Leduc May Develop Into Canada's Richest Oil Field
An Imperial Oil geologist at an international gathering estimated Ledux capacity at 80,000,000 barrels and said the field could become Canada’s richest. Dr T A Link noted the find covers 8,300 acres with potential expansion by exploration, and production could reach 20,000 barrels per acre for up to 120,000,000 barrels. The field lies in Devonian rock and coral reef remnants from 350,000 years ago, akin to West Texas prospects. Current production is 2,590 barrels daily, with 1948 target of 10,000 bpd, as Alberta’s oil board sets quotas. Leduc is Canada’s third major field after Turner Valley and Norman Wells.
