Saturn Oil & Gas Inc.'s first Open Hole Multi-Lateral (OHML) Bakken well in Southeast Saskatchewan showcased impressive results, with initial production significantly exceeding expectations. The well, drilled with eight open hole, and unstimulated lateral legs, achieved an initial 30-day average production of approximately 233 barrels per day of light oil.
This performance, 49% above the company's expected production curves, demonstrates the effectiveness of OHML drilling. These wells have smaller surface footprints and require less water compared to conventional techniques, enhancing their economic viability. Following this success, Saturn has identified up to 100 OHML drilling locations in the area, suggesting a potential for significant expansion and development in this region
The dramatic decrease in U.S. benchmark natural gas prices, averaging $2.57 per MMBtu in 2023, was a result of a unique combination of factors. Record-high natural gas production, primarily in the Permian, Haynesville, and Appalachia regions, significantly outpaced growth in consumption, leading to this price drop.
Production levels also reached an all-time high of 104 billion cubic feet per day, 4% higher than the previous year. In contrast, demand only saw a 3% increase due to higher exports and a slight rise in natural gas used for electricity generation.
Mild winter temperatures, particularly in January and February, also played a role, leading to reduced consumption in the residential and commercial sectors and the lowest total U.S. natural gas consumption for these months in seven years
