oil," Kwan said.

"While still on confidential status, the well was producing on a calendar day basis at a peak rate of approximately 100 bbls per day (37-38°API). On top of this, a producer(s), under the guise of several land brokers, managed to purchase over 250 net sections through Crown land sales since 2010," he added.

"In our view, the leading contender is EOG Resources, which recently came out of hiding by licensing a horizontal Muskwa well this summer (T107-R09W6). EOG is arguably the most knowledgeable and astute producer in identifying shale oil plays in North America."

Duvernay eh?

Celtic Provides Exploration Update on Kaybob Duvernay and Fir Montney Activity

Kaybob Devonian Duvernay

Celtic, as operator, has drilled and completed its first exploration horizontal well at Kaybob South targeting the Devonian Duvernay shale formation. The Company pooled eight sections of 100% interest lands with two other industry partners, ultimately taking a one third interest in 27 gross sections.

The well, which is located at 00/15-33-060-20W5, was drilled and cased over 42 days at a cost of $4.0 million. The horizontal lateral was 1,787 metres, which was 500 metres longer than originally planned, allowing the addition of two frac stages making the total planned frac stages to 13 and leaving a 175 metre interval, which could be fractured by perforating.

During the completion of the well, six stages were fractured over a time interval of 10 days. Each stage was fractured with approximately 100 tonnes of sand and 1,500 cubic metres of slick water. While attempting to fracture the seventh stage, it is believed that a rupture in the casing occurred at the heal portion of the horizontal leg preventing the fracture of the remaining stages. It was decided to flow test the well with the six stimulated stages while determining the feasibility of fracturing the remaining stages. Tubing and recorders were run and the well has flowed on test starting September 11th. Prior to the flow test, the well flowed on clean-up for a total of 140 hours.

After three days on test, the well is currently producing natural gas at a rate of 2.1 MMCF per day and 56° API condensate. The gas is liquids rich and is expected to yield total liquids of approximately 75 barrels per MMCF of raw gas including free condensate.

After completing the flow test, the well will be shut-in, allowing for build-up. Bottom hole pressure is expected to be approximately 50 MPa. Although the completion operations were suspended part way through the process, it is estimated that the well could have been completed with a 13-stage multi frac for approximately $3.0 million, without any operational difficulties. As a result, total drilling and completion costs would be approximately $7.0 million.

The Company is encouraged with the results from the first horizontal well and anticipates good economics with expected gas rates from a horizontal well with a complete 13-stage fracture. The high liquids content provides enhanced economics in the current environment where oil fetches premium pricing over natural gas...

Kaivon tuotanto on kustannuksiin nähden todella huono ja en kyllä ymmärrä miten tuon perusteella yhtiö voi olla "rohkaistunut". Alkutuotannon pitäisi olla vähintään 3-4 kertainen, jotta tuo voisi olla kaupallinen. Ehkä johto näkee poraus ja viimeistely tekniikassa parannettavaa, joilla kaivon saa tuottamaan selvästi paremmin. Ehkä.

Celticin johto ei tähän mennessä ole tehnyt positiivista vaikutusta eikä tämä kyllä muuta tilannetta parempaan suuntaan. Geologialle ei mahda mitään, mutta pitäisi kyllä myöntää se että Duvernay ei vaikuta tuolla alueella kovin lupaavalta. Kaivossa mukana myös ainakin Yoho Resources.
