Nature of the Application
Intrepid Energy Corporation (Intrepid) has applied pursuant to Section 2.020 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations for licences to drill three natural gas wells from surface locations in Legal Subdivisions (LSDs) 13 of Section 18, Township 36, Range 1, West of the 5th Meridian, 8-18-36-1W5M and 5-18-36-1W5M. The maximum hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) concentration would be 0.00 moles per kilomole (0.0 per cent). The purpose of the wells would be to obtain natural gas production from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation.
Intrepid has applied in accordance with Section 7.001 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations for approval to construct and operate three single well gas batteries with compression in LSDs 13-18-36-1W5M, LSD 8-18-36-1W5M and LSD 5-18-36-1W5M. Each battery would consist of a 69-kilowatt gas compressor, a separator package, and a 27-barrel produced water tank. The purpose of the batteries would be to separate production from the proposed wells identified above.
Intrepid has applied in accordance with Part 4 of the Pipeline Act for approval to construct and operate four pipelines for the purpose of transporting natural gas from LSD 13-18-36-1W5M to a pipeline tie-in point at LSD 12-13-36-2W5M; from LSD 13-18-36-1W5M to a pipeline tie-in point at 16-18-36-1W5M; from LSD 8-18-36-1W5M to a pipeline tie-in point at LSD 16-18-36-1W5M: and from LSD 5-18-36-1W5M to a pipeline tie-in point at LSD 1-13-18-36-1W5M. The proposed pipelines would be about 2.16 km, 1.06 km, 0.59 km and 0.47 km in length, respectively. The proposed pipelines would have a maximum outside diameter of 88.9 mm and would transport natural gas with a maximum H2S concentration of 0.0 moles per kilomole (0.0 per cent).
The proposed development would be located about 12 kilometres northwest of Innisfail.
