Overview Phase B 3 SA pairs, drilled from underground, started in 1993. Phase 2 surface-drilled SA pairs started in mid 1996. Added new facilities to handle the increased production. Phase E 1 surface-drilled SA pair started in late 1999.
Overview (cont d) Overview Produced Water Recycle (PWR) Plant Started up in 2000. Increased recycle rates have ultimately reduced available boiler feed water for steam generation. OVAP Vapex Pilot Started up in September 2003 (reported separately). Phases F & Each is a 750m long surface-drilled SA pair, started-up in mid-november 2003. Additional surface facilities installed.
Overview 2004 Summary Phase F and wells commenced SA production in March. Production from Phases B, and E was shut-in in August, though steam injection continued in an effort to increase steam chamber pressure. Limited production from November through February 2005. Abandoned 24 observation and 10 water disposal wells over Phases A and C. One cased well over each phase was retained for possible future use.

Phase B Performance Production was shut-in in June 2004, as expected, due to insufficient steam available to maintain chamber pressure through 2003 and into 2004. Total days on production in 2004 was 136. Average producing day bitumen rate in 2004 was 77 m 3 /d at a 30% oil cut. Calendar day oil was 28.9 m 3 /d. Total 2004 days on steam injection was 176 at an average producing day rate of 70 T/d and a calendar day rate of 31.4 T/d. Steam shut-in in September. Overall 2004 SOR was 1.09.
Phase B Performance (cont d) (cont d) No methane injection in 2004. Steam chamber pressure fell to approximately 1,300 kpaa in August, but increased to about 1,400 kpaa by year end. Periodic steam injection could be used to maintain chamber pressure if desired.

Phase Performance Overall Phase performance suffered from decreased steam chamber pressure due to insufficient steam available to maintain chamber pressure through 2003 and into 2004. 1 and 2 production was shut-in in August, steam injection continued in an effort to increase chamber pressure. Limited production from November through to February 2005. Phase calendar day oil production in 2004 was 42.1 m 3 /d and steam injection was 250 T/d, for an overall SOR of 5.94.
Phase Performance (cont d) (cont d) Steam chamber pressure fell to about 1,250 kpaa in August, but increased to approximately 1,450 kpaa by year-end. Phase cumulative recovery of 51.7% is based on reserves calculated for two 750m long well pairs. Actual well lengths for 1I = 186m and 1P = 293m. Well lengths for 2I = 748m and 2P = 740m. Oil recovery from Phase equals that of Phase B when compared on a total effective production well length basis.

Phase E Performance Initially drilled proximal to Phase B in order to observe new chamber development next to a mature steam chamber. Overall recovery is expected to be negatively impacted. Wells started up in 1999 with SAP. Phase E and B steam chambers believed to be in communication since early 2001. Steam chamber pressure negatively impacted by the drop in Phase B pressures.
Phase E Performance (cont d) Production shut-in in August but steam injection continued through the year. Limited production resumed in November and continued through February 2005. 2004 calendar day oil was 33.4 m 3 /d and calendar day steam injection was 187 T/d. Steam chamber pressure fell to a low of approximately 1,300 kpaa in September but increased to 1,400 kpaa by year-end.

Facilities Continued improvements in produced water recycle (PWR) rates through Warm Caustic Softener process continued through 2004. All produced water is processed through PWR for silica removal and added filtration. Average water recycle rate in 2004 was 32% (up from 29% in 2003) based on AEUB formula: Recycle % = (Steam Injected Raw Water) Produced Water x 100
(cont d) Facilities (cont d) Theoretical maximum with existing equipment is about 60%. Recycle limited due to: Inability to recycle blowdown water (high TS); High TS fouling of SAC resin in boiler feed water conditioning. Increased produced water recycle volumes have caused a reduction in overall available boiler feed water due to incompatibility of recycled water and raw water when combined upstream at softeners. Consequently, about 40% of steam injection capacity was lost in 2003 and early 2004.
Facilities (cont d) A new raw water softener was installed and operational by April 2004. Mixing of re-cycled produced water with raw water downstream of softening has solved the softening problem. Raw water use increased in 2004 due to: Addition of dedicated raw water filter; Lower produced water volume available for re-use; Maximum steam generation demanded for ongoing operations, re-pressurization and OVAP.
