Canadian heavy oil production is centered in the greater Lloyminster region covering both sides of the Alberta-Saskatchewan border where companies enjoy year round access. The oil is extracted from multiple-zone formations at shallow drill depth of 400-700 meters. To date, only 6.5% has been recovered from the 32 billion barrels of initial petroleum in place.

Oil produced from the greater Lloydminster fields falls in the heavy oil category as it has API gravity between 10° and 22°. It’s called heavy because it does not flow easily; it’s a gooey type of crude. The API gravity measures how heavy or light … Continue Reading

We are looking for Canadian dividend paying intermediate oil and gas companies producing between 10,000 boed and 100,000 boed. Canada produces more than 3 million barrels of oil per day of which the majority is exported to the US. Thanks to the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin’s favourable geological characteristics, Canada is uniquely positioned to provide our world energy responsibly and reliably since oil and gas will continue to play an important role in the global energy supply mix.

The Canadian oil and gas sector is well positioned to return substantial profits to investors as oil and gas production grows year … Continue Reading

Canadian Oil Stocks: Top 2 Slave Point Oil Juniors

The Slave Point formation is a layer of sedimentary rock composed primarily of oil bearing carbonate minerals: mostly limestone and dolostone having low permeability (the capacity of a rock or sediment to move water or other fluids through its pore space.)

In the Greater Red Earth area of north central Alberta, the Slave Point formation is a proven oil producer since the 1960’s when the first vertical wells struck oil. In addition to producing light, sweet oil of 35°-40° API, the formation produces low rates of water production and low solution gas volumes. The industry estimates 1 billion barrels of … Continue Reading

Canadian Oil Stocks: Top Viking Oil Juniors

The Viking oil play is an established light oil conventional play which is only second to the Cardium formation when it comes to original oil in place (OOIP). This oil bearing formation has already been delineated with vertical drilling in WC Saskatchewan as it has been known since its discovery in 1957. With the advent of horizontal drilling and advanced completion techniques (multistage fraccing) it is now possible to tap oil trapped in thick shaly intervals that was once deemed uneconomic to exploit. Most of the land is locked up by major producers but a few juniors managed to assemble … Continue Reading

Canadian Oil Stocks: Top 5 Cardium Oil Juniors

The Cardium formation has billions of barrels of recoverable oil and is considered a repeatable, low risk light oil play. It has its origins in the early 1950’s with the discovery of the giant Pembina field in west central Alberta. Since 2008, more than 1,400 horizontal oil wells have been drilled or licensed into this formation. Cardium oil production is expected to surpass the 80,000 bbl/d of oil in 2012 thanks to the advent of horizontal drilling and completion technology. This article will provide an overview on 5 Canadian oil stocks that are well positioned in Alberta’s Cardium resource play. … Continue Reading
