About petroCUBE rule

petroCUBE doesn’t just generate data, it offers you valuable statistics that will give you an up-to-date understanding of an area.

The following facts are just a sample of the instant insight you’ll gain with petroCUBE:

  • The Upper Devonian in the Central Foothills is the play with the highest PMean gas reserve per well over all time at over 55 BCF/well
  • Over the last five years, the Upper Triassic in the BC Foothills is the play with the highest PMean gas reserve per well at over 14 BCF/well
  • Over the last five years, the area with the highest PMean gas reserve per well is the Central Foothills at over 8 BCF/well
  • Over 20,000 gas wells were drilled and placed on production in the Upper Colorado in Southern Alberta in the last five years, with a chance of success of 92%
  • There are thirteen gas plays in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin where the PMean gas reserves per well have stayed the same or increased over the past five years compared to all time… this means better wells now than at the start of the play
  • Given equal weighting to resource size, initial production, risked F & D costs and risked net present value, the "Top Ten" gas plays in the WCSB over the last five years are:
    Fort St. John   Middle Devonian
    BC Foothills   Upper Triassic
    Central Foothills   Upper Devonian
    Northeast BC   Middle Devonian
    West Central Alberta   Upper Devonian
    Central Foothills   Mississippian
    Deep Basin   Mississippian
    Sothern Foothills   Mississippian
    Peace River   Upper Devonian
    Southern Alberta   Upper Devonian
