New Well Update: Licenses and November Production
January 23, 2015
Licenses: 2014 Review and 2015 Outlook
17,115 wells were licensed in 2014, up by 10% from 15,512
in 2013. For 2015, we expect a decrease in licensing activity
following the recent collapse in crude oil and natural
gas prices. In the first week of 2015 licenses are down
40% to ~230 wells compared to ~397 one year ago. The
licensing activity to-date is heavily weighted towards oil
sands development activities. The top licensees thus far
in 2015 include: Cenovus, Bounty, Crescent Point, Value
Creation, Rockeast, ConocoPhillips, Tourmaline, Teine,
Twin Butte, and Encana. The top licensed formations
include the McMurray, the Woodbend Group, the Viking,
the Beaverhill Lake Group, the Dina, the Cummings,
the Montney, the Cardium, the Shaunavon, and the
Glauconitic.

the dominant zone as Seven Generations, Delphi, XTO,

and Contact all brought on significant condensate wells
in the Alberta Deep Basin. Of note, Encana brought on
a Lower Montney well at Swan that produced ~100 B/d
of condensate, with this being an important liquids-rich
data point from a predominately dry gas area. Of the oil
wells, Legacy brought on five of the top 20 wells, including
four Midale wells at Pinto with rates between 300 B/d
and 500 B/d. Crew and Trilogy both brought on notable
Montney oil wells between their respective oil fields at
Tower and Kaybob.
The top natural gas, crude oil, and condensate-producing
wells brought on-stream between October and November
are highlighted in the accompanying charts (total of ~1,959
wells). The rankings are based on the top rates from the
most recent data available in geoSCOUT.
