PSAC 2015 Well Cost Study – Upcoming Summer Costs – published April 30, 2015 1
Introduction
The semi-annual PSAC Well Cost Study has been produced by the Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) since
1981. N.L. Fisher Supervision & Engineering Ltd. is the official supplier of all well drilling and completion data estimates
for the Study. PSAC would also like to acknowledge Weatherford Completion Systems for providing the downhole
assembly schematics for each well in the Study.
Drilling and completion well costs are being provided in the 2015 Well Cost Study for a list of 51 wells. This selection of
wells is a reflection of current well types along with previously drilled wells which are left in the study for historical
tracking purposes. This accounts for recent operator interests in developmental and exploratory activity, as well as
horizontal, coil tubing, SAGD and natural gas from coal (NGC) drilling activity.
The wells listed in this study reflect wells drilled in western Canada. Each well has been sorted by PSAC area. A summary
table listing all of the “typical wells”, as well as their location, well status, well type and depth is contained on page 4. Some
E
of the wells are not included in this year’s study due to inactivity in the area. A PSAC area map is provided on page 5.
Objective
PL
The Well Cost Study is a popular tool used by oil and gas company exploration, drilling and completions personnel for
multiple purposes, some of which include:
• Scoping out typical drilling cost estimates and drilling times in new areas

PSAC 2015 Well Cost Study – Upcoming Summer Costs – published April 30, 2015 2
Methodology
Typical Well
Each typical well is named after a known field or major centre in the general vicinity. Well depths, pool names and
approximate locations are also supplied for terms of reference when proposing drilling and completion parameters.
Due to the multiplicity of variables associated with drilling and completion operations, the typical well cost is an
approximation of current prices, based on the experience of N.L. Fisher Supervision & Engineering.
Assumptions
• The estimates were constructed assuming summer drilling operations and includes pricing obtained from
discussions with various service providers.
E
Detailed Cost Estimates
Detailed estimates were prepared based on current pricing in the industry and actual experience in the 51 locations.
Terminology has been adjusted in a few instances to more closely describe costs incurred. Discounts in areas of pad
PL
drilling or large shallow gas drilling can vary and should be treated as such.
At the time of writing, prices of various services are fluctuating. Considering that charges vary from supplier to supplier,
the estimates in this document provide the most up-to-date estimate of prices.
Factors that may influence well costs may include, but are not limited to:

Geology
Production is predominantly gas (sour), with varying levels of gas liquids. The principal zones are the Rundle Group of the Mississippian and
Cretaceous Cardium and Viking sands.
Area Highlights
Area AB1 encompasses the eastern slopes and foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. Wells drilled here are typically vertical and
E
some of the deepest in western Canada. These wells are technically challenging, and pose both safety and environmental regulatory
compliance issues. Wellsites are often remote from towns and service and supply centres. The cumulative result is that on a dollar-per-
metre basis, this is the generally most expensive area to drill in western Canada.
