Beaverhill Lake Sandstone Oil PlayPeace River Arch – Northwestern Alberta

� Large Reserves & High Productivity Potential

� By-Passed Pay Zones

A Significant Under-Explored Light Oil Play

The Devonian section along the southern margin of the Peace River Arch has

historically been explored for reservoirs ranging from Granite Wash to Wabamun.

Galleon Energy and others have recently obtained astonishing light oil rates of

thousands of boe/d at Puskwaskau from under-explored sands in the Beaverhill

Lake Group, where most exploration has focused on Slave Point carbonate

reefs. These sands are interbedded in the overlying Waterways argillaceous

limestone and shale section, and have been systematically explored only since

the first significant light oil discovery at Girouxville in 1998. The potential of these

conventional stratigraphic reservoirs has been long overlooked, but is now the

object of increasing industry attention, motivated by oil scarcity and associated

record prices.

The Beaverhill Lake Sandstone study includes detailed correlation sections, regional

and local mapping, pool analysis, bypassed pay appraisal, depositional framework

and detailed stratigraphic assessments leading to environments of deposition and

reservoir prediction. The depositional model was developed by Graham Davies

of GDGC. Graham has wide experience with both sandstone and carbonate

reservoir facies in Canada and internationally. Detailed core descriptions are an

integral part of the study. The geological model has been further enhanced by

seismic data. The Klesk/Puskwa template, supplied by SilverTip Surveys Ltd.,

has survey lines across Galleon Energy’s new discovery at Puskwa. The Girouxville

template survey, supplied by Breaker Energy Ltd., provides additional insights

in the Girouxville area.

Formation of the Beaverhill Lake Sand pools at Girouxville started with deposition of clastic sediments into an area where deeper water carbonate sediments were the norm. This illustration depicts what the area might have looked like, but it also suggests the enormous

potential for other prospects around the Peace River Arch.
