One of the more difficult sources of data to get involve mineral rights being transferred from company to company. While the AER provides excellent data for licence transfers, mineral rights transfers require a little more work. Luckily, BOE Intel fixes that. Our mineral rights transfer tool shows those transfers as they happen, although in some cases there is a lag between an agreement between companies and when the mineral rights are actually transferred. It is also the case that sometimes [Read more]
A sneak peek into Tamarack Valley’s Q2 production – BOE Intel
On BOE Intel, we can now see gross licensed production for all of our public and private companies with a single click, with public well data sourced from Petro Ninja. Keep in mind that gross licensed production only accounts for wells licensed to the company, and assumes 100% working interest. Because of these reasons, it'll never match up perfectly to corporate production, but will often be close and will definitely show trends, long before companies report quarterly production [Read more]
Headwater Exploration achieves record gross licensed production in April – BOE Intel
Thanks to the excellent amount of public data out there, we no longer have to wait until quarterly reporting season to find out how production is trending for producers in Western Canada. And thanks to BOE Intel, we can view production data on a monthly basis with a single click. Take Headwater Exploration for example. Using Petro Ninja data on our BOE Intel platform, we can see April production on a gross licensed basis of 17,882 BOE/d, which would represent a record high for the company. [Read more]

PETRONAS Energy Canada – drilling, production and activity update – BOE Intel
With LNG Canada continuing to progress towards becoming Canada's first major LNG project, we thought it would be worthwhile to provide an update on the drilling activity of some of the project's partners. Last month, we provided an update on Shell Canada, and today we will take a look at what PETRONAS Energy Canada has been up to using public data tools BOE Intel and Petro Ninja. Recall that PETRONAS owns a 25% stake in LNG Canada. PETRONAS Energy Canada's main producing asset was acquired [Read more]

Woodland Development Corp. revealed as the buyer of Vermilion’s southeast Saskatchewan assets – BOE Intel

Vermilion indicated that proceeds received were about $225 MM, with associated light oil production of about 5,500 boe/d. At the time, no mention was made as to who the buyer of the assets was. Thanks to our mineral rights transfer tool at BOE Intel, we can officially see the buyer of record and the associated land position as the mineral rights transfer has gone through [Read more]

A&D overview – See the top acquirors over the last 3 months – 2,693 wells, 362 facilities and 661 pipelines acquired
Many A&D transactions occur without many people being aware of them. Often they are small, maybe a few well licenses being transferred or some pipelines/facilities, and those can go unnoticed as a result. While small, sometimes these transactions can give us clues into what operators are thinking in a certain area, whether they might be looking to move in or move out. Our AER Transfers page has given readers a taste of the amount of licences being transferred on a daily basis, and through [Read more]
Shell Canada – A&D review and Montney drilling update
Given the increasing focus on LNG projects in Canada, we thought it would be worthwhile to provide an activity update on Shell Canada using public data tools BOE Intel and Petro Ninja. The parent company Royal Dutch Shell is the largest stakeholder in the LNG Canada project (40%). Shell Canada's main Montney asset is at Groundbirch in northeast BC, adjacent to Ovintiv's Sunrise development. The company also has Montney acreage south of Grande Prairie at Elmworth.
