Impacts and Mitigations of in Situ Bitumen Production from Alberta Oil Sands
Impacts and Mitigations of In Situ Bitumen Production from Alberta Oil Sands Neil Edmunds, P.Eng. V.P. Enhanced Oil Recovery Laricina Energy Ltd. Calgary, Alberta Submission to the XXIst World Energy Congress Montréal 2010 - 1 - Introduction: In Situ is the Future of Oil Sands The currently recognized recoverable resource in Alberta’s oil sands is 174 billion barrels, second largest in the world. Of this, about 150 billion bbls, or 85%, is too deep to mine and must be recovered by in situ methods, i.e. from drill holes. This estimate does not include any contributions from the Grosmont carbonate platform, or other reservoirs that are now at the early stages of development. Considering these additions, together with foreseeable technological advances, the ultimate resource potential is probably some 50% higher, perhaps 315 billion bbls. Commercial in situ bitumen recovery was made possible in the 1980's and '90s by the development in Alberta, of the Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process. SAGD employs surface facilities very similar to steamflooding technology developed in California in the ’50’s and 60’s, but differs significantly in terms of the well count, geometry and reservoir flow. Conventional steamflooding employs vertical wells and is based on the idea of pushing the oil from one well to another. SAGD uses closely spaced pairs of horizontal wells, and effectively creates a melt cavity in the reservoir, from which mobilized bitumen can be collected at the bottom well. Figure 1. Schematic of a SAGD Well Pair (courtesy Cenovus) Economically and environmentally, SAGD is a major advance compared to California-style steam processes: it uses about 30% less steam (hence water and emissions) for the same oil recovery; it recovers more of the oil in place; and its surface impact is modest. -
Public Notice Laricina Energy Ltd. Germain Project Expansion Proposed Terms of Reference for Environmental Impact Assessment
Public Notice Laricina Energy Ltd. Germain Project Expansion Proposed Terms of Reference for Environmental Impact Assessment Laricina is proposing the Germain Project Expansion to expand the Germain Project by 150,000 gross barrels per day (bbls/d) of bitumen production to 155,000 bbls/d. The primary zone of interest at Germain is the Grand Rapids Formation. Laricina has Grand Rapids oil sands rights in 63 (gross) sections which offer significant resource potential, containing an estimated 2.3 billion barrels of bitumen in place within the lease area. Current and future innovations of in situ technology will be utilized to develop Laricina’s oil sands assets at Germain. Laricina’s Energy’s total land base at Germain is 71 sections within Townships 83-85, Ranges 21-23 west of the 4th Meridian and is located within the west Athabasca Oil Sands region, approximately 46 km northeast of the community of Wabasca-Desmarais. The Director responsible for Environmental Assessment has directed that an Environmental Impact Assessment Report be prepared for the Germain Project Expansion. Laricina has prepared a proposed Terms of Reference for this Environmental Impact Assessment, and through this public notice, invites the public to review this document.

Financial Post GEOFFREY MORGAN September 4, 2020
Financial Post GEOFFREY MORGAN September 4, 2020 Endangered species: Canadian small oil and gas companies under pressure to merge or die (Financial Post) – Banks and creditors are running out of patience with a now six-year downturn in the Canadian oil industry. Small- and mid-sized oil and gas companies in Canada are going the way of the dodo bird. “The 20,000-barrel-per-day producer in Western Canada is an endangered species. We don’t see that changing for some time,” said Adam Waterous, CEO of the Waterous Energy Fund, which has been deploying private equity capital in recent years to buy up small oil companies, including the $750-million purchase of Pengrowth Energy Corp. in Nov. 2019. If the small oil producer is an endangered species, Waterous is the trophy hunter. In six transactions he has built a company now called Strathcona Resources Ltd. into one of the largest private-equity owned producers in North America with production of more than 60,000 bpd. Now, Strathcona is eyeing more underpriced assets in the Canadian oilpatch. Investors and analysts expect a mergers and acquisition wave as the oil price depression since last March and COVID-19 were just the latest in a series of crises that has squeezed the life out of many companies. It has come to a stage where banks and creditors are, in some cases, running out of patience with a now six-year downturn in the Canadian oil industry. Exasperated by paltry returns, they are cutting off funding in some cases and pushing companies to either restructure or sell out to larger companies. -
