A modest Grosmont formation well pair could have an immense impact on Alberta’'s reserves
The C2 well pair located in the Saleski project in northeastern Alberta is as unpretentious as it gets. Completed in early 2012, the wells are approximately 400 metres deep, and the horizontal section in the reservoir is 450 metres long. The C2 well entered production in the first quarter of 2012 and has now gone through three cycles of injection and production. The peak oil production exceeded 1,200 barrels per day (bpd).
