Additional production
Bitumen production at Leismer averaged 16,986 bbl/day in the second quarter, roughly unchanged from the previous quarter.
The company says production has increased in July following the tiein of new well pairs that were placed into production in late-June. Another five well pairs are under construction and should begin steaming by the end of this year. The wells are expected to produce in excess of 5,000 bbl/day next year. The company also says it is expanding its NCG program across older well pads at Leismer.
