VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Nov. 28, 2016) – Canada Energy Partners Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CE) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a major operator (“Disposer”) in northeast British Columbia to dispose of produced water.
The agreement is for a one year term. The Disposer is responsible for delivery of the water to the Company’s disposal facility. Disposal is on a “best efforts” basis with no penalty for failure to dispose. Disposal operations are expected to begin in January 2017.
The Company believes that this commercial arrangement will generate net revenues in the next year of $700,000 to $1,900,000 depending on disposal volumes, operating costs, and well performance.
China Exploration Effort
The Company has yet to secure a farm-in/joint venture in China. Significant contacts have been made. The Company intends to test the jetcav technology in the U.S. and then continue its efforts in China.
Peace River Abandonment
The Company has removed the gas plant and has plugged all of its wells on the Peace River CBM Project except for the water disposal well. Reclamation of the surface locations are approximately 80% completed. The Company has recouped approximately $350,000 from its abandonment cash deposit with the British Columbia Oil & Gas Commission (“OGC”) and expects to netback an additional $400,000 of cash from the OGC over the next 9 months.
Cavitation Technology Update
Construction of the first jetcav tool should be complete by the end of November 2016. The Company is negotiating on an initial test location on a coalbed methane property in the U.S.
