Description

Encana’s IETP Round 3 project, Deep Basin Development and Measurement of Marginal Zones, involved a 10-well pilot to evaluate the production performance of marginal zones completed using limited entry completion techniques. To increase the confidence in the statistical analysis of marginal zones’ productive performance, Encana has expanded the project to include 10 additional wells. This project is intended to evaluate the commercial viability of zones previously considered marginal or uneconomic to develop. The project was a participant in the Innovative Energy Technology Program.

Description

Albertans do not receive their fair share from energy development. The royalty rates and formulas have not kept pace with changes in the resource base and world energy markets. Albertans own the resource. The onus is on their government to re-balance the royalty and tax system so that a fair share is collected. This must be done within an equitable and flexible administrative framework that maintains Alberta's competitive edge for energy investment.
