Finally I have been told that in these areas you talked about that there are different types of heavy oil itself, some that are simialr in characterisitics to the tar sands and some not as heavy in nature. Are you able to direct me to any information on this topic. Thank you for you article as a teacher I enjoyed reading and want to know more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32583055.post-39446238019896200552011-06-23T08:37:50.746-06:002011-06-23T08:37:50.746-06:00Subsurface mineral rights typically consist of sma...Subsurface mineral rights typically consist of smaller plots -- for example, 2k x 6k (=12 square kilometres); when a company like Husky refers to 8000 sq km, they are aggregating these properties.<br /><br />In Alberta, mineral rights to a single piece of land can be sold simultaneously -- for example, company A gets the rights to one geological formation, while company B get rights to a deeper or more shallow formation under the same surface property.Peter McKenzie-Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328673407558511310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32583055.post-62738072412036196832011-06-22T18:10:56.258-06:002011-06-22T18:10:56.258-06:00Having said that, I read on further to see Husky i...Having said that, I read on further to see Husky is claiming to have a "land position of 8000 square kilometres?" show me a map of this territory. Is this on Jupiter? Its only 2000 some km from Ontario to BC. Surely you must mean metres unless they actually do have rigs on other planets which is entirely possible.. tweet me your reply unless I never come back to this quadrant of cyber space again @jaredmyskoJared Myskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741085483424663591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32583055.post-55320576880968388462011-06-22T17:59:21.483-06:002011-06-22T17:59:21.483-06:00Thank you for writing this article.

They only mention Cenovus and I thought there was more than one company here. Thanks, I like to do the math myself. I've always wondered how much money we are making here as a province. Obviously they are going to hide most of it but its fun to try and find the money and make them nervous.Jared Myskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741085483424663591noreply@blogger.com
