The September production data from
Petro Ninja is now available, so we can see which companies had the best producing wells for the month. Below is a table for the best producing oil wells and the best producing natural gas wells. We use calendar day production so these are real volumes produced over the month.
Note that you can click on all of the UWI’s which will take you straight to a Petro Ninja map to see each well individually.
Alternatively, you can click the hyperlinks here to view the
Top 15 Liquids Wells and
Top 15 Natural Gas Wells all on one map.
On the oil + condensate side:
- Baytex had the best producing oil well for the month of September, with 32,333 barrels of oil produced over the month for an average daily rate of 1,078 b/d. Baytex also had the 4th best well, with both wells coming from the company’s Clearwater play near the Peavine area. Baytex continues to show some of the highest initial production rates of all of the Clearwater producers.
- ARC Resources had 7 of the top 15 producing liquids wells, with all of the wells coming from the Karr/Kakwa condensate-rich Montney acreage that it acquired from Seven Generations. These wells all came on production in June and continue to produce at very high rates.
- Longshore Resources had a top 15 oil well, and the only Charlie Lake well to crack the top 15. This well was from the Bilawchuk field which is near Tourmaline’s Mulligan/Bonanza Charlie Lake development.
- Strathcona also cracked the top 15 with a very strong Montney well from the Karr/Kakwa area close by to ARC’s development.
- TAQA had two of the top 15 liquids wells coming from Pouce Coupe South near Birchcliff’s acreage.
- Spartan Delta had the 5th best liquids well from its Elmworth Montney area.
- Canadian Natural Resources produced a top 15 liquids well from the Fireweed area, making it the only well from B.C. to crack the list this month.

On the natural gas side:
- Ovintiv continues to dominate our list of top producing natural gas wells, as the company had the 13 best producing natural gas wells in Western Canada for the month of September. These wells all came from NE BC, with the majority of them from Sunrise. Many of them were featured in our August Top Well Report and continue to produce at very high rates, while some of them are newer wells.
- 14 of the top 15 wells are Montney wells (not a surprise), with the only non Montney well a Falher well from Canadian Natural Resources.
- Shell’s Montney well at Groundbirch rounded out the top 15 natural gas wells for the month.
