Thermal oil sands. Views are my own.. Golden Bear football Alum. #BOMB
This is raw oil sands bitumen. It becomes pretty clear why you need steam (heat transfer) to reduce bitumen viscosity and produce to surface in the in situ space. #EFT
The good stuff!! A few bbls of oil out here, just strategizing a get to market plan.
$CVE.TO drilling their first Pelican Clearwater well. Couple additional wells licensed this month on the east side of the property. #EFT
Snooping around McMullen area & noticed $CVE getting active with 3 Clearwater pads planned; 2 wells licensed in Dec; legacy Husky property $CNQ licensed 12 wells for their McMullen / Martin Hills area asset which was purchased for $39.1MM in the 2024-03-06 AB crown land sale
$PSK.TO talked about recent performance of Duvernay in 2QCC: "step-change improvements in initial well productivity in the Duvernay oil window in the West Shale ...." That commentary reflects improvements over just the past couple years.. Imagine stepping into the Muskwa…
•Muskwa & early Duvernay w/ similar completions & lateral lengths performed comparably •Increased Duvernay productivity resulted from improved completions: closer stages & perf clusters & significantly fewer perfs (↑diff frac press) •Muskwa needs a modern completion design!
Good high-level overview on AI history in industry by CHOA board member Jimmy Jiang in the July CHOA journal. (link below) I am generously curious how #EFT folks have been using AI to date? I have had success with: - CC Transcript summary - python coding (scrapers, data…

**you've got Canada. 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day, btw 😃
We don’t need foreign oil—we’ve got Texas, Alaska, the Gulf, and the whole country. DRILL, BABY, DRILL. foxnews.com/politics/biden…
I propose we bring back ceremonial 'filling of the barrel' for successful wells. #EFT

Check Husky's success rate
Grizzly Oil Sands ULC is back from hibernation! Redrilling the pad and firing up the SAGD facility. Nice to see that 'Oil sands is back' #OilSpy


Just completed our new Duvernay well Downtown Calgary. Going to be a boomer.

To quote the boss, “let’s use what’s between our ears to better develop what’s beneath our feet”. When you develop a resource, the resource helps pay taxes, build schools, provide wealth to the nation. It’s a gift. Let’s not waste it.
The challenges facing Canada are not small, but we will meet them with focus and determination. That is how Canadians have built the best country in the world. That is how we will build it to be even better.
Increased land position - now a 64.5 net section block. 2 Muskwa or 3 Jean Marie wells from the same surface location can validate 61.5 sections of licences. Significant multi-zone potential with this contiguous block.
We recently acquired another 12.5 net sections of land at Rainbow Lake. Our total land position is a contiguous 64.5 net section block, with direct access to all-season roads and existing pipeline infrastructure. All lands include PNG rights to both the Jean Marie and Muskwa.
I am always in awe of the oil infrastructure in the greater Houston area. America sure knows how to build things. #EFT


I'm typically quiet on social media, but this Canadian election is too important. I'd like to share why I endorse and strongly encourage you to vote for the Conservatives Party of Canada and Pierre Poilievre. Especially to my friends outside of Alberta, I encourage you to…
BREAKING: Mark Carney's platform was written by Justin Trudeau and his team weeks before Carney became Liberal leader. The only “tweaks” Carney made were to increase inflationary spending even higher. Canada can't afford a 4th Liberal term of the same Liberals pushing higher…
We all need to collectively up our meme game.. Need to get back to the glory days of Mar 2020 #EFT
