Greater Sierra

At our Greater Sierra resource play in northeast British Columbia, we are focused on the continued development of the Jean Marie geological formation and on the successful completion of the commercial pilot program in the Horn River Basin.

Using multi-leg, horizontal drilling technology we have developed approximately 30 percent of our two million net acres in the Jean Marie formation.

At the end of 2011, we had approximately 288,000 net acres in the Devonian shale formation of the Horn River. The Horn River formation shale's (Muskwa, Otter Park and Evie) in our focus area are up to 500 feet thick. As of December 31, 2011 these shales have been evaluated with 112 gross wells, 70 of which have been placed on long-term production (1 vertical and 69 horizontal).

In 2011 we drilled approximately 34 net wells in our Greater Sierra resource play.
