HIGHLIGHTS
- CSRI's 100% working interest horizontal well at c-81-H/94-B-1, that was successfully drilled and cased in July 2014, will, subject to financing, be hydraulically fracture stimulated and tied-in for production in 2015. Repairs and modifications at the jointly owned water pipeline facility and high industry utilization of fracture stimulating equipment have contributed to this new schedule.
- In addition to extending the term on six sections of land a minimum of five years, the c-81-H/94-B-1 well earned an additional 1,850 acres of land and increased CSRI's 100% working interest to 16,960 acres or 26.5 sections. CSRI's Montney acreage position at Farrell Creek is now 26,507 acres or 41.4 net sections.
- A third party well, approximately 3.3 kilometers east of CSRI's 100% working interest lands was flow tested up casing at an announced steady rate of 7.9 MMcf/d at a pressure of 1,250 psi. This well further highlights the Montney potential in the area of CSRI's eastern block lands.
- On October 21, 2014, the government of British Columbia announced the terms of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) tax. Response from industry has been positive especially from the companies most advanced in their final investment decision schedule.
- TransCanada Pipelines Limited has submitted the re-routing plan for their proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline. The new route follows the current Spectra pipeline right-away going through CSRI lands.
