The top conventional well in Saskatchewan in June belonged to Vermilion Energy, and that well has been a real winner for several months now.
That’s according to a top ten list compiled by BlincSoftware, which put together this graphic from data provided by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources. Much more detailed information can be found at BlincSoftware’s Canadian Petroleum Registry.
In June, the top well produced at an average 488 barrels per day, plus. And it’s been the top well since March.
That well also has, by far, the highest gas production of all the wells in the top 100, at 109 boepd. The next highest associated gas producer in the top 100 came in at 28 boepd.
According to the Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas, that top well is 102/05-09-001-03W2/00 (click on the hyperlink for details) The well is roughly three miles northwest of the Port of Northgate, the US border crossing port on Highway 9. It’s within spitting distance of the US border. And Vermillion was at the top of the charts in March and May with a well at that same site. In March, daily production was 541 barrels per day, and in May, it hit 601 barrels per day.

The top 10 had one Vermilion Energy Inc. well, one from CNRL, two from Strathcona Resources Ltd., One from Surge Energy Inc,, one from Axial Exploration Ltd., three from Whitecap Resources Ltd. and one from Tundra Oil & Gas.
Whereas previous months have seen a relatively close split between eastern and western sides of the province, June saw only 3 wells west of the 3rd meridian, on the western side of Saskatchewan. The remaining seven wells were on the eastern side.
In the top 100 conventional wells, Whitecap had by far the most, with 40 of the top 100 wells. CNRL came in second, with 14 of the top 100 wells. Crescent Point Energy Corp. was third, with 11 of the top 100 wells.
