We have the luxury of digging in to learn and share our understanding based on significant qualification and testing to back it up. We also get to learn how thermal operations work and can be improved, by seeing how different they are all approached. Interested in solvent flooding? 2km long SAGD? Join us and we will chase it. We also have conventional, waterflood, international projects in play.
