Grosmont C
The Reservoir:
Grosmont C of the Woodbend Group Upper Devonian in age Contains fracture, mouldic vuggy, and intergranular porosity types

Highly bitumen saturated dolomite


Devonian strata dip to the Northeast resulting in structural subcrop trap against Cretaceous unconformity to NorthEast Shallow water restricted carbonate platform sediments Early reflux dolomitization of muds, later leaching of remaining calcite and fossils during Cretaceous exposure

Caprock
The Grosmont formation was ultimately sealed by the overlaying Lower Cretaceous Wabiskaw shales Caprock injectivity testing shows the Wabiskaw shale fracture gradient to be 22kpa/m Maximum surface steam injection pressures were limited to 5,100 kPa to prevent fracturing of the Wabiskaw shales
Actual injection pressures did not exceed 4,000 kPa throughout the steam injection cycle

Reclamation Activities
The Pad site will have topsoil and subsoil re-contoured to mimic surrounding landscape Course woody debris will be re-spread evenly over disturbed areas and the lease will be left to naturally re-vegetate On-going monitoring for weeds, erosion, and re-vegetation performance will occur until a Reclamation Certificate has been obtained Sunshine Oil Sands Ltd confirms, to the best of its knowledge, that all operations are in compliance with all conditions and approvals related to the Harper CSS Pilot Project

Key Learnings and Future Plans

Sunshine Oilsands Ltd.

Harper Pilot Resource Update March 2011

74

Key Learnings
Grosmont C bitumen is thermally mobile Successful in mobilizing and producing bitumen during this steam pilot
Grosmont C has high injectivity due to excellent permeability Could not pressure up the formation Maximum steam injection rates of 250m3/d CWE High well deliverability, unable to draw down the fluid levels Fiber optic temperature sensor has good resolution, allowing observations on fluid levels and downhole conditions Can conclude injection and production to the lower porosity interval due to uniform heating of fiber optic string Able to see temperature changes in the wellbore, N2 blanket visible Potential fluid level monitoring although highly interpretive N2 blanket successfully insulated wellbore above steam injection interval

Potential Design Improvements


Reservoir Heterogeneity Reservoir non-conformance challenges were indicated when there was no pressure build-up during injection operations and was likely due to highly permeable fractures and vugs Shorter cycles might be required to optimize the thermal stimulation and production cycles Artificial Lift Due to pre-production delays, production operations were only able to recover ~50% of injected CWE volume from the formation Maximum pump volumes of ~85m3/day were insufficient to draw down wellbore fluid levels Operating Improvements Pre-steam production test to understand reservoir fluid dynamics Cost effective water disposal required Real time surface and down-hole pressure and temperature monitoring Flow meters for all fluids including fuel More time required for CSS cycles

Future Plans
Evaluating options to produce remainder of injected water back next winter Determine if there is a mobile water phase in the Grosmont formation Evaluating potential for future cycles at the Harper Pilot location Shorter injection cycles with a more aggressive production strategy Amendment of current application and extension of pilot operations are required if another cycle is to be executed at the 11-21-95-24W4 pilot location Current steam flood experiments of Grosmont C 11-21-95-24W4 core will provide greater understanding of potential recovery factors and residual oil saturations Impacts of vugs and fractures on recoveries to be determined through CT scans before and after steam flood tests Future pilot projects experimenting with modern enhanced oil recovery techniques will be evaluated
