“ The oil extracted at Figure Lake in the southern Clearwater trend is slightly heavier than in other regions such as Marten Hills and Nipisi. Taking this into consideration, we are looking to new technologies to enhance recovery of the large oil in place at Figure Lake beyond water flooding. While there has certainly been lots to observe from other operators having some nice success with water floods in the Clearwater in Marten Hills-Nipisi, we believe that the heavier oil presents an opportunity to experiment with some technologies that add a bit of heat or solvent and may result in higher recovery factors than we might expect from waterflood alone. To that end, we have established an experimental pad with a well dedicated to testing different solvents and carrier fluids. Through these experiments, we aim to gather valuable insights in order to implement a pilot project by next year,” she enlightens.

On a more personal note, Sue recounts her journey in the oil and gas industry, clarifying her role in Rubellite’ s success.“ Raised in Calgary, Canada, I am a geological engineer by training. When I graduated from Queen’ s University, I came back to Calgary and started my career at Shell Canada. After approximately five years, I moved on to Paramount Resources, the company Perpetual was originally spun out from, under the name Paramount Energy Trust in 2002. Paramount Energy Trust lived some turbulent times with regulation and legislation changes but successfully consolidated shallow gas assets in line with
its business mandate until 2008, when changes in Canadian legislation concerning trusts prompted us to shift back to being a corporation and changes in drilling technology drastically altered natural gas
