Daily Oil Bulletin (DOB) announced the launch of its new Assets for Sale portal on Sept. 19.
The data can be accessed via the DOB home page. DOB is a subscription-based service.
The map displays oil and gas assets (royalty, production, land) available for acquisition or trade. Advisors and sellers are listed with each property.
Asset data for this new initiative is supplied by CanOils, which is owned by JWN, which also publishes the DOB. JWN, DOB, Rig Locator Estevan Mercury and Pipeline News are all owned by Glacier Media.
Rather than outlining exact properties on the map, pins are shown at the centre of townships, with a note saying, “The pin represents an average of all locations. Individual locations are highlighted.”
Pipeline systems are also shown on the map, such as the TEML system that acts as the gathering system for all pipelined oil in southeast Saskatchewan.
The tool provides unique view of energy assets for sale across Canada, presented in a map format similar to Rig Locator. In southeast Saskatchewan, for instance, clients can find four cases of land for sale, one instance of royalty assets and numerous production assets listed.
One example of royalty assets is composed of 17,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) proved reserves in the Bromhead area. That property is for sale from Petro One Energy Corp.
A little to the east, In the Torquay area, people can find a producing asset for sale from 101250512 Saskatchewan Ltd. It includes 31 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) of production.
In the Carnduff area, Canadian Natural Resources Limited has 992 net acres for sale.
Over in the Weyburn field, Crescent Point Energy Corp. has 1,202 boepd production (100 per cent liquids) and 6,027 net acres for sale. It also includes 6 million boe of proved reserves. In this case, the pin highlighted six townships, but was weighed to near Goodwater.
It’s also possible to come across areas that might otherwise be obscure. For instance, in the Chapleau Lake area, south of Kendall, Manulife Financial has 2,442 boepd (62 per cent gas) and 2.8 million boe proved reserves (53 per cent gas) listed.
For a property at Senate, Saskatchewan, in the extreme southwest corner of the province, the tables show, “Talisman is seeking to sell, swap or farm-out two properties located in Michichi, Alberta and Senate, Saskatchewan.”
The word “temporal” doesn’t see much common usage except in Star Trek episodes, but if one feels like going back in time, the site also offers a “temporal filter,” where “assets can also be filtered by time.”
A table view can also be pulled up if viewers don’t feel like clicking on pins.
