PROJECT IN HAND
Peace River Arch Project, Alberta
The Worsley area is located in the Peace River Arch area of Alberta and is renowned for its large wells (oil, gas liquids and gas). These large wells have long reserve lives and can produce for up to 15 to 20 years.
Through employment of new 3D seismic modeling and interpretation, the Joint Venture Partnership operator has been able to identify 4 highly prospective targets. The first target is now producing.
Each well typically operates 8-14 prospective oil and gas hydrocarbon zones, which results in a high chance of success in each well.

Exploration Highlights
-
High chance of success exploration program area, given the stacked prospective zones characteristics of the exploration program.
-
The stacked prospective zone package contains the Montney and Nordegg zones, which may become economic and technically feasible resource plays.
-
Low operating costs structure area: $7 per barrel for oil and a $1.05 per mcf gas, high net backs - greater than $60 per barrel, $2.35 per mcf of gas produced, low finding and development costs - $7 per barrel and $0.50 per mcf gas.
