This Petro Ninja – Enlighten Geoscience Well of the Week describes a possible sleeping giant before modern geological thinking and technology opened it up. This formation has some intriguing and highly productive wells drilled into singularly unique and isolated reservoirs. It ranges from over 300m thickness over parts of the Peace River Arch thinning to its subcrop. This formation, at first glance, seems to be petrophysically monotonous and of poor quality. It was just a

When I started on this Petro Ninja – Enlighten Geoscience series cataloguing the wealth of discoveries related to the Peace River Arch, I expected that a few formations would be underwhelming. But can we not learn from failures as much or even more than from our success? Switzer et al. (1994) I present as an example, the Winterburn Group. My low expectations were born out by a rather jejune quartet of Blueridge wells in the Worsley area with a P50 forecast production of a l

As the producing well distribution map shows, the first three Petro Ninja – Enlighten Geoscience Wells of the Week to focus on plays related to the Peace River Arch (Granite Wash, Gilwood and Slave Point) were discovered at a significant distance from the Arch itself. The Leduc was the first play to be anchored firmly to the flank of the Arch. This week we look at two early discoveries in this play.
