Connacher Turns on Taps at Nine New Wells
Connacher Oil and Gas Limited reported an operational update for the third quarter 2014.
Based on field estimates, Connacher’s Great Divide production for Q3 2014 averaged 14,100 bbl/d.
Production has increased in each quarter of 2014 and Q3 2014 was 20 per cent higher than the prior year’s third quarter (Q3 2013 – 11,788 bbl/d).
Five of nine new infill wells were brought on production in Q3 2014, as a result, Pod One production for the month of September, based on field estimates, averaged above 9,000 bbl/d for the first time. Currently the facility inlet at Pod One is at its maximum emulsion handling capacity. During the Q2 2015 turnaround at Pod One, the inlet emulsion capacity will be increased and the mini-steam expansion project tie-ins will be completed. A turnaround is also planned at Algar in Q2 2015, which will include the tie-ins for the SAGD+®process commercial project.
