02 — Access

Field Access Scenarios

A heli-portable approach minimizes access requirements while keeping staging and mobilization suited to each site.

1

Heli-Portable Access

The portable cut-and-cap equipment can be transported directly to each well location.

2

No Road Required

The portable spread avoids the need to construct an access road to complete the work.

3

Small Staging Area

Staging is selected to suit confirmed site conditions and support efficient mobilization.

Field conditions require confirmation

Access method, staging requirements and schedule will be confirmed from the current conditions at each well location before mobilization.

Field Access Assessment

Athabasca Oil Corporation will confirm access conditions for both locations.

Equipment Selection

The portable equipment spread is confirmed from that assessment.

Mobilization Planning

Confirmed access conditions determine the final mobilization plan.
