The 17 Well Pairs

posted on Dec 16, 2008 05:24AM

Does anyone know whether the drilling of the 17 well pairs will be continued this winter while construction at the Algar site is halted? The only time that they can drill these well pairs is now during the winter when the ground is frozen and they can get the drilling rig in. I understand that Connacher is awaiting government permission to clear the well pads and begin drilling. However, if the drilling is put off for six months, they won't be able to drill these well pairs until next December which is 12 months from now. Or is it possible to drill these well pairs at anytime during the year now that the access road has been completed and once the well pads are cleared?

Does anyone have any specific information on the continued drilling of these well pairs at Algar or are they on hold as well?

Cheers; Scott
