Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. and Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., has a 90% working interest in 51 sections on seven oil sands leases, an 80% working interest in 5 sections on one oil sands lease, and a 50% working interest in an additional 12 sections on two oil sands leases in the Peace River oil sands area of Alberta, all of these sections are contiguous. These nine oil sands leases cover 43,015 gross acres (17,408 gross hectares) of land. Of the 68 contiguous sections on nine oil sands leases we are the operator on 56 sections on seven leases where we have working interest ranging from 80% to 90%.
Deep
Well's management believes that the Sawn Lake Heavy Oil
Project is at the same pre-growth stage experienced by
other heavy oil companies prior to a major period of
growth.
Other operators
targeting the deeper Slave Point Formation have
previously drilled much of the land. Because of the
earlier extensive exploration for light oil, Deep Well
is able to benefit from data collected by others
pertaining to the drilling of more than seventy-five
wells that penetrated and partially delineated the heart
of the Bluesky Formation heavy oil reservoir.
