Over the past several years Terminis has executed large scale abandonment and remedial projects for a range of confidential operators across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.
The examples below highlight how our engineering, coiled tubing methods, and program management deliver consistent results: wells completed on time, within tight budget tolerances, and with measurable reductions in liability.
Terminis was selected to lead a multi-year abandonment and decommissioning program for Pengrowth Energy Inc. (acquired by Strathcona Resources in 2020) after the BC Energy Regulator directed the operator to significantly reduce its long-standing liability. The project involved 347 suspended wells in Northeastern British Columbia, many of which had been inactive for more than a decade.
Terminis delivered an end-to-end abandonment management program, providing engineering, cost estimating, program development, wellsite and office supervision, and third-party contracting. Our team also oversaw facility decommissioning, equipment removal, and the sale of surplus assets — giving the operator both execution and financial efficiency.
During the 2020 commodity downturn, Terminis applied for — and secured — $2.25 million in Dormant Sites Reclamation Program funding, contributing 29.4% of Strathcona’s capital requirements for the 2021–2022 program years. This allowed the abandonment program to move forward aggressively despite market challenges.
These high-level results highlight the consistency, precision, and accountability Terminis brings to every abandonment program. Across multiple regions and operating areas, our teams deliver safe, compliant, and cost-controlled outcomes that operators can depend on.
These snapshots highlight the consistency, precision, and accountability Terminis brings to large-scale abandonment and remedial programs across Western Canada. From reducing suspended well inventories to zero, to delivering complex multi-region campaigns within narrow budget tolerances, each project reflects our engineering-first approach and field-proven execution. The summaries below provide a transparent look at what we’ve delivered for a range of confidential operators.
For Client A, Terminis abandoned 242 wells on time and within three percent of budget. This program also included white mapping and planning for five shut in fields in north eastern British Columbia, giving the client clear visibility on timelines, costs, and remaining liability across the portfolio.
For Client B, Terminis abandoned 231 wells, reducing the suspended well inventory to zero. Work was completed on time and on budget across multiple areas including Viking, Kinsella, Provost, Wainwright, Taber, Sylvan Lake, and into north eastern British Columbia. Remedial cementing was carried out through Terminis coiled tubing, improving precision and efficiency while controlling project spend.
For Client C, Terminis abandoned 475 wells within four percent of budget. Operations were conducted in Provost, Hayter, Consort, Lac La Biche, Marten Hills, and Sylvan Lake. As with other programs, remedial cementing was performed through Terminis coiled tubing, ensuring consistent plug quality and long term well integrity.
For Client D, Terminis completed 88 wells in north eastern British Columbia within two percent of budget. Our coiled tubing based remedial cementing program allowed the operator to meet regulatory expectations while maintaining strict control over cost and schedule.
For Client E, Terminis abandoned 98 wells in north western Alberta, completing the work within five percent of budget. Remedial cementing was again delivered through Terminis coiled tubing, providing a repeatable and efficient approach across varied well conditions.
These analytics reflect the consistency and reliability Terminis brings to every program. From large, multi-field abandonment campaigns to targeted remedial projects, our teams deliver safe, compliant, and cost-controlled results — every time.
If you are planning an abandonment program or facing SCVF, gas migration, or remedial cementing challenges, Terminis can bring the same engineering discipline and field execution to your assets.
