close to 100 multi-lateral wells currently in operation . There we conducted a pilot test in 2024 for downspacing by increasing the number of legs in our well design , to open up more reservoir per well to optimize our primary development performance and its economic value . Following up the positive outcomes from last year ’ s pilot test , we are implementing this downspace well design across the entire field as we forecast increased production per well and ultimately expect some increased recovery of the oil reserves from the reservoir . Transitioning from a standard 50-meter well spacing design to our new 33-meter spacing within the same reservoir catchment area is part of our ongoing efforts .
“ 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 .
