Sagd project, description	The first SAGD well pair, for the SAGD Project, was drilled to a vertical depth of approximately 650 meters with a horizontal length of 780 meters each. Steam injection commenced in May 2014 and production started in September of 2014. Production from this one SAGD well pair increased significantly over the 18-month period it produced. Over January and February of 2016 production from the SAGD Project averaged 615 bopd, on a 100% basis (154 bopd net to the Company), and achieved an instantaneous Steam Oil Ratio (“ISOR”) efficiency of 2.1 from one SAGD well pair, demonstrating the productive capability of our Sawn Lake reservoir. The ISOR is reflective of the amount of steam needed to produce one barrel of oil. The lower the ISOR the lower the production costs and emissions per barrel of oil produced. In early May of 2016, an amended application was submitted to the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”) for a commercial expansion of the existing SAGD Project facility site and received regulatory approval in December 2017. This expansion application sought approval to expand the existing SAGD Project facility site to 3,200 bopd (100% basis). The Company anticipates that only five SAGD well pairs will need to be operating to achieve this production level. The Company anticipates that the commercial expansion to 3,200 bopd (100% basis) would include the reactivation of the existing demonstration project SAGD facility and existing SAGD well pair, the drilling of an additional four wellpairs and expansion of the existing SAGD facility to generate the additional necessary steam. As 2021 and 2022 proceeds, the operator of the SAGD Project should be consulting with its joint venture partners regarding development potential and alternatives for the SAGD Project.
