Pulse Oil has signed agreements to own 100% working interest in the Nisku-D Pool and the Nisku-E Pool acreages, strengthening its position in the Bigoray assets in Alberta, Canada.
Together, the acreages were estimated to contain 26 million barrels of petroleum initially in place (PIIP), of which around 9.3 million barrels of oil equivalent have been recovered to date by employing secondary water-flood recovery techniques.
The company is now planning to implement a miscible flood project to achieve potential recovery of up to an additional 12 million barrels of estimated remaining recoverable reserves.
Pulse Oil CEO Garth Johnson said: “With this transaction and the acquisition of our partner’s interest at Bigoray, we will have increased reserves and taken control of the Bigoray Assets.
“We are excited about the upside of implementing an enhanced oil recovery miscible flood scheme (EOR) similar to the dozens of analogue pools surrounding the Bigoray Nisku-D and E-Pools.
“With control of these assets, we are positioned to add substantial value to our reserves, without having to drill a well or assume unacceptable amounts of risk often associated with projects in our industry.
