Questerre Energy Corporation: Oil Battery and Natural Gas Compressor Station Commissioned at Vulcan
Questerre Energy Corporation and Stylus Energy Inc. are pleased to announce that construction and commissioning of the Vulcan central oil battery and gas compression facility is complete.
The gas compression facility provides flexibility to deliver gas to a second gas plant in the area and removes the pipeline capacity constraints on Vulcan gas production. It also provides flexibility to develop shallow gas zones in the Vulcan area and conserve solution gas from the companies’ adjacent oil pool. The facility utilization rate is dependant on a number of factors, including approval of a Good Production Practice application by the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, additional oil and gas gathering pipelines to be constructed in the fourth quarter of 2006, and additional successful drilling in the oil pool. The licence capacity of the oil battery is 1000 bbls per day and the licence capacity of the gas compression facility is 15 mmcf per day.
Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive Officer of Questerre, commented, “We are very pleased with the operator’s work at Vulcan to complete the central production facilities. The extra capacity will give us full flexibility to produce the Vulcan gas field for maximum financial benefit. At the same time we will be developing our oil discovery with drilling of additional identified locations.”
