Key Canadian Growth Plays

Surge offers exposure to two of the top five conventional oil growth plays in Canada: the Sparky & SE Saskatchewan. Each of these plays provides exceptional economics and a depth of drilling inventory.

Greater Sawn

Greater Sawn

Concentrated light oil asset with conventional Slave Point reefs.

Valhalla

Valhalla

Stacked pay multi-zone potential. Light oil (~40°API) with extensive area infrastructure and access to multiple egress options = attractive operating netbacks

Sparky

Sparky

Light/medium crude oil production with compelling returns. Low on-stream costs with extensive drilling and waterflood inventory provides excellent long term sustainable growth potential.

Shaunavon

Shaunavon

Producing low decline, medium gravity crude oil with high operating netbacks.

SE Sask

SE Sask

Highly focused, operated asset base with excellent light oil operating netbacks. Low-cost wells with short payouts. Potential for continued area consolidation.

Sparky

A One-of-a-Kind Position

Surge holds a dominant land position and has drilled >55% of all horizontal multi-frac wells in the light/medium window of the Sparky.

  • Large, well established oil producing formation in Western Canada
  • Increasing market focus with operators implementing multi-leg horizontal in areas of higher oil viscosity; being compared to the Clearwater
  • Per well economics with quick payouts and excellent rates
  • Conventional sandstones support top tier capital efficiencies
  • Shallow depth (700-900m)
  • Low geological risk due to 3D seismic and thousands of vertical penetrations

SE Saskatchewan

Leveraging Past Success

Surge’s operational track record of success in SE Saskatchewan make this an exciting growth area.

  • Organic growth opportunities plus strategic acquisitions or tuck-in consolidation
  • Cost-efficient drilling
  • Extremely quick turnaround from spud to on production
  • High operating netback light oil production and reserves
  • Assets have low liabilities; minimal inactive ARO
  • Year-round access
