Some preliminary data is in for production out of British Columbia in December, and while we would usually wait for the other provinces to report before putting out our TOP WELL REPORT, we felt it was worth highlighting two wells as they are some of the most prolific we have seen in some time.
On the oil/condensate side, ConocoPhillips’ Montney well at Inga that made the Top Well Report last month actually produced at an even higher rate in December. We went back through all of the data from 2023, and this well here appears to be the highest producing oil/condensate well of any that we’ve seen in that time. In fact, ConocoPhillips had the top 3 condensate wells in BC in December, all over 1,000 bbl/d of condensate, which we’ll no doubt elaborate on once the full version of December’s report comes out.

On the natural gas side, Ovintiv had the highest producing natural gas well that we have seen in over a year as well, with a well from Sunrise in northeast BC that produced over a BCF in the month of December. The daily rate was almost 33 mmcf/d in December after just being placed on production in November.

Stay tuned to the BOE Report as December’s full TOP WELL REPORT will be out as soon as all of the data has been reported.
**TOP WELL REPORTS generally filter out oil sands/thermal wells, and only consider onshore Canadian production
