RE:RE:RE:Completes USD 300 Million Bond Placement Blackrod, Alberta
Regulatory approval has been received for an 80,000 boepd SAGD (steam-assisted-gravity-drainage) oil sands project at Blackrod. The delineated resource contains 1 billion boe of best estimate contingent resource.
For the last 6 years, a SAGD pilot at Blackrod has been operated, which has validated both commercial production rates and a corresponding steam oil ratio. Further pilot well testing and project optimisation studies are planned through 2020 to increase productivity, reduce capital costs and strengthen overall value.
