90% oil saturation & bitumen content by weigh
90% oil saturation & bitumen content by weighAlso just love the 1000 to 1500 bbl/day per well pair figure they spit out here.
Lets see now we have 15 wellpairs X 1500= 22,500 bbl/day POD#1 ! That was before we put in the longer wellpairs!
15 wellpairs X 1000= 15,000 bbl/day
Well, we know we have 10% operation already running at 1000 bbl/day with all wellpairs expected to head online by early Q1
Thats not very long to wait for the fruits of all of Connachers efforts.

Connacher believes the Middle McMurray Channel which comprises Pod One at Great Divide is a high
quality, relatively uncomplicated reservoir. The reservoir sands exhibit excellent porosities, very high
permeability, high oil saturation approximating 90 percent and bitumen content by weight approaching 16
percent, well above acceptable cutoffs. It is sufficiently thick and covers a large enough area to contain
significant oil-in place and recoverable oil, using available and established SAGD technology. An
updated independent resource evaluation and reserve report incorporating this data is presently in
preparation; it will be used to assist Connacher in its financing initiatives to raise the requisite capital to
bring this 25 year project onstream in late 2006.
In addition to the aforementioned technical data supporting Connacher’s decision to apply in July, 2005
for project approval, Connacher has also conducted reservoir simulation studies which support its
expectation of high per well productivity due to the excellent reservoir at Pod One. These results are
similar to actual reported well performance at the Jacos Hangingstone project, geographically the closest
to Great Divide. Per well productivity at Hangingstone has reached as high as 1,500 bbl/d and some
wells have yielded over 1,000 barrels of average daily crude oil production over a multi-year period, with
total recoveries in excess of one million barrels per well pair. Connacher also anticipates reasonable and
acceptable steam/oil ratios will occur at Great Divide Pod One, given the quality of the reservoir.
Connacher is fortunate in that the Middle McMurray sands which constitute Pod One’s reservoir, are
deposited on a flat paleo-basement, which should contribute to optimum recoveries as most of the
bitumen within the sand reservoir will be producible by placing the horizontal producing well bore at or
near the base of the reservoir section. This is also expected to be feasible as no bottom water has been
encountered, nor is there evidence of discernible basement rubble, which could otherwise reduce effective
SAGD pay thicknesses by having to place the well pair higher in the section.
