Eric Nuttall, Senior Portfolio Manager at Ninepoint Partners, in a recent interview with the Financial Post had some good news for the beleaguered Oil & Gas Industry: “Oil demand will recover a lot faster than people believe.”

In a year where the market has been quite slow because of lockdowns, rail blockades, and other unforeseen circumstances, this is great to hear. But, how can it be? He says it has been proven true by the fact that in areas recovered from COVID-19 lockdowns, oil demand has rebounded. For example, in Japan, it is just 4% below where it was pre-COVID, and in China demand exceeds where it was pre-COVID.

Other factors that lead to Mr. Nutall’s prediction include the fact that when COVID Is all said and done some time in 2021/2022, there will be a lot of pent-up demand to meet once things return to normal (ex. for things like travel, or single-use vehicles as people avoid mass transit).

He also mentions that we need to consider the fact that soon the world will be adding non-OECD countries to the hydrocarbon consumption market as they begin to achieve the standard of living that we already experience in the developed world. They will not immediately jump to unproven green energy markets, they will want to go with tried and tested options available to them, which will drive the demand for oil up.

Finally, he focuses on the fact that Canada is where energy investors should pay close attention to as the world comes out of COVID-19 in 2021/2022. There are three main reasons for this. One, the country will be adding massive capacity through new pipelines – 1 Million barrels per day. Two, Canadian energy companies have proven low corporate decline rates. Finally, three, Canadian energy companies also have long-life reserves.

The Project: 

Over the past five years, proppant intensity in the Montney formation has increased exponentially – especially in the prolific Pipestone Area west of Grande Prairie, AB. To maximize efficiency and reduce Drilling and Completions costs, the trend at recent well sites in the Pipestone Area is to pump up to 6,000 MT of proppant per day at a single location with two pressure pumping crews. This poses a significant supply chain challenge as proppant and last mile logistics can account for 25% to 30% of the entire Drilling and Completions costs in this area, equivalent to roughly $1 MM per day. The purpose of our Pipestone Area project with our junior E&P customer and trucking partners was to utilize our Last Mile Proppant Supply Chain Optimization Solution in order to ensure continuous, orderly, repeatable, and cost-efficient well completion activities.

The Approach:

Source’s Last Mile Proppant Supply Chain Optimization Solution capitalizes on the company’s large storage and throughput capacity, as well as our cutting-edge technology, to accelerate and optimize the logistics involved in loading and transporting proppant the last mile by truck to the well pad.

For the Pipestone Area project, Source delivered 45,000 MT of Northern White proppant from our Wembley terminal to the Pipestone area well site. Source’s Wembley terminal has the largest storage (90,000 MT) and throughput capacity (15,000 MT/day) of any single proppant terminal in Western Canada. The terminal also features 4 truck load outs, which enables Source to have a truck loaded and, on the road, every 4 minutes.

In addition, Source used our proprietary Advanced Logistics Performance System (ALPS) throughout the project. The ALPS technology enabled us to ensure the trucks adhered to the correct, pre-established route from our Wembley terminal to the Pipestone well site, as well as monitor truck velocity ensuring they stayed within the speed limit. Realtime management of trucks with our proprietary ALPS technology also enabled zero standby costs, which meant we were able to keep the project within budget and project scope. We also had a record high delivery day of proppant – 5,100 MT – to the well pad during this project. Source is investing in making 4,000 MT plus per crew per day commonplace for all our customers, so this will be commonplace as we move forward with our Last Mile Proppant Supply Chain Optimization Solution. In the end, the ALPS technology ultimately optimized the last mile proppant supply chain so that the proppant arrived at the well pad safely, without incident, and in an almost on-demand manner.

The Results:

This project proved that, like the majors, junior E&Ps can unlock the efficiency of self-sourcing proppant. The Source logistics system worked together to deliver record volumes while optimizing the supply chain. Source’s technology and systems reduced the total number of trucks on the road and drivers benefitted as their capacity to work was maximized. In addition, The Pipestone area well site project came within 1% of our project initial plan. Industry expectations have within ~3% considered to be a success, so we were thrilled with this outcome.

Source has also developed Sahara, a proprietary well site mobile sand storage and handling system.

Source’s full-service approach allows customers to rely on its logistics capabilities to increase reliability of supply and to ensure the timely delivery of their requirements for frac sand and other bulk completion materials at the well site.

​​​​​Source and our Last Mile Proppant Supply Chain Optimization Solution were​ featured in the Daily Oil Bulletin, the most trusted source of exclusive news, data, and analysis for Canada’s oil and gas industry. The article outlines how Source capitalizes on its large storage and throughput capacity, as well as cutting edge technology, to accelerate and optimize the logistics involved in loading and transporting proppant the “last mile” by truck. Here is an excerpt from the article:

You’d think Source Energy Services Ltd., Canada’s largest frac sand provider, would have enough of a logistics challenge transporting its northern white sand about 2,100 kilometres by rail from the three mines it owns in Wisconsin.

But it turns out that, even though the company leases over 2,000 rail cars, which must transport the unique Wisconsin-based sand all that way to terminals it owns inAlberta, in a sector where profit
margins are as thin as some of that sand, it needed to do more to help its customers trim their costs.

And that’s where Source’s last mile proppant supply chain approach enters the picture.

Over the past couple of weeks, we have been navigating uncharted territory. Effective Friday March 13, 2020 Source Energy Services closed our Calgary, Eau Claire, and Grande Prairie offices and required our employees in corporate offices to work from home. In addition to our office closures we introduced new protocols across our operations which are designed to identify and manage the risk to our employees in the field, at our terminals, and at our production facilities. These protocols include maintaining safe distance between coworkers, increasing cleaning and sanitation procedures throughout our facilities, and cancelling all non-essential work travel.

With regards to our Wisconsin operations and the March 24, 2020 state mandated shutdown of non-essential businesses, the energy industry and its supply chain has been deemed as Critical Infrastructure and thus an Essential Business and Source will be continuing to operate.

We are taking these measures not out of panic and fear, but out of a duty to ensure we are doing our part in the community to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We are confident that the measures introduced will allow us to continue to operate safely and effectively with minimal to our employees, customers, and stakeholders.

If you have any questions regarding Source Energy Services continuing our operations or our COVID-19 response, please contact us for more information.
