How Does Hydrodynamics Affect the Clearwater Oil Play?

Is the Clearwater going to be the next Big Oil Play in the WCSB? Early entrants recognized a missed pay opportunity in the cyclic shoreline/deltaic deposits. Because the petrophysical response in these Clearwater lithic sandstones is “dirty and damp”, they were largely ignored by industry. The prize is substantial though. In the core of the Marten Hills development, pay ranges from  5  to  25m,  with  20—30% effective porosity and  40—50%  Sw. Canadian Discovery (CDL) conservatively estimates  OIP  of  23  mmbo/section providing a resource up to  5 billion bbls. The medium/heavy, viscous oil produces by cold flow into unstimulated horizontal wellbores and has moderate declines.

CDL is proposing a multi-client Clearwater Hydrodynamics and Reservoir Study to advance the understanding, reduce the risk and provide perspective on new exploration fairways in this rapidly emerging play. The study  will  enable  existing  operators,  new  entrants  and  investors  to  understand the following:

• Extent of the play fairways and remaining opportunities
• Analyze oil quality variations using CDL’s proprietary geothermics dataset
• Oil migration pathways and predict areas of greater oil degradation vs preservation
• Predict stratigraphic trapping configurations by integrating sequence stratigraphy and hydrodynamics
• Drilling, production and economics analytics will provide a view of best practices and economics within existing development areas as analogues for evaluating new prospective trends
