Resource Play Overview Studies

Resource Plays Spell Opportunity

Spurred by new technologies and propelled by a modern day land

rush, Resource Plays are rapidly transforming the face of Western

Canada’s oil and gas industry. Canadian Discovery’s Resource

Play Overview Studies are designed to keep you up-to-date and

technically informed on the evolution of major resource plays across

Western Canada. We have completed six overview studies including

the Cardium, Viking, Lower Shaunavon, Pekisko, Exshaw ‘Alberta

Bakken’ and Torquay Resource Plays.

Activity Overview – Flags and provides relevant,

illustrated commentary for significant production, land

sale activity, notable wells, acquisitions and divestitures

Statistics/Tables/Graphs – Compare and rank resource play

performance. Relative statistics (detailed analysis for feature

plays) to include:

� Drilling Statistics: Number of wells, depth, length

� Production: Total and average IP, present production (PP)

� Reserves / Resources: Hydrocarbons-in-place

� Play Metrics: Cost

� Extent of Current Drilling

Play-by-Play Comparative Review Map

Canadian Discovery has identified 36 resource plays to date:

17 oil resource plays (including Lower Shaunavon, Cardium,

Torquay/Sanish, Bakken, Viking, Birdbear, Spearfish/Amaranth)

and 19 gas resource plays (including Muskwa [Horn

River], Montney, Spirit River/Notikewin, Wilrich, Duvernay,

Glauconitic, Bluesky/Gething/Cadomin, Rock Creek, Doig,

Nordegg, Nikanassin).

The Play-by-Play Comparative Review Map provides research

intelligence and comparative metrics for all 36 identified

resource plays across Western Canada, including:

Map-Based Play Delineation – Map drilling activity, and the

extent and evolution of individual resource plays

What are the Resource Play Overview StudiesFor each overview study, our geosciences team delves into

the geotechnical nuances and metrics that drive that play’s

success. While each overview study is unique—as influenced

by play maturity, extent of play being reviewed and availability

of results—areas of investigation include:

1. Geology and Geophysics – Maps, cross-sections,

annotated logs, graphs, illustrations and a written report:

� Geological setting

� Stratigraphic / Reservoir model

� Play boundaries

� Geophysics where applicable

� Reserves / Resource evaluation

2. Production History, Operators, Land and Trends –

Graphs, tables, statistics, illustrations and a written report:

� Production history and trends

� Operator success and comparisons

� Land ownership and price trends

� Acquisition chronology and metrics

3. Completions / Frac Review – Where possible, a

completions / frac report will accompany each feature play,

including:

� Drilling costs: drilling, completion, abandonment, fracs

� Frac type and size

� Fluid and proppant

� Contractor information

� Breakdown pressures

� Stress data

� Isolation technology

Our six overview studies completed to-date:

� Cardium – Garrington / Pembina / Pine Creek

� Viking – Redwater / Dodsland

� Lower Shaunavon – Leitchville / Dollard / Rapdan

� Pekisko – Princess / Judy Creek

� Exshaw “Alberta Bakken” Southern Alberta /

Peace River / NE British Columbia

� Torquay – SE Sask. / SW Man. (Daly / Sinclair)
