CSC Benchmarking Resource Plays
- 1. CALGARY STAMPEDE CONFERENCE JULY 11, 2011 BENCHMARKING RESOURCE PLAYS Implications for Exploitation and Development Mike Seifert, P.Geol. Canadian Discovery Ltd.
- 2. AGENDA ! Introduc)on: ! What is a Resource Play? ! Bench Marking Process ! Western Canada Resource Plays (overview) ! Montney: Sunrise, Glacier, Dawson ! Cardium: Rat Cr. vs Carrot Cr. ! Summary ! Conclusions
- 3. WHAT IS A RESOURCE PLAY? “A 'play' is a family of pools and/or prospects that share a common history of hydrocarbon genera8on, migra8on, reservoir development and trap configura8on. A RESOURCE PLAY is a special category of play which implies the use, or poten?al use, of advanced drilling and/or comple?on technology to make it economic. Although specific wells may be excep8ons, generally speaking a RESOURCE PLAY is deemed to be historically uneconomic on a regional basis without the use of advanced technology.” Ed Fogg, Canadian Discovery Ltd.

- 20. MONTNEY Stages & Completed Length
- 22. MONTNEY Frac Spacing vs CompleKon Date & Rate Stages
- 24. MONTNEY ProducKon vs Stages
- 26. CASED vs OPEN HOLE COMPLETION CASED COMPLETION Comple)on Cost per Stage $250K to $670K 6 Mo. Cal Gas Produc)on 1,150 mcf/d to 3,750 mcf/d OPEN HOLE COMPLETIONS Comple)on Cost per Stage $225K to $1,135K 6 Mo. Cal Gas Produc)on 1,670 mcf/d to 2,185 mcf/d
- 27. MONTNEY Actual Stages vs Stage AMempted
- 28. CASED HOLE COMPLETION 75% ParKal Frac
- 29. OPEN HOLE COMPLETION 60% ParKal Frac
- 30. MONTNEY: AVERAGE PROPPANT PER STAGE
- 31. MONTNEY: Proppant per Stage PROPPANT PER STAGE VS IP GAS PROPPANT PER STAGE VS 6 MO GAS
- 32. MONTNEY: IP vs 6 mo cal gas
- 34. MONTNEY: PROPPANT AND STAGE TRENDS 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
- 35. MONTNEY Longer Lengths / More Stages / Shorter Frac Intervals Comple)on Costs declining over )me Produc)on/Stage decreases with increased stages More Proppant does not equal more produc)on Cased Hole Comple)ons appear to have lower costs, beJer produc)on rates and lower opera)onal failures
