FRANK RICHTER,
Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources.
Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources Office,
June 1, 1970.
James Dickson, retired Chief Inspector of Mines, died in Vancouver
on September 8, 1969, in his eighty-eighth year. He was born in Scotland
and studied mining engineering at the Royal Technical College, Glasgow.
He came to British Columbia in 1912 and, after holding official positions
in several Vancouver Island coal mines, became manager of the Reserve
mine of the Western Fuel Company. In 1919 he left this position to join
the staff of the Department of Mines as Inspector of Mines and member of
the Board of Examiners for coal-mine officials. He became Chief Inspector
in 1926, which position he held until his retirement on April 30, 1947.
During his long tenure of office he was instrumental in introducing many
sound safety provisions in both the Coal and Metalliferous Mines Regulation Acts. He was especially active in promoting mine-rescue work and
in the training of mine personnel for this very important and necessary phase
of safety work. Mr. Dickson is survived by two daughters and one son.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MINISTER
OF MINES AND PETROLEUM
RESOURCES, 1969
CHAPTER I
Introduction
A report on the mineral industry in the Province has been published annually
since 1874. From 1874 to 1959 it was the Annual Report of the Minister of
Mines, and since 1960 it has been the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and
Petroleum Resources.
Starting with 1969, the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum
Resources will contain a review of the mineral industry, and chapters dealing with
Statistics, Departmental Work, Petroleum and Natural Gas, and Inspection of
Mines. Technical reports on geology, mineral exploration, metal mines, placer,
industrial minerals and structural materials, and coal which formerly were included
in the Annual Report are being published separately in a volume entitled Geology,
Exploration, and Mining in British Columbia. A new series of annual publications
of that name begins with the 1969 volume.
This Annual Report contains a general review of the mineral industry as a
whole. The chapter on Statistics records the mineral production of the Province
in all its phases and in considerable detail. Current and past practices in arriving
at quantities and in calculating the values of products are outlined.
The organization of the Department and the work of its various branches are
outlined briefly in the chapter on Departmental Work.
The chapter on Petroleum and Natural Gas contains a general review and
records in considerable detail the development and production statistics of that
expanding industry.
Information concerning mine safety, fatal accidents, dangerous occurrences,
etc., and the activities of the Inspection Branch are contained in the chapter on
Inspection of Mines.

Review of the Mineral Industry
By Stuart S. Holland
Production.—The value of the 1969 production of British Columbia's mineral
industry amounted to $464,302,695. A new record was established for the eighth
successive year and the previous year's total was exceeded by $59,274,207 or
14.6 per cent. The total value to date has now reached $7,160 million.
The values of the four classes of products are as follows:—
1968
Metals $250,912,026
Industrial minerals ... 26,056,782
Structural materials __ 45,189,476
Fuels 82,870,204
The increase in metal production by 17.2 per cent was due to the remarkable
increases in the production of copper ($24.3 million) and molybdenum ($14
million). The copper increase combined an increased quantity with an increase in
average price from 54.22 to 66.66 cents per pound; the molybdenum increase
largely was due to increased production at Endako mine.
The decrease in value of industrial minerals was due to a reduction in value
of sulphur ($5.8 million). Not only was the production from Jefferson Lake down
but there was a large reduction in the arbitrary price used in valuing the sulphur
content of the sulphuric acid produced by Cominco Ltd.
Structural materials increased in value (by $10.1 million) mostly due to
increased value of cement, sand, and gravel.
The value of fuels increased by 12.9 per cent despite decreased production of
coal. Both crude oil and natural gas continue to increase in quantity and value.
In 1969, coal contributed 7.3 per cent of the total value but, with the start of bulk
shipments of coal to Japan, this percentage should increase considerably in 1970.
During the next few years it is anticipated that the total value of production
will continue to increase. New production of copper is expected from several
important properties proceeding toward production, and several properties in production in 1970 or shortly thereafter will contribute significantly to the output of
molybdenum. Production of coal will increase greatly because of deliveries to Japan
starting in April, 1970. Petroleum and natural gas production are expected to
maintain a steady growth.
Provincial Revenue.—Direct revenue to the Provincial Government derived
from the entire mineral industry in 1969 was as follows:—
Free miners' certificates, recording fees, lease
rentals, assessment payments, etc. $1,779,378.16
Royalties on iron concentrates 252,489.34
Rentals and royalties on industrial minerals
and structural materials 239,024.00
Fifteen-per-cent mining tax (received during
1969) 3,725,329.00
Coal licences 78,605.90
Petroleum and natural gas rentals, fees, etc 10,339,973.73

Royalties on oil, gas, and processed products 12,796,833.56
Miscellaneous 19,625.19
Total $50,877,710.42
Metal Mining.—In 1969, 60 mines produced 31.8 million tons of ore. Eight
mines produced more than 1 million tons each and nine open-pit mines produced
more than 21 million tons.
In 1969, 29 concentrators were in operation. A new concentrator, capacity
24,000 tons per day, was completed at Brenda mine. Concentrators with total
capacity of 10,575 tons per day were under construction at the Granduc, Greyhound, Magnum, Silverquick, Mount Copeland, and True Fissure mines.
Exploration and development work reached a sufficiently advanced stage for
production to be expected within the next few years from the following properties:
Island Copper (copper-molybdenum) at Rupert Inlet; Lornex and Alwin (copper)
in Highland Valley; Newman (copper) on Babine Lake; Ingerbelle and Copper
Mountain (copper) at Princeton; Nadina (silver-lead-zinc) at Owen Lake; Invincible (tungsten) at Salmo; Annex (lead-zinc) near Remac; and Ruth Vermont
(silver-lead-zinc) near Golden.
During the year mining and concentrating operations were terminated by
Zeballos Iron Mines Limited (FL mine).
The Trail smelter treated 7,456 tons of crude ore and 359,937 tons of concentrates from British Columbia as well as a large tonnage of concentrates, ore, and
scrap from sources outside the Province. A total of 2,220,867 tons of concentrates
was shipped to foreign smelters. Of the total metal production of the Province,
concentrates representing 9.0 per cent of the total value were shipped to American
smelters and concentrates representing 43.3 per cent of the total value were shipped
to Japanese smelters.

Most molybdenum is sold as molybdenite concentrate, but Endako Mines Ltd.
convert about 31 per cent of their output to molybdic oxide. Destinations of British
Columbia molybdenum are as follows: Canada and the United States, 10 per cent;
Japan, 14 per cent; and the bulk of the remainder sold in Europe, with the United
Kingdom taking 27 per cent.
Prospecting for, and exploration and development of, mineral deposits continued at a high level of activity throughout the Province. The chief interest was in
copper, copper-molybdenum, and molybdenum deposits in the Omineca, Kamloops,
Cariboo, and Atlin Mining Divisions. The number of mineral claims recorded in
1969 was 84,665, a 40-per-cent increase over 1968. Slightly less exploratory
diamond drilling but slightly more percussion drilling was done in 1969. The
employment statistics for exploration work were slightly less in 1969, 11,466 man-

months, compared with 11,794 man-months in 1968. About 430 geological, geo-
chemical, and geophysical reports were accepted by the Department in 1969. They
represent not less than $2,060,000 in work done on claims.
The statistics of exploration and development of mineral deposits and mines
are presented as recorded on Dominion Bureau of Statistics forms. Comparable

The foregoing represent minimum amounts, but the response by the industry
is sufficiently complete to provide figures that are substantially correct. Exploration
includes all work up to the point when a company declares their intention of
proceeding to production.
Departmental records indicate that a total of not less than 11,500 man-months
of work was done by company and contractor employees in prospecting for and
exploring metallic mineral deposits. This figure is not comparable with the one in
Table 10 which shows the total company employees reported to the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics.
Major operating expenditures in 1969 by companies involved in the exploration
and mining of metals, minerals, and coal were as follows:—
Mining operations—metals, minerals, coal $133,903,585
Structural materials operations 13,488,952
Capital expenditures 70,738,768
Repair expenditures 21,296,769
Exploration and development 139,897,000
TotaL
$379,325,074
Capital and repair expenditures are listed separately because of difficulties in allocating them consistently. Actually most of the repair expenditures should be applied
to mining operations, and most of the capital expenditures to exploration and
development.
Coal Mining.—In 1969 the coal-mining industry of British Columbia was in
transition from a dormant period which had existed since about 1950 to a period
of expansion and greatly increased production resulting from the sustained demand
for coking-coal by the Japanese steel industry. The 15-year contracts signed by
Kaiser Resources Ltd., and the prospective contracts being negotiated by other
companies in the East Kootenay coalfield seem to indicate an immediate increase
REVIEW OF THE MINERAL INDUSTRY A 15
in output to about 5 million tons per year, followed by a further increase to 9 million
tons and perhaps even higher. In order to carry out this expansion, a tremendous
increase in facilities both at the mines and at the shipping points, together with far-
reaching changes in railway transportation methods, has been necessary. The new
bulk-coal shipping terminals at Roberts Bank and at Neptune Terminal in Vancouver Harbour were substantially completed by the end of the year.
The amount of coal sold and used in 1969 amounted to 852,340 short tons
valued at $6,817,155, a decrease of $771,834 or 10.2 per cent. Almost all this
production (99 per cent) was from the Michel operations of Kaiser Resources Ltd.
Coal exploration has been stimulated by the more favourable outlook for sales
by the industry. Not only has exploration been active in the East Kootenay coalfield, but a number of other coal areas in the Province have been re-examined.
Perhaps the most significant discovery was east of Sukunka River, 36 miles south
of Chetwynd, where reserves of high-grade coking-coal in relatively flat-lying seams
are being explored.
Petroleum and Natural Gas.—The 1969 value of production of the petroleum
industry amounted to $86.8 million. For the fifth successive year there was a
substantial gain in production. Gains in production compared to 1968 for crude
oil were 16.3 per cent in value and 14.2 per cent in quantity, and for natural gas
were 13.7 per cent in value and 15.3 per cent in quantity. Crude oil was second
only to copper in value. Secondary recovery schemes from the oilfields producing
from Triassic formations accounted for the majority of the crude-oil production.
Large increases in gas production came from northern fields producing from reservoirs in Devonian formations. Eighty-five per cent of the Province's crude-oil
production came from the Boundary Lake, Peejay, Milligan Creek, Inga, and Weasel
fields. The major gas fields are Clarke Lake, Yoyo, Laprise, Nig Creek, Jedney,
and Rigel.
Exploration activities, as measured by the amount of seismic work and exploration drilling done, were down during the year. Development drilling was only slightly
less than in 1968, but the total footage drilled, including exploration, declined by
19 per cent.
The number of wells completed decreased by 9 per cent and no significant
discoveries were made.
No major changes were made to pipe-fine and marketing installations.
Net cash expenditures by the petroleum industry in 1969 follow:—
Exploration, including land acquisition and drilling $57,599,000
Development drilling 11,241,000
Capital expenditures 9,702,000
Natural-gas plants operations 3,735,000
Field, well, and pipe-line operations 9,785,000
General (excluding income tax) 17,688,000
Total $109,750,000
Statistics
CHAPTER II
INTRODUCTION
The statistics of the mineral industry are collected, compiled, and tabulated
for this Report by the Economics and Statistics Branch, Department of Industrial
Development, Trade, and Commerce, Victoria.
In the interests of uniformity and to avoid duplication of effort, beginning with
the statistics for 1925, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the various Provincial
departments have co-operated in the collecting and processing of mineral statistics.
Producers of metals, industrial minerals, structural materials, coal, and
petroleum and natural gas are requested to submit returns in duplicate on forms
prepared for use by the Province and by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
As far as possible, both organizations follow the same practice in processing
the data. The final compilation by the Dominion Bureau is usually published
considerably later than the Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources
for British Columbia. Differences between the values of production published by
the two organizations arise mainly because the Dominion Bureau uses average prices
for metals considered applicable to the total Canadian production, whereas the British Columbia mining statistician uses prices considered applicable to British Columbia production. This method of pricing with respect to copper results in the Dominion Bureau of Statistic's value of copper production being considerably less than
the amount recorded in this report.
Peat, included under the classification of fuel by the Dominion Bureau, is not
regarded as a mineral or fuel, and accordingly is not included in the British
Columbia statistics of mineral production.
METHOD OF COMPUTING PRODUCTION
The tabulated statistics are arranged so as to facilitate comparison of the
production records for the various mining divisions, and from year to year. From
time to time, revisions have been made to figures published in earlier reports as
additional data became available or errors become known.
Data are obtained from the certified returns made by producers of metals,
industrial minerals and structural materials, and coal, and are augmented by data
obtained from custom smelters. For placer gold, returns from operators are augmented by data obtained from the Royal Canadian Mint. For petroleum, natural
gas, and liquid by-products, production figures supplied by the Petroleum and
Natural Gas Branch of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources are
compiled from the monthly disposition reports and the Crown royalty statement
filed with the Department by the producers.
Values are in Canadian funds. Weights are avoirdupois pounds and short
tons (2,000 lb.), and troy ounces. Barrels are 35 imperial gallons.
Metals
Gross and Net Content
The gross content of a metal in ore, concentrate, or bullion is the amount of
that metal calculated from an assay of the material, and the gross metal contents are
A 16
STATISTICS
A 17
the sum of individual metal assay contents. The net contents are the gross contents
less smelter and refinery losses.
In past years there have been different methods used in calculating net contents,
particularly in the case of one metal contained in the concentrate of another. The
present method was established in 1963 and is outlined in the following table. For
example, the net content of silver in copper concentrates is 98 per cent of the gross
content, of cadmium in zinc concentrates is 70 per cent of the gross content, etc.

Calculated Value
Prior to 1925 the value of gold and copper produced was calculated by using
their true average prices and, in addition, for copper the smelter loss was taken
into account.
The value of other metals was calculated from the gross metal content of ores
or concentrates by using a metal price which was an arbitrary percentage of the
average price, as follows: Silver, 95 per cent; lead, 90 per cent; and zinc, 85
per cent.
It is these percentages of the average price that are listed in the table on page
A 26.
For 1925 and subsequent years the value has been calculated by using the true
average price (see p. A 26) and the net metal contents, in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Department of
Mines and Petroleum Resources.
In the statistical tables, for gold the values are calculated by multiplying the
gross contents of gold by the average price for the year; for the other principal
metals, by multiplying the net contents of metals as determined by means of the
above table by the average price for the year.
Iron concentrate exported to Japan is valued at the price received by the
shippers. The value per ton of the iron ore used in making pig iron at Kimberley
is an arbitrary figure, being the average of several ores of comparable grade at their
points of export from British Columbia. The value of molybdenum is the amount
received by the shippers. The metals, bismuth, tin, mercury, and indium, are
valued on the basis of the price received by the shippers, and the value of antimony
is the net content multiplied by the average price for the year.
Average Prices
The prices used in the valuation of current and past metal production are
shown in the table on page A 26.
The price of gold used is the average Canadian Mint buying-price for fine gold.
In 1969 this was $37.69 per ounce.
The price used for placer gold was originally established arbitrarily at $17
per ounce, when the price of fine gold was $20.67 per ounce. Between 1931 and
A 18 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
1962 the price was proportionately increased with the continuously changing price
of fine gold. Since 1962, Canadian Mint reports giving the fine-gold content have
been available for all but a very small part of the placer gold produced, and the
average price listed is derived by dividing ounces of placer gold into total amount
received.
Prior to 1949 the prices used for silver, copper, lead, and zinc were the average
prices of the markets indicated in the table on page A 26, converted into Canadian
funds. The abbreviations in the table are Mont.=Montreal; N.Y.=New York;
Lond.=London; E. St. L.=East St. Louis; and U.S.=United States.
Latterly the prices of the principal metals, silver, copper, lead, and zinc are
average United States prices converted into Canadian funds. Average monthly
prices are supplied by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics from figures published
in the Metal Markets section of the Engineering and Mining Journal. Specifically,
for silver it is the New York price; for lead it is the New York price; for zinc it is
the price at East St. Louis of Prime Western; for copper it is the United States
export refinery price; and for cadmium the New York producer's price to consumer.
For nickel the price used is the Canadian price as set by the International
Nickel Company of Canada Ltd.
Industrial Minerals and Structural Materials
The values for industrial minerals and structural materials approximate the
amounts received at the point of origin.
Fuel
The price per ton used in valuing coal (see p. A 26) is the weighted average of
the f.o.b. prices at the mine for the coal sold.
The values for natural gas, natural-gas liquid by-products, and for petroleum
including condensate/pentanes plus are the amounts received for the products at
the well-head.
NOTES ON PRODUCTS LISTED IN THE TABLES
Antimony.—Antimony metal was produced at the Trail smelter from 1939 to
1944; since 1944 it has been marketed alloyed with lead. The antimony is a
by-product from silver-lead ores. In 1907 the first recorded antimonial ore mined
in British Columbia was shipped from the Slocan area to England. Since then
other out-of-Province shipments have originated in the Bridge River, North Lardeau,
Slocan, Spillimacheen, and Stuart Lake areas. In Table 7c the antimony assigned
to individual mining divisions is the reported content of ores exported to foreign
smelters; the antimony "not assigned " is that recovered at the Trail smelter from
various ores received there. See Tables 1, 3, and 7c.
Arsenious Oxide.—Arsenious oxide was recovered at foreign smelters from
arsenical gold ores from Hedley between 1917 and 1931, and in 1942 and from
the Victoria property on Rocher Deboule Mountain in 1928. No production has
been recorded since 1942. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Asbestos.—British Columbia has produced asbestos since 1952 when the
Cassiar mine, the sole producer to date, was opened. From 1953 to 1961 the fibre
was valued at the shipping point in North Vancouver, but beginning in 1962 it has
been valued at the mine, and values for the preceding years have been recalculated
on that basis. See Tables 1,3, and 7d.
STATISTICS A 19
Barite.—Barite production began in 1940 and has been continuous since then,
coming from several operations in the upper Columbia River valley. Some barite
is mined from lode deposits and the rest is recovered from the mill-tailings ponds
of the former Silver Giant and Mineral King silver-lead-zinc mines. See Tables 1,
3, and 7d.
Bentonite.—Small amounts of bentonite were produced between 1926 and
1944 from deposits in the coal measures near Princeton. There has been no production since 1944. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Bismuth.—Since 1929 the Trail smelter has produced bismuth. It is a byproduct of lead refining and thus the production cannot be assigned to specific
properties or mining divisions. See Tables 1, 3, and 7c.
Brick.—See Clay and Shale products.
Butane.—Butane is recovered as a by-product at the gas-processing plant at
Taylor and at oil refineries. See Tables 1,3, and 7a.
Cadmium.—Cadmium has been recovered as a by-product at the Trail zinc
refinery since 1928. It occurs in variable amounts in the sphalerite of most British
Columbia silver-lead-zinc ores. In Table 7c the cadmium assigned to individual
mining divisions is the reported content of custom shipments to the Trail and foreign
smelters; that " not assigned " is the remainder of the reported estimated recovery
at the Trail smelter from British Columbia concentrates. See Tables 1, 3, and 7c.
Cement.—Cement is manufactured from carefully proportioned mixtures of
limestone, gypsum, and other mineral materials. It has been produced in British
Columbia since 1905. Present producers are Ocean Cement Limited, with a 4.8-
million-barrel-per-year plant at Bamberton, and Canada Cement Lafarge Ltd. with
a 3.5-million-barrel-per-year plant on Lulu Island and a 1.2-million-barrel-per-year
plant at Kamloops. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e.
Clay and Shale Products.—These include brick, blocks, tile, pipe, pottery, lightweight aggregate, and pozzolan manufactured from British Columbia clays and
shales. Common red-burning clays and shales are widespread in the Province, but
better grade clays are rare. The first recorded production was of bricks at Craig-
flower in 1853. Since then plants have operated in most towns and cities for short
periods, but today clayware production is restricted to plants in Vancouver, Haney,
Abbotsford, and Kilgard. On Saturna Island, shale is used to make light-weight
aggregate and pozzolan clinker and at Quesnel burnt shale is made into pozzolan.
Several hobby and art potteries and a sanitaryware plant are in operation also, but
these use mainly imported raw materials and their production is not included in the
tables. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e.
Chromite.—Two shipments of chromite are on record, 670 tons from Cascade
in 1918 and 126 tons from Scottie Creek in 1929. See Tables 1 and 7c.
Coal.—Coal was discovered at Suquash on Vancouver Island in 1835, at
Nanaimo in 1850, and later at numerous other places in British Columbia. First
production, by Mining Divisions: Cariboo, 1942; Fort Steele, 1898; Kamloops,
1893; Liard, 1923; Nanaimo, 1836; Nicola, 1907; Omineca, 1918; Osoyoos,
1926; Similkameen, 1909; and Skeena, 1912. The Nanaimo and Comox fields
produced virtually all of the coal until the opening up of the Crowsnest field in 1898.
The closing of the last large mine at Tsable River in 1966, and of the last small one,
near Wellington in 1968, marked the end of production from the once important
Vancouver Island deposits. The enormous requirements for coking-coal in Japan
created great activity in coal prospecting in various areas of British Columbia during
1969. The signing of large contracts with the Japanese resulted in preparations for
A 20 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
production at several deposits in the East Kootenays. First shipments to Japan via
special port facilities at North Vancouver and Roberts Bank began in 1970.
All the coal produced, including that used in making coke, is shown as primary
mine production. Quantity from 1836 to 1909 is gross mine output and includes
material lost in picking and washing. From 1910 the quantity is the amount sold
and used, which includes sales to retail and wholesale dealers, industrial users, and
company employees; coal used under company boilers, including steam locomotives;
and coal used in making coke. See Tables 1, 3, 7a, 8a, and 8b.
Cobalt.—In 1928 a recovery of 1,730 pounds of cobalt was made from a shipment of arsenical gold ore from the Victoria mine on Rocher Deboule Mountain.
See Tables 1 and 7c.
Coke.—Coke is made from special types of coal. It has been produced in
British Columbia since 1895. Being a manufactured product, its value does not
contribute to the total mineral production as shown in Table 1. Up to 1966, coke
statistics had been included in the Annual Report as Table 9, but this table has
been discontinued. The coal used in making coke is still recorded in Table 8b.
Coke statistics are available on request from the Economics and Statistics Branch,
Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce, Victoria.
Copper.—Copper production started in 1894. Ore was smelted in British
Columbia first in 1896 at Nelson (from Silver King mine) and at Trail (from
Rossland mines), and four and five years later at Grand Forks (from Phoenix mine)
and Greenwood (from Mother Lode mine). Later, small smelters were built in the
Boundary district and on Vancouver and Texada Islands, and in 1914 the Anyox
smelter was blown in. Copper smelting ceased in the Boundary district in 1919,
at Trail in 1929, and at Anyox in 1935. British Columbia copper ore was then
smelted mainly at Tacoma, and since 1961 has gone chiefly to Japan.
Most of the production has come from southern British Columbia—from
Britannia, Copper Mountain, Greenwood, Highland Valley, Merritt, Nelson, Rossland, Texada Island, and Vancouver Island, although a sizeable amount came from
Anyox and some came from Tulsequah. During recent years exploration for copper
has been intense, interest being especially keen in very large, low-grade deposits
suitable for open-pit mining. This activity has resulted in the establishment of
operating mines at Merritt (Craigmont) in 1961, in Highland Valley (Bethlehem)
in 1962, on Babine Lake (Granisle) in 1966, and near Peachland (Brenda) in
1970. Large mines near Port Hardy (Island Copper) and Stewart (Granduc) are
nearing the production stage; the Lornex and Valley Copper properties in Highland
Valley are in the advanced planning stage; and more prospects are under study in
Highland Valley, the Stikine region, and other areas. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b.
Crude Oil.—Production of crude oil in British Columbia began in 1955 from
the Fort St. John field, but was not significant until late in 1961 (see Fig. 34), when
the 12-inch oil pipe-line was built to connect the oil-gathering terminal at Taylor to
the Trans Mountain Oil Pipe Line Company pipe-line near Kamloops. In 1969
oil was produced from 25 separate fields, of which the Boundary Lake, Peejay, Mil-
ligan Creek, Inga, and Weasel fields were most productive.
In Tables 1, 3, and 7a, quantities given prior to 1962 under "petroleum,
crude " are total sales, and from 1962 to 1965 include field and plant condensates
listed separately. Full details are given in tables in the Petroleum and Natural Gas
chapter of this report.
Diatomite.—Small amounts of diatomite have been shipped from Quesnel
periodically since 1928. A plant to process the material locally was built in the
town in 1969. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d.
STATISTICS A 21
Field Condensate.—Field condensate is the liquid hydrocarbons separated and
recovered from natural gas in the field before gas processing. See Tables 1,3, and
7a.
Fluorite (Fluorspar).—Between 1918 and 1929, fluorite was mined at the Rock
Candy mine north of Grand Forks for use in the Trail lead refinery. From 1958 to
1968, small quantities were produced as a by-product at the Oliver silica quarry.
See Tables 1,3, and 7d.
Flux.—Silica and limestone are added to smelter furnaces as flux to combine
with impurities in the ore and form a slag which separates from the valuable metal.
In the past, silica from Grand Forks, Oliver, and the Sheep Creek area was shipped,
but today only limestone, chiefly from Texada Island, is produced for flux. Quantities have been recorded since 1911. See Tables 1,3, and 7d.
Gold, Lode.—Gold has played an important part in mining in the Province.
The first discovery of lode gold was made on Moresby Island in 1852, and the
first stamp mill, to treat gold-bearing quartz, was built in the Cariboo in 1876.
The principal gold-mining camps in order of production have been Bridge
River, Rossland, Portland Canal, Hedley, Wells, and Sheep Creek. At the present
time the only major producing gold mine is the Bralorne mine in the Bridge River
area. Currently more than half the gold is produced as a by-product from copper,
copper-zinc-silver, and other base-metal mining. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b.
Gold, Placer.—The early explorations and settlement of the Province followed
rapidly on the discovery of gold-bearing placer creeks throughout the country.
The first placer miners came in 1858 to mine the lower Fraser River bars upstream
from Yale.
Important placers were found in the Cariboo, Cassiar, Omineca, and Princeton
areas, and at Atlin, Cedar Creek, Fort Steele, Goldstream, Rock Creek, Squaw
Creek, and many other places.
Since World War II, placer-mining has been declining steadily.
A substantial part of the production, including much of the gold recovered from
the Fraser River upstream from Yale (in the present New Westminster, Kamloops,
and Lillooet Mining Divisions) and much of the early Cariboo production, was
mined before the original organization of the Department of Mines in 1874. Consequently, the amounts recorded are based on early estimates and cannot be accurately
assigned to individual mining divisions.
The first year of production for major placer-producing mining divisions was:
Atlin, 1898; Cariboo, 1859; Liard, 1873; Lillooet, 1858; Omineca, 1869.
In 1965, changes were made in the allocation of placer gold to the New Westminster and Similkameen Mining Divisions and " not assigned," to reconcile those
figures with data incorporated in Bulletin No. 28, Placer Gold Production of British
Columbia. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7a.
Granules.—Rock chips used for bird grits, exposed aggregate, roofing, stucco
dash, terrazzo, etc., have been produced in constantly increasing quantities since
1930. Plants operate in Burnaby, near Hope, at Monte Creek, Sirdar, Vananda,
and Vernon. See Tables 1,3, and 7d.
Gypsum and Gypsite.—Production of gypsum and gypsite has been recorded
since 1911. Between 1925 and 1956 more than 1,000,000 tons was shipped from
Falkland and some was quarried near Cranbrook and Windermere. Since 1956
all production has come from Windermere. See Tables 1,3, and 7d.
Hydromagnesite.—Small shipments of hydromagnesite were made from Atlin
between 1904 and 1916 and from Clinton in 1921. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Indium.—Production of indium as a by-product of zinc-refining at the Trail
smelter began in 1942. Production figures have not been disclosed since 1958.
A 22 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
Iron Concentrates.—Iron ore was produced in small quantities as early as 1885.
Sustained production began in 1951 with shipments of concentrated magnetite ore
to Japan. The ore has been mined mainly from magnetite and copper-bearing
magnetite deposits on Vancouver Island, Texada Island, and Morseby Island.
Since 1961, calcined iron sulphide from the tailings of the Sullivan mine has
been used for making pig iron at Kimberley. The entire production, credited to the
Fort Steele Mining Division in Table 7c, is of calcine. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7c.
Iron Oxide.—Iron oxide, ochre, and bog iron were mined as early as 1918
from several occurrences, but mainly from limonite deposits north of Squamish.
None has been produced since 1950. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Jade (Nephrite).—Production of jade (nephrite) has been recorded only since
1959 despite there being several years of significant production prior to that date.
The jade is recovered from a few bedrock occurrences and as alluvial boulders from
the Fraser River; the Bridge River and its tributaries, Marshall, Hell, and Cad-
wallader Creeks; O'Ne-ell, Ogden, Kwanika, and Wheaton Creeks; and Dease
Lake. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d.
Lead.—Lead was first produced in British Columbia in 1887. Almost all has
come from the southeastern part of the Province, where the Sullivan mine has produced about 85 per cent of the Provincial total. Other important mines are at
Salmo, Pend d'Oreille River, and North Kootenay Lake.
In 1958, revisions were made in some yearly totals for lead to adjust them for
recovery of lead from slag treated at the Trail smelter. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b.
Limestone.—Besides being used for flux and granules (where it is recorded
separately), limestone is used in agriculture, cement manufacture, the pulp and
paper industry, and for making lime. It has been produced since 1886. Quarries
now operate at Cobble Hill, near Prince George, and on the north end of Texada
Island. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e.
Magnesium.—In 1941 and 1942, Cominco Ltd. produced magnesium from
magnesite mined from a large deposit at Marysville. See Tables 1 and 7c.
Magnesium Sulphate.—Magnesium sulphate was recovered in minor amounts
at various times between 1915 and 1942 from small alkali lakes near Basque,
Clinton, and Osoyoos. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Manganese.—In 1918-20 manganese ore was shipped from a bog deposit near
Kaslo and from Hill 60 near Cowichan Lake, and in 1956 a test shipment was made
from Olalla. See Tables 1 and 7c.
Mercury.—Mercury was first produced near Savona in 1895. Since then small
amounts have been recovered from the same area and from the Bridge River district.
The main production to date was between 1940-44 from the Pinchi Lake and Takla
mines near Fort St. James. In 1968 the Pinchi Lake mine reopened and continues
in full operation. The Silverquick mine in Bridge River region is expected to
recommence production in 1970. See Tables 1 and 7c.
Mica.—No sheet mica has been produced commercially in British Columbia.
Between 1932-61 small amounts of mica schist for grinding were mined near
Albreda, Armstrong, Oliver, Prince Rupert, and Sicamous. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d.
Molybdenum.—Molybdenum ore in small amounts was produced from high-
grade deposits between 1914 and 1918. More recently, mining of large low-grade
molybdenum and copper-molybdenum deposits has increased production to the
point that molybdenum now ranks third in importance in annual value of metals
produced in British Columbia. The upswing began when Bethlehem Copper mine
recovered by-product molybdenum in 1964 to 1966. In 1965, Endako and Boss
Mountain mine, followed by the Coxey in 1966, and British Columbia Molybdenum
STATISTICS A 23
in 1967, all began operations as straight molybdenum producers. In 1970, Brenda
mine, a combination copper-molybdenum producer, started operating. Other large-
scale combined metal deposits are in advanced stages of planning. See Tables 1, 3,
6, and 7c.
Natro-alunite.—In 1912 and 1913, 400 tons of natro-alunite was mined from
a small low-grade deposit at Kyuquot Sound. There has been no subsequent production. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Natural Gas.—Commercial production of natural gas began in 1954 to supply
the community of Fort St. John. Since the completion in 1957 of the gas plant at
Taylor and the 30-inch pipe-line to serve British Columbia and the northwestern
United States, the daily average volume of production has increased to more than
800,000,000 cubic feet (see Table 26). In 1969 there were 32 producing gas fields
(see Table 25).
The production shown in Tables 1, 3, and 7a is the total amount sold of
residual gas from processing plants plus dry and associated gas from the gas-
gathering system; that is, the quantity delivered to the main transmission-line. The
quantity is net after deducting gas used on leases, metering difference, and gas used
or lost in the cleaning plant. The quantity is reported as thousands of cubic feet at
standard conditions (14.4 pounds per square inch pressure, 60° F. temperature,
up to and including the year 1960, and thereafter 14.65 pounds per square inch
pressure, 60° F. temperature).
Full details of gross well output, other production, delivery, and sales are
given in tables in the Petroleum and Natural Gas chapter of this report.
Nickel.—One mine, the Pride of Emory near Hope, shipped nickel ore in
1936 and 1937 and began continuous production in 1958. Since 1960, bulk copper-
nickel concentrates have been shipped to Japan for smelting. See Tables 1, 3,
and 7c.
Palladium.—Palladium was recovered in 1928, 1929, and 1930 as a byproduct of the Trail refinery and is presumed to have originated in copper concentrates shipped to the smelter from the Copper Mountain mine. See Tables 1 and 7c.
Perlite.—In 1953 a test shipment of 1,112 tons was made from a quarry on
Francois Lake. There has been no further production. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Petroleum, Crude.—See Crude Oil.
Phosphate Rock.—Between 1927 and 1933, Cominco Ltd. produced 3,842
tons of phosphate rock for test purposes, but the grade proved to be too low for
commercial use. More test shipments were made in 1964 but there has been no
commercial production. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Plant Condensate.—Plant condensate is the hydrocarbon liquid extracted from
natural gas at gas-processing plants. See Tables 1,3, and 7a.
Platinum.—Platinum has been produced intermittently from placer streams in
small amounts since 1887, mostly from the Tulameen and Similkameen Rivers.
Placer platinum also has been recovered from Pine, Thibert, McConnell, Rainbow,
Tranquille, Rock, and Government Creeks; from Quesnel, Fraser, Cottonwood,
Peace, and Coquihalla Rivers; and from beach placers on Graham Island. Some
platinum recovered between 1928 and 1930 as a by-product of the Trail refinery is
presumed to have originated in copper concentrates shipped to the smelter from the
Copper Mountain mine. See Tables 1,3, and 7c.
Propane.—Propane is recovered from gas-processing plants at Taylor and
Boundary Lake, and at oil refineries. See Tables 1,3, and 7a.
A 24 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
Rock.—Production of rubble, riprap, and crushed rock has been recorded
since 1909. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e.
Sand and Gravel.—Sand and gravel are used as aggregate in concrete work of
all kinds. The output varies from year to year according to the state of activity of
the construction industry. See Tables 1,3, and 7e.
Selenium.—The only recorded production of selenium, 731 pounds, was in
1931 from the refining of blister copper from the Anyox smelter. See Tables 1
and 7c.
Silver.—Production of silver began in 1887 from silver-copper and silver-lead
ores in the Kootenays and has continued in this area to the present. Now, most
of the silver is a by-product of lead-zinc ores and nearly all is refined at Trail,
although some is exported with concentrates to American and Japanese smelters,
or may go to the Mint in gold bullion. Today the greatest single source of silver
is the Sullivan mine, which has recorded production since 1900. The only steady
producer that is strictly a silver mine is the Highland Bell at Beaverdell, in operation
since 1922. A former important mine, the Premier near Stewart, produced more
than 41,000,000 ounces of silver between 1918 and 1968. See Tables 1, 3, 6,
and 7b.
Sodium Carbonate.—Sodium carbonate was recovered between 1921 and 1949
from alkali lakes in the Clinton area and around Kamloops. There has been no
further production. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Stone.—Cut stone for building purposes is prepared from rock produced at
quarries in various parts of the Province when required. Two of the most productive
quarries have operated on Haddington and Nelson Islands. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e.
Structural Materials.—In Table 7e the value of $5,972,171 for unclassified
materials is the total for structural materials in the period 1886-1919 that cannot
be allotted to particular classes of structural materials or assigned to mining divisions,
and includes $726,323 shown against 1896 in Table 2 that includes unclassified
structural materials in that and previous years not assignable to particular years.
The figure $3,180,828 in Table 7e under " Other Clay Products " is the value in
the period 1886-1910 that cannot be allotted to particular clay products or assigned
to mining divisions. See Tables 1, 2, 3, 7a, and 7e.
Sulphur.—The production of sulphur has been recorded since 1916. From
1916 to 1927 the amounts include the sulphur content of pyrite shipped. From
1928 the amounts include the estimated sulphur content of pyrite shipped, plus the
sulphur contained in sulphuric acid made from waste smelter gases. The sulphur
content of pyrrhotite roasted at the Kimberley fertilizer plant is included since
1953. Since 1958, elemental sulphur recovered from the Jefferson Lake Petrochemical Co. plant at Taylor has been included. See Tables 1,3, and 7d.
Talc.—Between 1916 and 1936, talc was quarried at Leech River and at
Anderson Lake for dusting asphalt roofing. There has been no production since
1936. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d.
Tin.—Tin, as cassiterite, is a by-product of the Sullivan mine, where it has been
produced since 1941. The tin concentrate is shipped to an American smelter for
treatment. See Tables 1,3, and 7c.
Tungsten.—Tungsten, very largely as scheelite concentrates, was produced from
1937 to 1958, first from the Cariboo in 1937 and during World War II from the
Red Rose mine near Hazelton and the Emerald mine near Salmo. The Red Rose
closed in 1954 and the Emerald in 1958.
STATISTICS
A 25
A very small amount of wolframite came from Boulder Creek near Atlin. See
Tables 1, 3, and 7c.
Volcanic Ash.—The only recorded production of volcanic ash is 30 tons from
the Cariboo Mining Division in 1954. See Tables 1 and 7d.
Zinc.—Zinc was first produced in 1905. Currently the total value of all zinc
production is greater than that of any of the other metals, lead being in second place.
By far the greatest amount of zinc has been mined in southeastern British Columbia, at the Sullivan mine, and at mines near Ainsworth, Invermere, Moyie Lake,
Riondel, Salmo, Slocan, and Spillimacheen. Other production has come from mines
at Portland Canal and Tulsequah and is coming from Britannia and Buttle Lake.
The greatest zinc mine is the Sullivan, which has contributed about 75 per cent
of the total zinc production of the Province.
Records for the period 1905 to 1908 show shipments totalling 18,845 tons of
zinc ore and zinc concentrates of unstated zinc content. In 1958, revisions were
made to some yearly totals for zinc to adjust them for recovery of zinc from slag
treated at the Trail smelter. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b.

Note.—This table has changed somewhat through the years, so that the items are not everywhere directly
comparable. Prior to 1962 lode-mining referred only to gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc. Prior to 1964 some
expenditures for fuel and electricity were included with process supplies. Process supplies (except fuel) were
broadened in 1964 to include " process, operating, maintenance, and repair supplies . . . used in the mine/mill
operations; that is, explosives, chemicals, drill steel, bits, lubricants, electrical, etc. . . . not charged to Fixed
Assets Account . . . provisions and supplies sold in any company operated cafeteria or commissary." Exploration and development other than in the field of petroleum and natural gas is given, starting in 1966.

Departmental Work
CHAPTER III
ORGANIZATION
The organization of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources is
displayed in the diagram on page A 58.
ADMINISTRATION BRANCH
The Administration Branch, consisting of three divisions, Mining Titles, Petroleum and Natural Gas Titles, and Accounts, is responsible for the administration of
the Provincial laws regarding the acquisition of rights to minerals, coal, petroleum,
and natural gas, and deals with other departments of the Provincial service for the
Department or for any branch.
Mining Titles
Staff
R. H. McCrimmon Chief Gold Commissioner
E. J. Bowles Deputy Chief Gold Commissioner
J. G. B. Egdell Gold Commissioner, Vancouver
Gold Commissioners, Mining Recorders, and Sub-Mining Recorders, whose
duties are laid down in the Mineral Act and Placer-mining Act, administer these
Acts and other Acts relating to mining. Mining Recorders, in addition to their own
functions, may also exercise the powers conferred upon Gold Commissioners with
regard to mineral claims within the mining division for which they have been appointed. Similar duties may be performed by Mining Recorders with regard to
placer claims, but not in respect of placer-mining leases.
Recording of location and of work upon a mineral claim as required by the
Mineral Act and upon a placer claim or a placer-mining lease as required by the
Placer-mining Act must be made at the office of the Mining Recorder for the mining
division in which the claim or lease is located. Information concerning claims and
leases and concerning the ownership and standing of claims and leases in any mining
division may be obtained from the Mining Recorder for the mining division in which
the property is situated or from the Department's offices at Victoria, and Room 320,
890 West Pender Street, Vancouver 1. Officials in the offices of the Gold Commissioner at Victoria and the Gold Commissioner at Vancouver act as Sub-Mining
Recorders for all mining divisions. Sub-Mining Recorders, who act as forwarding
agents, are appointed at various places throughout the Province. They are authorized to accept documents and fees, and forward them to the office of the Mining
Recorder for the correct mining division. Officials and their offices in various parts
of the Province are listed on page A 59.
Central Records Offices ( Victoria and Vancouver)
Transcripts of all recordings in Mining Recorders' offices throughout the Province are sent to the office of the Chief Gold Commissioner in Victoria twice each
month, and include the names of lessees of reverted surveyed mineral claims. These
records and maps showing the approximate positions of mineral claims held by
record and of placer-mining leases may be consulted by the public during office hours
at Victoria and at the office of the Gold Commissioner at Vancouver, Room 320,
890 West Pender Street. The approximate position of mineral claims held by
record and of placer-mining leases is plotted from details supplied by locators.
During 1969, twenty-one investigations were carried out pursuant to section
80 of the Mineral Act. Six investigations with regard to certificates of work being
A 57
DEPARTMENTAL WORK
A 59
wrongfully or improperly obtained resulted in 49 certificates of work being cancelled.
Fifteen investigations with regard to mineral claims having been located or recorded
otherwise than in accordance with the Mineral Act resulted in 182 mineral claims
being cancelled.

Maps Showing Mineral Claims, Placer Claims, Placer-mining Leases,
and Map Indexes
From the details supplied by the locators, the approximate positions of mineral
claims held by record and of placer-mining leases are shown on mineral reference
maps which may be inspected in the central records offices of the Department of
Mines and Petroleum Resources in Victoria and Vancouver. Copies of these maps
may be obtained on request made to the Chief Gold Commissioner, Victoria (price,
$1.25 per print).
The boundaries of surveyed claims and leases are shown on the reference maps
and other maps of the British Columbia Department of Lands, Forests, and Water
Resources. Indexes to their published maps, reference maps, and manuscript maps
as well as indexes to air photographic cover are available through the Director,
Surveys and Mapping Branch, British Columbia Lands Service, Victoria.
Coal
Information concerning the ownership and standing of coal licences and coal
leases may be obtained upon application to the Chief Gold Commissioner, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Victoria. Maps showing location of coal
licences and coal leases are also available upon application and payment of the
required fee.
Licences Coal Revenue, 1969
Fees $14,798.00
Rental 63,807.90
Total
$78,605.90
During 1969, 381 coal licences were issued, totalling 226,514 acres. As of
December 31, 1969, a total of 760 coal licences, amounting to 422,178 acres, were
held in good standing.

Petroleum and Natural-gas Titles
Staff
R. E. Moss Chief Commissioner
W. W. Ross Deputy Chief Commissioner
This Division of the Administration Branch is responsible for the administration
of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act and the collecting of revenue from fees, rents,
dispositions, and royalties. Information concerning all forms of title issued under
the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act may be obtained upon application to the office
of the Chief Commissioner, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Victoria. Maps showing the locations of all forms of title issued under the Petroleum
and Natural Gas Act are available, and copies may be obtained upon application to
the office of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Victoria. Monthly
land reports and monthly reports listing additions and revisions to permit-location
maps and listing changes in title to permits, licences, and leases, and related matters
are available from the office of the Chief Commissioner upon application and payment of the required fee.
During the year there were four dispositions of Crown reserve petroleum and
natural-gas rights resulting in tender bonus bids of $21,646,451.54.
As of December 31, 1969, 41,557,220 acres or approximately 64,933 square
miles, a decrease of 1,999,588 acres over the 1968 total, of Crown petroleum
and natural-gas rights, issued under the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act, were held
in good standing by operators ranging from small independent companies to major
international ones. The form of title held, total number issued, and acreage in each
case were as follows:—

Samples
A reasonable number of samples are assayed without charge for a prospector
who makes application for free assays and who satisfies the Chief Analyst that
prospecting is his principal occupation during the summer months. A form for use
in applying for free assays may be obtained from the office of any Mining Recorder.
During 1969 the chemical laboratory in Victoria issued reports on 2,437
samples from prospectors and Departmental engineers. A laboratory examination
of a prospector's sample generally consists of the following: (1) A spectrographic
analysis to determine if any base metals are present in interesting percentages; (2)
assays for precious metals and for base metals shown by the spectrographic analysis
to be present in interesting percentages. The degree of radioactivity is measured
on all samples submitted by prospectors and Departmental engineers; these radiometric assays are not listed in the table below.
The laboratory reports were distributed in the following manner among prospectors who were not grantees, prospectors who were grantees under the Prospector's
Grub-stake Act, and Departmental engineers:—

Samples submitted to the laboratory for identification are examined by the
Mineralogical Branch of the Department. During the year, 65 such samples were
examined.
Reports were issued on 25 samples submitted by the Petroleum and Natural
Gas Branch. Fifteen of these were samples of formation waters from wells being
drilled for gas and oil in the Province, and four were crude-oil samples of the same

origin. In addition, five samples of material from two suspected oil seeps were
examined, and oily black particles were examined and found to contain metallic
lead.
Reports were issued on 205 samples of a miscellaneous nature.
For the Purchasing Commission, reports were issued on 21 samples of coal
submitted for proximate analysis and calorific value. Three samples of detergents
were examined for their content of phosphorous pentoxide.
For the Department of Recreation and Conservation, Fish and Wildlife Branch,
11 water samples were examined for their trace metal contents.
For the Department of Agriculture, Field Crops Branch, 22 potato extracts
were examined for their trace-metal contents, one gypsum sample was analysed,
and the iron content of a water sample was determined.
For the Department of Highways, Materials Testing Branch, nine samples of
water were examined.
For the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Inspection Branch,
one smoke bomb was identified. For the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch, one
rosin sample was identified.
For the Queen's Printer, one sample of type metal was examined by spectrograph.
For the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources, Forest Protection,
two fire-fighting chemicals were analysed for their ammonium sulphate contents, and
three others for their diammonium phosphate contents. The pH and hardness of
water from 35 lakes were determined. For Engineering Services, the chloride contents of two cement samples was determined. For the Groundwater Division, a
drilling slurry and two water samples were examined. For the Water Rights Branch,
three water samples were examined, and in addition, another water sample for the
Comptroller of Water Rights.
For British Columbia Health Services, Pollution Control Branch, one sediment
and one water were examined for their iron contents, and 11 other waters were
examined for trace metals.
For the City of Victoria, Smoke Inspection, determination was made of the
weights of residue and soluble salts collected in 63 bottles of water placed in various
locations in the city. One scale sample was also identified.
For citizens of the Province, four coal samples and three water samples were
analysed, and a sample of peat was examined.
X-ray Powder Diffraction Analyses
One hundred and eleven analyses of this type were performed for identification
purposes.
Examinations for Assayers
Provincial Government examinations for certificates of efficiency were held in
May and December. As a result of the May examination, eight candidates passed
and eight failed. In the December examination, one candidate was granted a supplemental and nine failed.

The Board conducts written examinations in various mining centres for applicants for underground shiftboss certificates. The Board is also empowered to grant
provisional certificates without examination and under such conditions as the Board
considers necessary.
Grub-staking Prospectors
Under the authority of the Prospectors' Grub-stake Act the Department has
provided grub-stakes each year since 1943 to a limited number of applicants able
to qualify. Grub-stakes up to $500 for food, shelter, and clothing, plus a reasonable
travelling allowance, are available to a limited number of qualified prospectors who
undertake to prospect in British Columbia in areas considered favourable by the
Department in accordance with a long-range plan for the development of the Province. Experienced prospectors may be granted a maximum of $300 for travelling
expenses if prospecting is to be done in remote areas where air transportation is
necessary.
Application forms and terms and conditions under which grub-stakes are
granted may be obtained from D. R. Morgan, Senior Inspector, Department of
Mines and Petroleum Resources, Victoria.
Samples and specimens received from grub-staked prospectors are analysed
spectographically, assayed, and tested for radioactivity. Mineralogical identifications are made on request.

DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 67
In 1969, 46 applications were received and 27 grub-stakes were authorized.
One grantee was unable to go out, and his initial payment was returned. Grantees
who were unable to complete the terms and conditions of the grant received only
partial payment. Seven prospectors were given grants for the first time. Four
grantees proved to be unsatisfactory.
D. H. Rae interviewed applicants in Vancouver and contacted 23 grantees in
the field where he gave advice and direction to those who needed it. The following
notes comprise Mr. Rae's summaries of the prospecting activities and results. They
are based on observations made by him in the field and from information contained
in the diaries of the grantees.
Alberni Mining Division.—In the Gretchen Creek valley (on the north side of
Great Central Lake), spotty copper mineralization with magnetite occurs in volcanic
rocks and greenstone. Small rock outcrops containing some chalcopyrite were found
on both the north and south sides of View Lake. In the Coleman Creek area (off
Alberni Canal), minor mineralization by chalcopyrite and pyrite was investigated.
In the Thunder Mountain area, spotty chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization occurs
in greenstone and volcanics.
Cariboo Mining Division.—In the Pinegrove Creek valley, minor chalcopyrite
and pyrite mineralization was prospected; in the Heyde Creek area, much overburden was encountered; off the Bowron Lake road, pyritized greenstone was observed; and at the north end of McLeod Lake, deep overburden was reported.
A base camp was established at Le Bourdais Lake, about 50 miles northeast of
Williams Lake, and eight weeks were spent prospecting and soil sampling in the area
within reach of the lake. During the 1968 season a large piece of high-grade chalcopyrite float was found on the lakeshore, but no further material was found and the
source of the float was not located. The area northwest of the lake is underlain by
black to grey limestone showing some pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization. On the
west side, back from the lakeshore, exposures of grey limestone and green andesite
were found, and along the lakeshore the outcrops were mainly limestone, andesite,
and pyritized argillite, with some chert, greenstone, and schist, along with some basic
rocks. A short distance back from the lakeshore very few outcrops were found.
Nothing of importance was found in the entire area.
Some work was done in the Francis Lake area, southeast of Prince George; on
the north side of the lake outcrops of pegmatite were prospected; on the northwest
side more outcrops of pegmatite occur, along with monzonite and some small gossans; some inconclusive soil sampling was done in this area. On the southwest side
some minor mineralization in the granite intrusive was observed, and a contact zone
between granite and altered sediments shows traces of copper mineralization; on the
south side of the lake the contact zone shows some barren quartz veins. On Government Creek, quartz-monzonite float shows minor molybdenite mineralization; some
work was also done in the Willow River area. In the Nechako valley near Prince
George several gossans and minor occurrences of diatomite were investigated. Up
Dome Creek, various rock outcrops were examined, but nothing of interest was
found. In the Baldy Hughes area very few outcrops were found; 6 miles east of
Baldy Hughes road construction had exposed volcanic rocks. Near Tacheeda Lake
and in the Tacheeda Creek valley, quartz stringers were found in sedimentary rock;
at Teapot Mountain, outcrops of fine-grained andesite were reported. Some granite
outcrops were found in the Saxton Lake area. In the Ptarmigan Creek valley, float
containing both chalcopyrite and malachite was picked up, but the source of the
float was not located. In the Sugarbowl Mountain area, minor mineralization was
observed in outcrops of sandstone, and some inconclusive testing of creek water was
done. South of Nazul Lake, serpentinized peridotite was found.
A 68 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
Clinton Mining Division.—Some work was done in the Leon Creek area where
outcrops of quartzite, dolomite, and marble occur. Near Kelly Lake, malachite
stain and narrow pyritized quartz stringers were found associated with two granite
contacts. Outcrops of serpentine, basalt, and volcanic ash were also seen.
Fort Steele Mining Division.—In the Ezekiel Creek valley, granite outcrops
show some barren-looking quartz veins; pyritized outcrops of slate were examined
in a creek bed; and some minor occurrences of chalcopyrite were reported.
Golden Mining Division.—In the Whitetail Lake area some occurrences of
gypsum were prospected. Considerable time was spent in the wide Dutch Creek
valley checking outcrops and soil sampling. This work covered both the Copper
Creek valley and the Rock Creek valley. Up Mineral Creek, widespread but narrow
occurrences of barite were investigated. Very little useful information on these
areas was submitted.
Kamloops Mining Division.—Some work was done on the east side of Adams
Lake, opposite Skwaam Bay, and a group of claims was staked.
Liard Mining Division.—A base camp was established on the west side of Dease
Lake, about a mile south of Porter Landing, and considerable work was done in the
area west, southwest, and northwest of the camp. Close to the lake there were some
rock outcrops, but the overburden was deep and covered a wide area. In the Thibert
Creek valley, minor traces of copper and iron sulphides were found; some barren-
looking quartz float was picked up, and granitic outcrops were examined. Near
Delure Creek, traces of sulphide mineralization were observed and outcrops of slate
were examined. On the east side of Delure Creek, exposures of granite, serpentine,
and greenstone with quartz stringers were prospected. Nothing of importance was
reported in this area. South of the camp, halfway down the lakeshore, numerous
rock outcrops were examined and small amounts of pyrrhotite were found. On the
east side of Dease Lake, much overburden and heavy undergrowth are present. Outcrops of sedimentary rocks and serpentine were examined. One prospector, Walter
Walcow, died of a heart attack in Cassiar hospital after doing some heavy work in
preparing to cross Dease Lake to his prospecting area. In spite of this his partner
took over and carried on the projected work.
Lillooet Mining Division.—Some work was done on the north side of the Yala-
kom River where pyritized rock outcrops were sampled. In the Marshall Creek area
some minor copper mineralization was reported.
In the Cayoosh Creek valley along a forestry access road considerable pyrite
and pyrrhotite were found in silicified schist; some fairly good values in gold were
found in this material.
Nanaimo Mining Division.—In the Buttle Lake area close to the edge of Strathcona Park some copper stain was found in a rock cut along the road, and outcrops
of basalt show minor amounts of native copper. At the top of the ridge above the
rock cut, two fine-grained dykes cut through the underlying basalt; both dykes
showed some native copper and copper sulphides but assays of samples taken were
very low. At the south end of Quinsam Lake the diorite bluffs show minor magnetite, chalcopyrite, and malachite mineralization. Volcanic rocks are exposed along
a fault zone and show narrow stringers of magnetite. Outcrops of basalt in this area
also show some chalcopyrite in narrow quartz stringers. Some exposures of crystalline limestone were also examined.
On Mount Arrowsmith, claims were staked to cover an area showing strong
copper mineralization.
In the Salmon River area, wide outcrops of limestone were carefully sampled.
In the Holberg Inlet area, a base camp was established on Hushamu Creek on
the north side of the inlet, and a considerable amount of line-cutting, soil sampling,
DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 69
and surface prospecting and geological investigation was done. The underlying rocks
are mainly tuff, various other volcanics, and greywacke along with some Bonanza
Group rocks. On the south side of the inlet, outcrops of volcanics show minor chalcopyrite and copper carbonates. Some quartz-feldspar outcrops were examined near
Coal Harbour. Heavy undergrowth and deep overburden hampered this work very
considerably.
Nelson Mining Division.—In the Kloosh Creek valley, slate and shale outcrops
were reported along the pyritized argillite showing minor copper mineralization;
pyritized quartzite was also examined and some encouraging geochemical anomalies
were mapped.
Up Cultus Creek, argillite float showing copper mineralization was picked up,
and heavily oxidized limy rocks showing specks of chalcopyrite were investigated by
trenching, but nothing of importance was uncovered.
In the Midge Creek area some prospecting on fissure veins in granodiorite was
completed, and trenching was done on an oxidized zone showing considerable quartz
and manganese dioxide (pyrolusite) and carrying erratic values in gold.
In the Trail Creek area, a small mineralized zone was investigated. Some work
was done along Kelly Creek and near Champion Lakes, but nothing was reported.
In the Erie Lake area, near Charbonneau Creek and in the Record Creek valley,
outcrops of granite and limestone were examined. At Kelly Mountain many outcrops of sedimentary rocks were reported. Sedimentary rocks also underlie much
of the Champion Creek area. Nothing was reported from the Marsh Creek valley,
although some work was done there. Near Blizzard Mountain a fault zone was prospected. Nothing of interest was seen in the Erie Creek area, but at Dominion Mountain some float containing galena and chalcopyrite was picked up.
South of Boundary Lake, a low-grade, mineralized zone was exposed by surface
stripping. Along the Priest River, the underlying rocks are mainly limestone, diorite, and schist, and in this area small pockets of galena and chalcopyrite were prospected. Fairly good assays in silver were reported where tetrahedrite was visible in
and near a bed of grey limestone.
On flat terrain near Lister, open-cutting was done on a series of quartz veins
showing patches of heavy iron and copper sulphides. Some fairly good assays were
obtained from samples taken of this material.
New Westminster Mining Division.—In the Agassiz area, on a high ridge west
of the town, limestone bluffs show minor chalcopyrite mineralization in quartz
stringers, and rhyolite float picked up here showed specks of molybdenite. On the
east side of Bear Mountain a 12-foot width of fine-grained limestone showed some
molybdenite and chalcopyrite mineralization.
Some work was done in the ChiUiwack River valley where outcrops of limestone, schist, and granite were examined. Some gold colours were found in the
gravel beds of two small creeks flowing into this river, and float containing small
specks of chalcopyrite was picked up.
In the Coquihalla River valley, at Fifteen Mile Creek, copper stain was found
along a granite-serpentine contact.
A base camp was established at Kwoiek Lake, at the head of Kwoiek Creek,
which flows easterly into the Fraser River a few miles north of Boston Bar. Access
to the area by way of an old trail up the creek valley was very rough and hazardous
and the whole area was found to be a rugged one for prospecting. The underlying
rocks are mainly various phases of diorite with lesser amounts of sedimentary rocks
and some schist. Some barren quartz stringers were found in the schist. Heavy
boulders of barren, rusty quartz were found in the creek bottom. A wide belt of
A 70 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
serpentine was examined. It contains some fairly wide quartz veins showing crystals
of pyrite and some sericitization. Zones of quartzite and serpentized basic rocks,
some fine-grained hornblende diorite, and graphitic phyllite were also reported.
Nothing of economic importance was discovered in this area.
In the Hicks Creek and Alouette Lake areas, outcrops of pyritized granite were
examined. On the west side of Harrison Lake some lead-zinc mineralization in
greenstone was reported and 10 mineral claims were staked. The Cartmell Creek
area was found to be underlain mainly by greenstone and schist; at Simms Creek
iron pyrite was found in limestone. Disseminated copper mineralization was prospected near Weaver Lake.
Near Greendrop Lake the underlying granite shows some narrow quartz
stringers carrying some galena. A short time was spent up the Siwash Creek valley,
on the east side of the Fraser River, where outcrops of schist, serpentine, and pyrox-
enite were examined.
Omineca Mining Division.—Some work was done in the Lome Creek area.
Northwest of Perow, considerable work was done in the valley adjacent to Byman Creek. Float containing chalcopyrite and pyrite was found in an area underlain
by andesite and mixed types of volcanic rocks; minor arsenopyrite and limonite
mineralization was reported, but nothing of commercial interest was found. At the
head of Byman Creek, reddish-coloured andesite, some conglomerate, odd outcrops
of porphyry, rhyolite, and other volcanics showing traces of copper mineralization
were prospected. Nothing of real interest was examined.
A logged-off area, well supplied with logging access roads, and located about
10 miles northwest of Wistaria, was fairly well prospected; exposures of volcanic
rocks showing minor pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization were sampled. The assay
returns were very low. West of Shelford Hills, narrow quartz stringers in andesitic
rocks show some chalcopyrite; outcrops of mixed volcanic rocks and shale were reported, and a large gossan was prospected. Some exposures of basalt were observed. Nothing of economic interest was found in the entire area.
Up Tahtsa Reach, some time was spent searching for an area known to contain
some copper showings. Soil and rock samples were taken. The underlying rocks
were reported to be granite and basalt with quartz stringers. A contact zone showing some mineralization was prospected, and 10 mineral claims were staked covering
an area where good copper float had been found.
Considerable work was done on a group of claims staked late in 1968 on the
north side of Tchentlo Lake, a few miles from the west end of the lake. In fractures
in diorite near the contact with the Cache Creek series, sufficient chalcopyrite and
molybdenite mineralization is present to warrant a programme of stripping, drilling,
and blasting. The result of this work warrants more intensive exploration in 1970.
The mineralization is spread over a wide area, 2,600 feet by 800 feet, and the geochemical work done by one mining company gave good results. On the north side
of Chuchi Lake some work was done on rock exposures showing minor mineralization of copper, lead, and zinc. Near Klawli Lake the area is underlain by volcanics
and granite showing traces of copper mineralization.
On the north side of Tchentlo Lake a short distance up the hill from Gidegingla
Lake an extensive mineralized zone was located close to the contact between diorite
and Takla volcanics. This zone was opened up by drilling and blasting, and the
sampling indicated good values in copper across mining widths. Further work is
warranted on these claims. North of the east end of Chuchi Lake a narrow shear
zone shows minor copper, lead, and zinc mineralization. South of the river connecting Chuchi and Tchentlo Lakes, outcrops of coarse granodiorite contained minor
amounts of disseminated pyrite. Some work was also done east of Klawli River,
DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 71
along a contact between Takla volcanics and diorite, where low assays in copper
were obtained.
On Diamond Island in the Nechako River some old open cuts were examined,
but nothing was found. The area close to the Kenny Dam was found to be underlain
by volcanic rocks. Near Sinkut Mountain, exposures of serpentinized peridotite
were investigated.
Some prospecting was done in the McConnell Lakes area. Two mineralized
zones showing interesting values in copper were discovered, but no further information is available.
Revelstoke Mining Division.—Considerable work was done from a base camp
established alongside a logging-mining road about 6 miles south of Ferguson. South
of Nettie Lake Mountain, prospecting was done where outcrops of chlorite schist
and quartz veins in argillite occurred; some of these veins showed minor amounts of
galena. North of Nettie Lake Mountain, the underlying rocks were mainly phyllite,
argillite, and quartzite, with minor amounts of limestone. Near Triune Mountain,
outcrops of limestone, schist, and quartzite were examined. In the Index Creek
area the underlying rock appeared to be phyllite. On Silvercup Mountain, outcrops
of phyllite and sericite schist and quartz veins in quartzite were prospected. Along
Ferguson Creek some old properties were examined where the principal rocks were
peridotite showing some short-fibre but brittle asbestos. A limestone-slate contact
was also checked over. Near the old Molly Mac mine, argillaceous limestone was
observed. Up Bunker Hill Creek, phyllite, argillite, and limestone were found, and
in the Bunker Hill mine area claims were staked on a phyllite-limestone contact.
Similkameen Mining Division.—In the Treasure Mountain area, basic rock
outcrops were examined; a serpentine belt in the Britton Creek area was prospected;
outcrops of schist and argillite were examined in the Lawless Creek valley; and
some work was done between lim Kelly and Railroad Creeks, where outcrops of
diorite were reported. In the Shawatum Mountain area up Nepopekum Creek,
pyritized andesite showing mineralization of pyrite and galena was sampled. Assay
returns were very low.
Slocan Mining Division.—In the Duncan River area a mineralized zone in
limestone was reported, and sheared diorite showed minor mineralization of galena
with specks of tetrahedrite.
Vancouver Mining Division.—In the Squamish area, on the edge of Garibaldi
Park, minor copper mineralization was reported in the underlying volcanics.
Vernon Mining Division.—Up Bouleau Creek, a tributary of Whiteman Creek,
the rock outcrops were dark-coloured volcanics. At Bouleau Lake, volcanics were
reported and a rhyolite-gabbro contact was prospected.
Victoria Mining Division.—Near Francis Lake, close to the Nitinat River,
some copper float was picked up, but its source was not found.
Mining Roads and Trails
Provision is made in the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources Act
whereby the Minister may, with the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council,
authorize the expenditure of public funds for the construction or repair of roads and
trails into mining areas. Assistance on a half-cost basis may also be provided on
roads and trails to individual properties.
Requests for road and trail assistance must be made to the Department before
the commencement of work. The type of access upon which assistance may be given
depends upon the value of the property, the stage of development, and the amount
of work to be done. A trail is sometimes sufficient for initial exploration, and a
A 72 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
tractor-road may be adequate for preliminary work. Subsequent development might
warrant assistance on the construction of a truck-road. A carefully drawn sketch
or plan of the location of the road is required to be submitted and, where warranted
by the amount of assistance requested, a report on the property by a professional
geological or mining engineer may be required. An engineer from the Department
may be required to report on the property before a grant is made and to inspect
the road after the work has been done.
The total mileages and expenditures under " Grants in Aid of Mining Roads
and Trails "during the 1969/70 fiscal year were as follows:—
Roads— Miles Cost
Construction 143 $234,906.25
Maintenance 336 97,984.81
Trails—
Maintenance 1.25 500.00
Bridges—
Construction 69,389.83
Maintenance 15,500.00
Total $418,280.89
Work was continued on the Stewart-Cassiar road. Construction of this road
was initially financed under the " Roads to Resources " agreement between the Governments of Canada and British Columbia. Total expenditure on the road to date
is $20,936,968.38. The Federal Government's contribution of $7,500,000 was expended by the end of September, 1967, and since that time the whole cost of construction has been provided by the Provincial Government.
The construction is done by contract, and is supervised by the Department of
Highways on behalf of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. Two
major contracts were in progress during 1969—Projects 1391 and 1702. Further
road construction was done under Project 1391, covering the 29.08-mile section
between Burrage River and Ningunsaw River, contract for which was awarded to
Ben Ginter Construction Company in November, 1965, and started the following
year. The project was 73 per cent completed by the end of 1969. Project 1702,
covering construction of 38.10 miles of road between the south and north Bell-
Irving Crossings and clearing and grubbing the North Bell-Irving Crossing and the
Ningunsaw River was 60 per cent completed by the end of 1969. There was no
major bridge construction in 1969.
MINERALOGICAL BRANCH
The function of the Mineralogical Branch is to assist in the development and
use of the Province's mineral resources by making a variety of geological studies,
publishing data concerning mineral occurrences and their potential, by collecting
and storing geological and statistical data and making it available to the public, and
by recording the activities of the industry. The Branch is capable of supplying general geological information as well as specific information regarding mineral deposits
and the mineral industry. It provides rock and mineral identification of specimens
submitted by prospectors and others, contributes lectures in courses on prospecting,
participates in scientific discussions, and arranges educational exhibits.
Field work by officers of the Mineralogical Branch includes areal geological
mapping, detailed geological examinations of mineral deposits and mining camps,
and examination of properties of current exploration interest. The results of major

mapping projects are published in a series of bulletins, and shorter reports are published annually in a newly instituted series entitled Geology, Exploration, and Mining
in British Columbia.
Editing of the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources, of Geology, Exploration, and Mining in British Columbia, 1969, and other
publications is the responsibility of Stuart S. Holland. Copy for printing is prepared by and under the direction of Mrs. Rosalyn J. Moir.

molybdenum in various parts of the Province preparatory to publishing a bulletin
on the occurrence of these metals.
Five field assistants were employed on the various projects.
Publications
Technical reports of the Mineralogical Branch were published in Geology,
Exploration, and Mining in British Columbia, 1969. In addition, the Branch published Bulletin No. 56, Geology and Geochronology of the Guichon Creek Batholith,
by K. E. Northcote, and also Map 69-1, " Geological Compilation Map of Smithers,
Hazelton, and Terrace Areas," by N. C. Carter and R. V. Kirkham.
Six scientific and educational reports and papers resulting directly from their
work as staff geologists were also published by officers of the Branch.
Copies of seven mineral inventory maps covering the Queen Charlotte Islands,
Vancouver Island, and the Princeton area and Xerox copies of the relevant inventory
cards were made available in 1969. Details of this material may be requested from
the Chief of the Mineralogical Branch, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Douglas Building, Victoria.
Rock and Mineral Sets
Sets of rocks and minerals are available for sale to prospectors, schools, and
residents of British Columbia. Information regarding them may be obtained from
the Chief of the Mineralogical Branch, Douglas Building, Victoria.
Airborne Magnetometer Mapping

Geological Survey of Canada, 100 West Pender Street, Vancouver 3.
The basic data used in compiling the maps are on open file at the Geological
Survey of Canada in Ottawa, where interested parties may arrange to obtain them
for special processing.
The Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (Observatories Branch)
operates a magnetic observatory at Victoria. Services available to geophysical
exploration companies and other interested agencies include:—
(a) Three-hour range indices of magnetic activity; these provide a measure
of the intensity of the magnetic disturbance (on a 0-9 scale) for each
three-hour period. The monthly listings of these indices are normally
mailed within a few days after the end of each month.
(b) Copies of magnetograms are available through a local duplicating firm
at a charge of $7.50 for a monthly set. These recordings of the magnetic
field can be used to control field surveys, in particular to correct for the
diurnal changes and magnetic disturbances. The area over which this
control is valid depends on the required accuracy; for ±5 gamma accuracy, it covers an elliptic region reaching roughly as far as longitude
118 degrees to the east and latitude 50.5 degrees to the north.
Further details can be obtained by writing to the Officer-in-charge, Victoria
Magnetic Observatory, R.R. 7, Victoria.
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS BRANCH
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch is responsible for the administration
of the Drilling and Production Regulations made pursuant to the Petroleum and
Natural Gas Act. These regulations, made by Order in Council 308, dated February 3, 1969, supersede the former Regulations Governing the Drilling of Wells and
the Production and Conservation of Oil and Natural Gas, and the Regulations
Establishing Gas-Oil Ratio Adjustment Factors, Oil Production Allowables, Overproduction and Underproduction.
The regulations provide for the use of efficient and safe practices in the drilling,
completion, and abandonment of wells; for the orderly development of fields discovered within the Province; and for the conservation and prevention of waste of
oil and natural gas within the reservoir and during production operations.
Every well location must be approved by the Branch before the well is drilled.
All operations related to drilling and production are inspected frequently to ensure
compliance with the provision of all regulations, including such features as facilities
and practices used, adequate plugging of abandoned wells, surface restoration of
A 76 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
well-sites, well-testing and measurement procedures employed, disposal of produced
water, protection of installations against fire, and general conservation.
Investigations are made of complaints of property damage resulting from
drilling and producing operations, and from geophysical work programmes.
Comprehensive records of all drilling and producing operations are maintained
at Victoria and are made available for study, or are published, for the use and benefit
of anyone interested in oil or gas development in British Columbia. Samples of bit
cuttings, as well as all core, obtained from every well drilled in the Province, are
collected and retained at the field office located at Charlie Lake, where they may be
studied by interested persons. Charlie Lake is adjacent to the Alaska Highway,
about 5 miles northwest of Fort St. John.
Detailed reservoir engineering and geological studies are conducted on the
basis of technical information submitted to the Branch from operating companies,
as well as information acquired through field work by Branch personnel. Estimates
of the reserves of oil and natural gas are made annually, at the end of December.
Crown-owned oil and natural-gas rights are evaluated prior to being disposed of
by public tender.
Administration
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch is subdivided for administrative purposes into three sections. These sections and their supervisors are as follows: Development Engineering, W. L. Ingram; Reservoir Engineering, A. J. Dingley; and
Geology, S. S. Cosburn.
The field office at Charlie Lake, which includes the core and sample laboratory,
is supervised by the District Engineer, D. L. Johnson.

Board of Arbitration
Chairman: A. W. Hobbs, solicitor, Department of the Attorney-General.
Members: S. G. Preston, agrologist, Department of Agriculture; J. D. Line-
ham, engineer, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources.
The Board of Arbitration, established under the authority of the Petroleum and
Natural Gas Act, grants right of entry by oil and gas companies upon alienated land
and determines conditions of entry and compensation therefor. It also terminates
the right of entry when a company has ceased to use the land.
Three right-of-entry orders were made in 1969. Two of those applications,
and one carried over from 1968, were heard at a hearing held at Fort St. John on
September 22nd. The three cases were settled by Board awards dated November 3rd.
An application for right-of-entry was received on December 11th. A right-of-
entry order was made on December 15th and the application will be heard in 1970.
Conservation Committee
Chairman: K. B. Blakey, Deputy Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources.
Members: M. H. A. Glover, economist, Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce; N. D. McKechnie, geologist, Department of Mines
and Petroleum Resources, resigned on May 15th and has not been replaced.
The Conservation Committee is responsible to the Minister of Mines and
Petroleum Resources and was established originally on October 11, 1957, under
the authority of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act. Its duties are as follows:—
(1) To act as an advisory committee to the Minister on such questions of
conservation that the Minister, in writing, shall refer to the Committee
for consideration and recommendation.
(2) To deal with such questions of conservation and production in the various
fields of British Columbia as may arise between two or more operators in
the same field or between operators and the Branch when appeals on such
questions are made to the Minister and referred by him to the Committee.
The Conservation Committee did not meet in 1969.

PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 83
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS BRANCH
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch, under the direction of the Chief of
the Branch, is responsible for administration of the Drilling and Production Regulations. The regulations specify the conditions which must be employed for
efficiency and safe practice in the drilling, completion, and abandonment of wells;
for well spacing; prevention of waste; conservation; and all related matters.
GENERAL REVIEW
Production of crude oil and natural gas during 1969 continued their steady
increases that have occurred since completion of major pipe-line connections from
the northeastern corner of the Province. Gains in production compared to 1968
were 14.2 and 15.3 per cent respectively for oil and natural gas. Secondary recovery
schemes from the oilfields producing Triassic oil accounted for the majority of the
crude-oil production. Large increases in gas production resulted from further
developments in the northern fields producing from reservoirs of Devonian age.
Drilling and exploration activities fell off significantly, with no apparent change
expected in the immediate future. The drilling completed during 1969 failed to
make any significant discovery that would result in a large-scale development. This
decrease in drilling operations provided the Branch with the opportunity to review
assigned production allowables and reserve calculations and reoriented the field
staff to more emphasis on the inspection of the production facilities.
No major changes were made during 1969 to the pipe-line and marketing
installations in the Province.
FIELD OFFICE
The field office of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources is located
at Charlie Lake, British Columbia, near Mile 52 on the Alaska Highway. A sub-
office located in the Provincial Building at Fort Nelson is used periodically by the
field staff.
The field office staff is responsible for enforcement at the field level of the
Drilling and Production Regulations.
The Provincial standard for bottom-hole pressure-gauge calibration is located
at Charlie Lake. The new regulations, effective February 3, 1969, required that
any gauge to be used for sub-surface pressure measurement must be calibrated to
this standard before it can be lawfully used in British Columbia. During 1969,
465 pressure gauges were calibrated and calculated without charge, and a copy of
the results was forwarded to the respective companies.
During 1969, seven vehicles were driven a total of 118,318 miles to conduct
inspections and (or) perform surveys pertaining to the drilling and production
phase of the oil and gas industry. A specialized bottom-hole unit was employed to
conduct surveys on 78 wells. These surveys are used as a check on the pressure
data submitted by operating companies or for special studies conducted by Departmental personnel.
Continued fast growth of oil and natural-gas production claimed a large percentage of the inspections made by the field staff. Complete meter calibrations
were done on 166 gas meters, and an additional 773 gas meters were fast checked.
Twenty-two new gas-measurement sites were inspected, and the meter runs micro-
metered to ensure that they met with A.G.A. specifications for gas measurement.
Surface production equipment, storage facilities, and production batteries were
inspected on 105 occasions.
A 84 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
In compliance with the provisions of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act, 1965,
the field office staff supervised lease restoration on two abandoned sites.
Inspections were carried out at 220 drilling-sites and 1,520 producing or
abandoned leases. Six hundred and sixty-nine water-storage or disposal sites were
inspected during 1969, with the view to strictly enforcing the regulations pertaining
to the storage and disposal of produced formation water.
GEOLOGICAL SECTION
During 1969, the Geological Section interpreted, recorded, and filed geologic
data from northeastern British Columbia. New data were incorporated into the
sub-surface maps for determination of oil and gas reserves, land evaluations, permit
and lease work evaluation, and special projects. The main sources of information
for the geologic studies were permit and lease reports, submitted drilling and production data, well logs, samples, and core.
Geological data were interpreted in relation to the reservoir geology of the oil
and gas fields. Fields receiving the greatest attention were those producing from
the Halfway and Charlie Lake Formations in the Fort St. John area, and the Slave
Point and Pine Point Formations in the Fort Nelson area. Special projects were
undertaken to deal with numerous industry submissions. All approved well locations are classified by the Section according to the Lahee System, as defined by the
American Association of Petroleum Geologists. A summary of the wells classified
by the Lahee System is shown in Table 13. Six classifications are used that are
based upon the geological interpretation, which are described as follows: (1) New
field wildcat—drilled in a geological environment where hydrocarbons have not
yet been discovered; (2) new pool wildcat—drilled in a geological horizon where
other pools have been found but the geological conditions are such that searching
for a new pool is very hazardous; (3) outpost—drilled with the intent of extending
an already partly developed pool by a considerable distance; (4) and (5) deep-pool
and shallow-pool tests—drilled within the known limits of a pool with the intent of
searching for hydrocarbons below or above respectively the pool or producible
horizon; and (6) development—drilled with the intent of further exploiting the
pay horizon or pool within the area which has already been essentially proved for
production.
Geological Laboratories
Core and Well Samples
All cores from British Columbia wells must be preserved in labelled boxes
having an inside length not greater than 30 inches and must be delivered to the
geological laboratory for permanent storage. During 1969, 1,236 boxes of core
from 90 wells were received at the laboratory. At the end of 1969, 28,428 boxes
from 1,684 wells were being stored.
Unless otherwise directed, any operator who drills a well for petroleum or
natural gas is required to take a sample of drilled rock (bit cuttings) at least every
10 feet of depth. Each sample, consisting of several ounces of rock fragments, is
placed in a small bag at the well, labelled, and submitted to the geological laboratory, where it is washed and bottled.
Each 10-foot sample is divided, resulting in three complete sets of samples for
each well. One set is retained at the Charlie Lake sample library, one is sent to
headquarters at Victoria, and the other to the Institute of Sedimentary and Petroleum Geology, Geological Survey of Canada, in Calgary. The remainder of the

10-foot sample from the original sample-bag is retained at the laboratory for a
period of one year should further samples be required. The main sample-examination facilities are at Charlie Lake; limited facilities are available at Victoria.
The Charlie Lake sample library and the Geological Survey of Canada sample
library in Calgary each has a set of samples from wells drilled in British Columbia
since 1948; the Victoria sample library has samples from wells drilled since September, 1957. At the end of 1969 the Charlie Lake sample library contained
667,364 samples, while 665,725 samples were retained in the Victoria library.
During 1969, samples were received at the laboratory from 177 wells. A total
of 52,062 10-foot samples was washed and bottled in 1969.
Core and Sample Examination
A nominal fee is charged for the use of core- and sample-examination facilities
provided by the Department.
In 1969, 8,283 boxes of core from 475 wells were studied by oil company
personnel and other interested individuals. Cores from 30 wells were temporarily
removed from the laboratory by the operators for further studies. Samples from
21 wells were studied, using the laboratory facilities at Charlie Lake.
Since the core- and sample-examination laboratory at Charlie Lake was made
available to the public in February, 1961, 68,839 boxes of core have been removed
from the racks for examination.
Exploration
In northeastern British Columbia during 1969, 23 oil and gas companies
employed seismic crews for a total of 182 crew-weeks. During February, the most
active month, 12 crews were working. Two companies did gravity work in northeastern British Columbia and one company ran a magnetometer survey in northeastern British Columbia. Surface geological parties worked in northeastern British
Columbia and in the Stikine area. These exploration activities are listed in Tables
14 and 15.
Except for one exploratory test in the Bowser Basin, all the drilling for oil and
gas was confined to northeastern British Columbia. Of the 35 producing oil wells
completed in 1969, 1 was completed in the Mississippian, 2 in the Permian, 31 in
the Triassic, and 1 in the Cretaceous. Of the 40 gas wells, 9 were Devonian, 5
Permian, 15 Triassic, and 11 Cretaceous. All these potentially productive wells
were located in the plains area of northeastern British Columbia.
Twenty-six wells were drilled to Devonian horizons during 1969. The wells
FPC Peggo b-53-I and Pacific Cabin d-57-B discovered gas in the Slave Point
Formation, and Sulphur Point gas was discovered in new areas by Apache CPOG
IOE Clarke d-24-I and Mobil Sahtaneh c-70-I. Four development gas wells were
completed in the Slave Point of the Clarke Lake Field.
One Debolt Formation oil well was completed in the Blueberry area. Two
Belloy Formation oil wells and five Belloy gas wells were completed in the Stoddart
area. One of these, CDR Eagle 11-29-84-18 discovered a new Belloy oil pool.
Most of the drilling in northeastern British Columbia was to Triassic objectives,
and discoveries were made in the Halfway, Charlie Lake, and Baldonnel Formations.
The development drilling was mainly aimed at Triassic production in the Boundary
Lake field, the non-continuous Halfway trend, and in the Inga field. The numerous
Charlie Lake Stray sands are proving an added stimulus to Triassic exploration.
One oil well was completed in the Bluesky-Gething Formation and 11 gas wells
were completed in Upper and Lower Cretaceous strata.

RESERVOIR ENGINEERING SECTION
The Reservoir Engineering Section is responsible for determination of reservoir
and production characteristics of oil and gas pools in the Province. This involves
interpretation of reservoir pressure, rock and fluid properties, and production data.
The results of these studies are applied in making recommendations concerning the
approval of submissions from industry for improved recovery and other production
schemes, and also for estimating Provincial hydrocarbon and hydrocarbon-associated sulphur reserves.
The section ensures that requisite reservoir data are obtained, either by industry
or Branch personnel, and maintains files of these data. In addition, oil and gas
allowable production rates are established by the Section. Other responsibilities
of the Section include matters affecting conservation and correlative rights, approval
of measurement practices, and approval of produced water-disposal schemes.
Oil Allowables, M.P.R.s, and Improved Recovery Schemes
Maximum permissive rates (M.P.R.s) are assigned to all oil wells in the
Province, either as individual wells or for groups of wells in the form of project or
unit M.P.R.s. Single-well M.P.R.s are based on well-bore net-pay properties, while
project M.P.R.s are derived from mapped pore volume data and the estimated
recovery factor for the production scheme in effect. Monthly oil allowables are
established from M.P.R. values, and periodic checks are made to ensure that wells
and projects are being produced in accordance with regulations governing overproduction.
Section 74.03 of the Drilling and Production Regulations provides for the
carry-forward of oil allowable underproduction from one production period to the
next, provided this circumstance is caused by a situation not controllable by the
A 88 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
operator involved. During the year several requests for such a carry-forward were
approved. Under section 71.02 of the regulations, daily oil production cannot
exceed 125 per cent of the M.P.R. In connection with applications under section
74.03, requests were also received for waiver of section 71.02 to enable wells in the
Inga B pool and Stoddart field to make up underproduction. These requests were
not granted, since in the Branch's opinion all wells capable of exceeding their M.P.R.
would be able to make up the underproduction during the 1969/70 production
period.
A report is issued monthly, in which M.P.R.s are summarized by field and
operator. Table 16 presents individual well and project M.P.R.s as of December
31, 1969, while Maps 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 17, 19, and 20 show the areas included in project or unit M.P.R. approvals.
During 1969 a total of 43 single-well M.P.R.s was issued. This includes
revisions to 23 previously approved values due to re-evaluation of pertinent data or
changes in well spacing, and four interim M.P.R.s which were revised to permanent
status. As discussed in last year's report, during 1968 many project and single-well
M.P.R. reapplications were received in response to an attempt to obtain uniformity
in parameters included in M.P.R. calculations. By early 1969 these had all been
reviewed and, effective March 1, interim M.P.R.s were issued pending final exhaustive evaluation of the submissions. The interim M.P.R.s outstanding at the end
of 1969 are identified in Table 16. At the time these interim M.P.R.s were issued,
all project approvals were amended to conform with the requirements of the new
Drilling and Production Regulations which came into force on February 3, 1969.
Annual or semi-annual progress reports are now required for all projects, together
with brief monthly status reports detailing withdrawal balances.
In May, an application was received from Tenneco Oil & Minerals Ltd. for an
increase in M.P.R. for all wells operated by that Company in the Inga A pool, Inga
field. Following extensive review, the application was not approved due to lack of
substantiating data and the fact that formation of a unit in this pool was being
actively pursued.
At the end of 1968, a waterflood M.P.R. had been approved for Inga Unit
No. 1, but was not in effect since water injection had not commenced. Following
first water injection in lune, 1969, the M.P.R. became 7,064 stock tank barrels per
day as of June 1. This was later increased to an interim level of 7,400 stock tank
barrels per day following unit enlargement on August 1, 1969. The M.P.R. was
finally pegged at 7,246 stock tank barrels per day on October 1, 1969, following
completion of an infill drilling programme which provided additional reservoir data
leading to some modification of the pool maps.
At the beginning of 1969 an application by Pacific Petroleums Ltd. was under
review for increase in the M.P.R. allocated to Weasel Unit No. 2. This application
was occasioned by unit enlargement and some infill drilling leading to revised pool
maps. At the end of January the M.P.R. was set at 1,143 stock tank barrels per
day, to become effective when water injection into the project was commenced.
An alternative water-injection pattern was also approved during January. Initial
water injection into the project was in March, 1969.
During February, 1969, application was received from Pacific Petroleums Ltd.
for approval of three additional water-injection wells to be drilled in Peejay Unit
No. 1. Approval was granted immediately for two of the wells and the third was
approved following additional clarification of the reasons for the proposal.
In May, an application was received from Union Oil Company of Canada Ltd.
for permission to inject, into the well located in d-24-J/94-H-2, gas produced as
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 89
a result of oil production from the Halfway Sand in Milligan Creek Unit No. 1.
Following review of the relevant data, the scheme was approved at the end of June.
The proposal had been advertised in the Gazette during the intervening period and
had elicited no objections.
An application was received in August from Tenneco Oil & Minerals Ltd.
requesting approval for modification of the waterflood pattern in Weasel Unit No. 1.
Approval was granted.
At the end of August a request was received from Union Oil Company of
Canada Ltd. for an increase in the M.P.R. for the Aitken Creek Gething pool
project. It was claimed that pool performance to date was indicative of a higher
ultimate recovery factor than was currently being recognized in the M.P.R. calculation. Following extensive review, the M.P.R. was increased to 1,125 stock tank
barrels per day, to become effective on January 1, 1970.
One application for removal of oil allowable off-target penalty factor was
received during 1969. This was made by Texaco Exploration Company, and
related to the well in C-32-A/94-A-14 producing oil from the Dunlevy Sand. No
objections were made to the proposal to lift the penalty when it was advertised in
the Gazette. Consequently, the off-target penalty factor was removed, effective
March 1, 1969.
During the year the Reservoir Engineering Section examined two situations
involving lease-line problems in adjacent waterflood projects. The first of these
related to Weasel Units Nos. 1 and 2, and the allocation between these projects of
water injected at their common boundary. A mutually satisfactory solution was
obtained to this problem. The second problem arose because of a reservoir voidage
imbalance in the vicinity of the boundary between Peejay Unit No. 3 and the Peejay
Tenneco project. Reservoir-pressure survey data indicated the presence of a substantial pressure sink in this area which, if not corrected, would allow lease-line
drainage from Unit No. 3 and also result in reduced ultimate oil recovery from the
common oil pool. Various alternate solutions to the problem were examined by
the Branch and by the working-interest owners of the projects involved. The technically superior solution was to combine the projects under one operator, thus
allowing for optimum waterflood-pattern selection without regard to artificially
imposed lease-line considerations. This was the route adopted by the working-
interest owners, and by year-end negotiations which would lead to absorption into
Unit No. 3 of the Tenneco project were well advanced.
Associated and Solution Gas-conservation Schemes
Solution gas is always produced as a by-product of oil production. This gas
is dissolved in the oil at reservoir pressure and temperature conditions, but due to
decreases in these parameters as the oil is brought to the surface much of the dissolved gas is evolved. In many cases the volume of this gas, in excess of lease
equipment fuel requirements, is so small that it is not economical to install gathering
facilities to market the gas. This excess gas is flared. Many oil pools are discovered
in which the oil is originally overlain with gas, known as a gas cap. It is often
impossible to produce the oil without also producing some gas-cap gas, in addition
to the solution gas. This could be detrimental from the point of view of ultimate
oil recovery, since production of the gas cap reduces the reservoir energy available
to produce the oil.
Gas produced with oil can be conserved in two ways—either it can be collected
and marketed or it can be collected and injected back into the producing reservoir
or a storage zone. Conservation is encouraged by incentives. In the case of
A 90 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
schemes with marginal economics, a reduced royalty rate may be applied to gas
that is sold. Wells or projects that produce with a gas-oil ratio in excess of 1,000
standard cubic feet stock tank barrels have their allowable reduced by a factor which
is dependent on the level of gas-oil ratio (Division 89, Drilling and Production
Regulations). This factor may be modified if the gas is conserved, either by
reinjection or by marketing. However, in the case that gas-cap gas is to be marketed, the Branch needs to be satisfied that such concurrent production will not be
harmful to ultimate oil recovery.
At the beginning of 1969, two conservation schemes were in operation that
marketed solution gas, and five projects involving return of gas to the producing
reservoir were active. The gas-injection projects are included in Table 16. The
schemes involving gas sales were in effect in the Boundary Lake and Blueberry
fields. In the latter, solution gas from the Pacific-operated Debolt pool project is
collected and compressed along with gas-well gas from other pools in the field. Gas
not used as fuel or flared is then either delivered to the sales gas system or used
for gas-lifting at individual oil wells. The Boundary Lake system comprises a gas-
treating plant (for extraction of liquids) and services oil wells in the four waterflood
projects producing from the Boundary Lake Sand in this field.
At the end of 1968, Monsanto Oil Ltd. had been granted approval for relief
from gas-oil ratio penalty for Dunlevy Sand oil wells in a section of the Rigel field
(located in 19-87-16 W6M, 13 and 23-87-17 W6M). This approval was contingent on implementation of a gas sales-type conservation scheme. By the end of
1969 the scheme had not been put into effect, but firm plans were well advanced.
In December, 1969, two applications were received for approval of gas sales-
type conservation schemes. One, made by Canadian Superior Oil Ltd., concerned
collection of solution gas being produced from Inga Unit No. 1, the plan being to
collect separator and stock-tank-evolved gas, compress it, and market it through the
sales gas-line already passing through the north end of the unit carrying gas from
gas fields to the northwest of Inga. The proposal was being reviewed by the Reservoir Engineering Section at year-end. The second application was for a scheme to
be known as the " Northeast British Columbia Gas Gathering System," and was
made by Union Oil Company of Canada Ltd. as operator of the system. The proposal was to build a gas-line from the Westcoast Transmission Co. Ltd. terminal,
located in 21-87-15 W6M, generally northwest for some 43 miles. Operators of
properties along the route (from Currant in the south to Beatton River in the north,
see Fig. 3) were to be responsible for necessary collection and compression facilities
to deliver gas to the line at any of three injection points. At year-end the proposal
was still under review by the Reservoir Engineering Section.
Gas Allowables and Well Tests
The " daily gas allowables " or production rate limits (P.R.L.s) for gas wells
in the Province are established from the results of absolute open-flow potential
(A.O.F.) tests. These tests are witnessed by Branch field personnel and the data
collected are interpreted by the Reservoir Engineering Section to establish P.R.L.s
and also for use in reservoir studies.
Restriction of individual well production rates has not been deemed necessary
in some gas pools, and in these cases either Project Allowables have been issued, or
the pools' operators have approval to produce according to " Good Engineering
Practice" (G.E.P.). Table 17 presents A.O.F. test data, individual well P.R.L.s,
Project Allowables, and G.E.P. schemes in effect at December 31, 1969. The areas
included in the various Project Allowable and G.E.P. schemes are shown in Maps
3, 4,7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 18.
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 91
When the revised Drilling and Production Regulations came into force on
February 3, 1969, major changes in the testing requirements for gas wells became
effective. The specific regulations are included in Divisions 79 through 87. Because
of this and the desire to update testing procedures, the Reservoir Engineering Section
prepared a pamphlet entitled " Procedures for Gas-well Testing and Assignment of
Production Rate Limits." This was mailed to all companies operating in the Province under cover of a " Memo to All Operators," dated September 5, 1969. This
pamphlet consolidates all gas-well testing requirements, methods, schedules, and
P.R.L. calculations. Under these new procedures, the basic A.O.F. test for wells
in the Province is now the isochronal or modified isochronal test. Wells have to be
tested initially and after one year of production by either of these methods. All
wells operating during 1969 whose A.O.F. exceeded 8 million standard cubic feet
per day are required to be tested prior to the end of 1970, by one of these methods,
if not already so tested. Thereafter, annual static bottom-hole pressure measurements and single-point flow test data are required, with a full multipoint test every
fifth year. Wells with an A.O.F. less than 8 million standard cubic feet per day
require a single-point flow test every fifth year, together with annual static bottom-
hole pressure measurements. Testing schedules have been arranged so that meaningful reservoir pressure data are obtained from the various gas pools in the Province.
Daily gas allowables, effective on completion of the initial test or on October 1st,
in subsequent years, will be calculated from the results of multipoint or single-point
A.O.F. tests. Initially the P.R.L. will be 25 per cent of the A.O.F. Subsequently,
however, the P.R.L. will reflect a rate that produces an equivalent wellbore pressure
drawdown to that produced at initial reservoir conditions at the original P.R.L.
During 1969, several operator-proposed testing programmes were reviewed
and approved with modifications where necessary. Three new wells in the Sunrise
field were allowed to produce for a period of one month prior to being A.O.F. tested.
This concession was granted to allow clean-up of the wells, which were producing
completion fluids that hindered attempts to obtain meaningful A.O.F. test data.
Several wells were allowed to flare gas for the purpose of testing or obtaining gas
samples for analysis.
The study of the Baldonnel reservoir in the Inga field, incomplete at the end
of 1968, was finalized early in 1969. It was concluded that the gas accumulation
was separated from the down-dip oil. On this basis, P.R.L.s were issued for the
three wells completed as gas producers in the Baldonnel and for which A.O.F. test
data had been obtained during 1968.
At the end of 1968, an application was under consideration from Imperial Oil
Ltd. for establishment of Good Engineering Practice in the Dunlevy Sand, Rigel
field. Some apparent problems concerning equity between operators were successfully resolved and the project became effective on March 1st.
At the beginning of 1969 the Reservoir Engineering Section had under study
an application by Amarillo Oil Company (now Pioneer Exploration Ltd.) for
approval to produce Inga Sand zone gas wells in the Jeans West field. Additional
reservoir-pressure data in the area had been requested toward the end of 1968. It
was hoped that these data would assist in resolving whether or not the gas accumulation was connected to the adjacent oil pool in the Inga field. The data were
inconclusive, but additional drilling between the two fields indicated that the oil
and gas were most probably in communication. This, and the fact that objections
to the proposal were received from working-interest owners in Inga Unit No. 1,
resulted in further consultation with the applicant to determine the safeguards that
would be required before production could be allowed. The application was subsequently withdrawn, and the working-interest owners in the area proceeded to dis-
A 92 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT. 1969
cuss the practicality of forming a unit for the purpose of concurrently producing
the gas in conjunction with oil from Inga Unit No. 1. At year-end a concurrent
production system had been modelled for computer solution, and unitization negotiations were well in hand.
In July, an application was received from Pacific Petroleums Ltd. for approval
of production by Good Engineering Practice of gas wells in the Baldonnel and Halfway Zones in Beg and Beg West fields. The proposal was advertised in the Gazette
on July 24th and 31st, and no objections were received. Since there were no technical reservations involved, the scheme was approved, effective September 1, 1969.
In September, an application was received from Amoco Canada Petroleum
Company Ltd. requesting approval for a pool allowable for the Nahanni gas pool
in the Beaver River area. The submission was advertised in the Gazette on October
2nd and 9th. No objections were registered, and studies indicated no technical
reasons for withholding approval on a short-term basis, pending actual producing
history data. However, the productive area of this Nahanni pool extends into the
Yukon. Consequently, before a decision was made with respect to the submission,
it was considered advisable to contact the Resource Management Division of the
Federal Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. This was done
in order to arrange for complementary production rates between the " Federal " and
" Provincial" portions of the pool, and to collect data on which a decision could
be made regarding distribution of royalty from production under a " pool allowable "
scheme. As of the end of 1969, consultation was continuing, but no mutually
acceptable distribution of reserves had been arrived at.
A request was received from Mobil Oil Canada Ltd. for permission to produce
the well located in C-91-D/94-I-14 at rates in excess of its P.R.L., for a period
beginning in mid-October and extending until January 15, 1970. The reason for
the application was that an adjacent well (c-78-C/94-I-14) had developed a tubing
leak, and repair was not expected to be accomplished before mid-January. These
two wells are the only wells producing from the Pine Point pool in the Sierra area.
Since all productive acreage is leased by Mobil Oil, no equity considerations arose,
and total production rate from the pool was to remain stable. The request was
therefore granted.
Husky Oil Ltd. applied in May for transfer of the gas allowable for the well in
C-100-H/94-J-10 in the Clarke Lake field to another well in the field. The request
was not approved. Generally the principle of transferring gas-well allowables is
inconsistent with the theory of setting such production limits. Unlike oil well allowables, which are based on reserves, gas well production-rate limits are based on
production tests and are assigned at a level designed to minimize well-bore damage.
Transfer of allowables, therefore, defeats this object. Specifically with regard to
Clarke Lake, two additional factors are pertinent. Most wells in the field are in
the Slave Point project, which has an allowable of 400 million standard cubic feet
per day. Thus, transfer of allowable to a well in this area is meaningless. The
wells that are restricted to individual production-rate limits are those offsetting the
well in a-65-G/94-J-10. These wells were excluded from the project at the specific
request of the operator of the a-65-G well because it was considered that undue
drainage of this tract would occur. Thus, transfer of another well's allowable to
one of these wells would defeat the purpose of their rate limitations. Husky was
advised to discuss with Pacific Petroleums Ltd., the project operator, the possibility
of including the spacing area for c-100-H into the project, and to subsequently apply
to the Branch for enlargement of the project for this purpose.
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 93
Hydrocarbon and Associated Sulphur Reserves
Table 18 presents estimated reserves, at year-end 1969, of oil, gas, and gas
by-products (hydrocarbon liquids and sulphur). The major review and normalization of reserves estimates begun in 1968 was continued during 1969, resulting in
modifications to several previous estimates of ultimate recovery. These are shown
under the heading " Revisions in 1969 " in Table 18. The current estimates of oil
and gas reservoir rock, fluid, and producing characteristics are presented in Tables
19 and 20.
The proved oil reserves in the Province as of December 31, 1969, are estimated
at some 253 million stock tank barrels. Drilling during 1969 proved up 2.9 million
stock tank barrels of reserves, and revisions to previous estimates added a further
2.3 million stock tank barrels. However, 25.3 million stock tank barrels were produced during the year, resulting in a net decrease in proved reserves of 20.1 million
stock tank barrels when compared with reserves at the end of 1968.
Proved reserves represent oil for which it is believed there is a 90 per cent or
better chance that the estimated volumes will be recovered. Probable reserves are
carried where the probability is estimated to be 50 per cent or more. These include
primary reserves on undrilled acreage and reserves attributable to probable increases
in ultimate recovery from pools under improved recovery schemes or for which such
schemes are planned. Probable oil reserves are estimated at 85 million stock tank
barrels, as of December 31, 1969. This is 14.3 million stock tank barrels less than
the estimate made for year-end 1968. One reason for this is the transfer of some
reserves from the probable to proved category, based on the performance of some
improved recovery projects. A fair proportion of the decrease is, however, due to
revisions of previous estimates for some pools.
Gas and gas by-products reserves shown in Table 18 are " established " reserves. These comprise the proved reserves plus a percentage (usually 50 per cent)
of the estimated probable reserves. As of December 31, 1969, the established raw-
gas reserves are estimated at 8.9 trillion standard cubic feet. Adjustment for removal
of a percentage of the liquid hydrocarbons and acid gases results in established
residue gas reserves of 7.8 trillion standard cubic feet, or 8.1 trillion standard cubic
feet when converted to a standard heat content of 1,000 B.T.U. per standard cubic
foot. These volumes represent slight increases over the corresponding estimates at
the end of 1968. It is readily seen that 75 per cent of the increase is due to drilling
in 1969, with major reserves increases in the Rigel, Stoddart, Dahl, Blueberry, and
Beavertail areas. Adjustments to previous reserves estimates accounted for the
other 25 per cent of the increase, representing 160 billion standard cubic feet; of
this, 134 billion standard cubic feet is due to the inclusion of reserves of associated
gas in the Crush, Inga, Milligan Creek, part of Peejay, Rigel, and Wildmint fields.
These reserves were not previously carried, as gas-conservation schemes were not
in effect. However, at year-end 1969, schemes for these fields were well in hand
and inclusion in the reserves estimates was considered justified. In the case of Inga
field, these reserves include gas in the gas-cap to Inga Unit No. 1 in the Jeans West
area. The item in Table 18 identified as " cumulative production adjustment " is to
allow for the cumulative gas produced from these proposed conservation schemes up
to December 31, 1968.
Natural-gas liquids reserves at year-end 1969 are estimated at 124 million
stock tank barrels, some 5.5 million stock tank barrels more than the estimate at
December 31, 1968. This increase is entirely due to drilling during 1969 in the
area served by the Fort St. John gas plant. No liquids are extracted from gas
processed at the Fort Nelson plant, due to the very low liquid content of this gas.
A 94 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
As in the case of gas reserves, the item " cumulative production adjustment" in
Table 18 is to adjust the December 31, 1968, cumulative natural-gas liquids production for liquids produced from the proposed conservation schemes.
Estimated sulphur reserves at December 31, 1969, at 3,736 thousand long
tons, are 939 thousand long tons more than the 1968 estimate. The reason for this
substantial increase is that for the first time sulphur reserves are being carried for
gas accumulations serving the Fort Nelson gas plant. Subject to National Energy
Board approval, this plant is due to have a sulphur-extraction facility in operation
by the fall of 1971 and inclusion of these sulphur reserves is therefore considered
justified. The cumulative production adjustment in Table 18 includes cumulative
sulphur produced, to December 31, 1968, from the area served by the Fort Nelson
plant and also from the proposed gas-conservation schemes previously discussed.
It should be noted that residue gas, natural-gas liquids, and sulphur production
and reserves estimates are based on theoretical calculations of the quantities of these
materials contained in the raw-gas reserves. Comparisons between actual and
theoretical production during 1969 are included in footnotes to Table 18. The
apparent low sulphur extraction efficiency is due to the fact that the theoretical
values include the sulphur not in fact extracted from the gas in the Fort Nelson
plant.
Miscellaneous
During 1969, several proposed schemes for produced-water disposal were
examined. In January, Mobil Oil Canada Ltd. drilled a well in d-92-D/94-I-14
for the purpose of disposing of water produced as a result of gas production from
the Pine Point Formation in the Sierra area. Approval was granted on an interim
basis, pending final evaluation, for disposal into the Debolt Formation in this well.
Pacific Petroleums Ltd. applied in March for permission to transport water produced from the Cadomin zone in the well located in 8-15-85-14 W6M to the Boundary Lake injection plant. This plant is operated by Imperial Oil Ltd., and provides
water for waterflooding the Boundary Lake zone in this field. Test data indicated
that the water could be treated to avoid incompatibility problems, and the request
was therefore granted.
At the beginning of November an application was received from Texaco Exploration Co. for approval to dispose of water produced from the Inga Sand in the
well located in 16-13-87-24 W6M. The proposal was to truck the water to the
Nig Creek field disposal well located in a-31-F/94-H-4 for disposal to the Baldonnel
Formation. At the time this well was used solely for the purpose of disposing of
water produced with gas from the Baldonnel zone in the Nig Creek field. Laboratory tests indicated that mixing of Inga and Baldonnel waters would cause calcium-
carbonate precipitation. This would be detrimental if allowed to occur unchecked
in the bore of the disposal well, since " plugging " of the disposal zone would occur.
Texaco proposed to control any tendency to such plugging by injection of hydrochloric acid. In mid-November, interim authorization was granted for the proposal,
subject to several conditions imposed to ensure that the disposal well's capacity was
not impaired, in order that Nig Creek gas production would not be curtailed due to
inability to dispose of produced water.
Two applications were dealt with concerning gas metering during 1969. At the
end of 1968, Mobil Oil Canada Ltd. requested waiver of the requirement for individual well-gas metering for production from three wells in the Sierra area. The
application was not approved as it stood. However, a compromise scheme was
authorized whereby individual pool production would be metered and individual
well rates within a pool would be estimated by prorating on the basis of monthly
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 95
production tests through the dehydration plant. In December 1969, Union Oil
Company of Canada Ltd. was informed that the Branch would waive the requirement for chart records on integrating orifice meters for all injection points into,
and the custody transfer point from, the proposed Northeast British Columbia Gas
Gathering System. This waiver was granted on condition that digital readout orifice-
flow computers of approved design would be installed instead of the conventional
meters at these locations. It was considered that greater metering accuracy would
be obtained with the proposed equipment. One condition of the waiver is that
three-monthly reports followed by annual reports are to be filed with the Branch,
detailing meter gas balances into and out of the system.
Several comprehensive reservoir studies were made during 1969, in conjunction with the Geological Section. Pools included were the Nahanni in the Beaver
River area, the Halfway in the Peejay field, the Bluesky-Gething in Aitken Creek
field, and the Baldonnel and Halfway in the Beg and Beg West fields. In addition,
preliminary work was started on a study of the potential value in waterflooding the
Inga A pool in the Inga field. In addition to the annual reserves estimates, a review
was made of potential associated- and solution-gas reserves in the general area of
the proposed Northeast British Columbia Gas Gathering System. Some of these,
for which firm conservation commitments have been made, are included in the
Provincial Reserves estimate as of December 31, 1969.
The revised Drilling and Production Regulations stipulate the frequency with
which progress reports are required from operators of improved recovery schemes.
During 1969, such reports were reviewed for all the projects listed in Table 16, with
the exception of Inga Unit No. 1; water injection into this project had only been
taking place for six months by year-end 1969. In addition, a progress report for the
Slave Point project in the Clarke Lake field was reviewed. Where necessary, items
arising from these reports were discussed with the operator. As a further check on
efficacy of the improved recovery schemes in operation during the year, withdrawal
balances since initiation were calculated for all projects.
During the year, several proposed testing procedures and test results were
reviewed relative to segregation in dual- or triple-zone completion wells. In all cases
examined it was concluded that segregation was effective.
Amongst several miscellaneous applications dealt with during 1969 was one
from Tenneco Oil & Minerals Ltd. for permission to flare approximately 100 million
standard cubic feet of gas from the well located in 16-12-87-24 W6M. This well
was completed in the Inga Sand, lower structurally than off-setting oil wells. However, the sand appeared to be gas-bearing. It was contended by the applicant that
production of the 100 million standard cubic feet of gas would deplete the interpreted local gas accumulation and permit the well to go on stream as an oil producer.
For several reasons, approval to flare this volume of gas was withheld. Normal
initial production testing routine was followed when the well was placed on stream
in March, and the well came in immediately as an oil producer, although with a gas-
oil ratio well above that observed in adjacent wells. At year-end the gas-oil ratio
was still about five or six times as high as the nearby wells.
Another application that was considered during the year concerned possible
modification of gas-well spacing areas in a projected drilling prospect. It was concluded that modification was not desirable and that sections 13.06 and 13.09 of the
regulations adequately covered the situation that might develop if the plans materialized into concrete action. Several proposed M.P.R.s were reviewed for wells
in Alberta in spacing units adjacent to the Boundary Lake field, courtesy of the Alberta Oil & Gas Conservation Board. It was ensured that the proposed allowable
A 96 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
rates were consistent with those that would have been applicable in British Columbia,
and, therefore, that no lease-line problem existed.
Several requests for general or specific reservoir-fluid analysis data were dealt
with during 1969. As in previous years, a map detailing maximum detected concentrations of hydrogen sulphide in produced gases was prepared in September.
This map is on file at the Branch field office, for the benefit of personnel about to
work in the field. During the year many requests for Branch estimates of Provincial
and individual pool reserves were received.
In order to expedite the handling of such things as improved recovery submissions, a set of guidelines was prepared in January detailing the data required in
support of various applications to the Branch. These were included in the Drilling
and Production Regulations booklet, published by the Branch later in the year.
Topics covered were: Water disposal, pressure maintenance or improved recovery,
relief from gas-oil ratio penalties, concurrent production of oil and gas, removal of
gas-well rate restrictions, and gas processing. In November, guidelines for gas-
conservation scheme submissions were issued, in the form of a " Memo to All
Operators."
During September, a " Memo to All Operators " was issued on the subject of
reservoir-pressure surveys in oil wells. Minimum requirements were detailed and
proposals for survey schedules during 1970 were solicited. By year-end several
schedules had been received and discussed with the operators where necessary.
The finalized Province-wide schedules had not been issued by the end of December,
pending review of outstanding submissions.
In previous years the Reservoir Engineering Section has assisted the Chief
Commissioner in evaluating acreage posted for disposition of Crown land. Early
in 1969 a set of correlations was prepared which enables the selection of a value
for such acreage based only on reservoir rock properties and estimated fluid distribution. These are now used generally by the Geological Section, and the Reservoir
Engineering Section is only consulted in the case of unusual circumstances. A special
evaluation was made for the Provincial Department of Finance. This concerned the
value of part of an estate that included an over-riding royalty interest in a large
spread of productive and potentially productive acreage in the Fort Nelson area.
One or two other miscellaneous tasks were undertaken during the year to supply
various Provincial and Federal Government personnel with data and interpretations. These included such things as providing information for Provincial representatives at the National Energy Board hearings in Ottawa in the fall of 1969.
The Section assisted the Development Section in the continuing project to improve
and modify the computer application, reporting current and historical production
data.
Early in 1969 the reorganization of the Reservoir Engineering Section's files,
begun in 1968, was completed. Other action to upgrade the Section's utility included the purchase during the year of an electronic calculator, well suited to engineering calculations; and the enrolment of one staff member in a comprehensive
reservoir engineering course at the University of Alberta.
DEVELOPMENT SECTION
Drilling
A marked decrease was recorded in drilling operations completed in the Province during 1969. Over-all footage drilled was 19 per cent less than 1968, mainly
due to the reduction in exploratory drilling. Exploratory wildcat footage was down
32 per cent from the 1968 level and the footage attained at wells classified as
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS
A 97
exploratory outpost decreased 29 per cent. The development footage remained
almost constant, relative to the previous year. Footages drilled during 1969 were
as follows: Development 433,868 feet, compared to 442,747 feet for 1968; exploratory outpost 189,672 feet, compared to 265,891 feet; and exploratory wildcat
250,245 feet, compared to 366,247 feet. The year 1969 was the first year since
1964 that the total footage drilled did not exceed 1 million feet. Two factors were
responsible for this decrease. The general orientation of exploration funds to northern Canada from the Prairie regions and the lack of new discoveries in British
Columbia to initiate follow-up development drilling programmes.
All drilling operations, except for one exploratory wildcat venture in the
Bowser Basin area, were carried out in the northeastern corner of the Province.
In total, 59 operating oil companies employed 51 different drilling rigs to complete
the 1969 drilling.

MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
Wells completed decreased 9 per cent to 171 wells in 1969 from 194 completions in 1968. Twelve wells were given finished drilling status at the end of the
year. Production casing has been set in these wells, indicating that they are expected
to be producers but will be evaluated at a later date. Because of the use of this
temporary status, a true comparison to the 1968 completions cannot be made. In
1969, there were 40 gas wells completed, compared to 34 in 1968. Thirty-five oil
completions were made in 1969, 11 less than in 1968, while 80 abandonments were
recorded, compared to 105 during 1968. The number of wells drilling at the end
of the year was 24. As in previous compilations, if more than one zone is completed in a well, each productive zone is counted as a well. As two multiple-gas
completions were made in 1969, 169 wells were actually drilled. Wells drilled and
drilling during 1969 are listed in Table 21. Monthly footages drilled since 1954
are given graphically on Figure 2.
Well classifications were assigned by the Development Section during 1969 to
each proposed well location in accordance with the Drilling and Production Regulations. A Lahee classification was also determined, which was described in the
Geological Section of this report. The Branch classification system is explained by
the following definitions. A development well is located within a spacing area that
is contiguous to a spacing area containing a well capable of production from the
same objective geological pool. Exploratory wells are divided into two types—
wildcat and outpost. An exploratory wildcat well is located more than 4V_ miles
from any capable well, and an exploratory outpost well is located in the area between
development and wildcat wells. Development wells are further classified as deep-pool
or shallow-pool tests where undeveloped pools below or above the objective pool
is being explored. With the revised Drilling and Production Regulations, which
were effective on February 3, 1969, the Branch classification is the basis used for
the release of well information. Release of data for exploratory wildcat wells is
made one year after the rig release date, while the information from all other wells
is available 30 days after the rig release date.
Workover operations were undertaken at many newly completed wells in addition to stimulation treatments performed on some of the declining wells. A work-
over is considered to be any operation carried out after the rig release date that
changes the producing interval, or alters, or intends to alter, the producing characteristics of a well. A producing interval may be changed by perforating, cementing
perforations, or by running casing or plugs. The producing characteristics of a well
may be changed by any operation performed to increase the productivity of the well.
Changes may include perforating, acidizing, fracturing, installing a pump, or changing a choke, but do not include the replacement of equipment.

Figure 3. Petroleum and natural-gas fields, 1969.
A 100 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
Five new fields were designated by the Branch during 1969, and field boundaries were amended on 10 occasions. The new fields were at Bear Flat, Moberly
Lake, Sierra, Sunrise, and Two Rivers. Boundaries were changed for the Beatton
River West, Clarke Lake, Fort St. John, and North Pine fields in one instance and
in two cases to the Inga, Rigel, and Stoddart fields. At the end of 1969, there were
64 designated fields which are listed in Table 22 and shown on Figure 3.
All submissions pertaining to drilling operations are studied for approval by the
Development Section. Such approvals must be obtained prior to commencement of
drilling a well, changing a well name, abandoning a well, or any alteration proposed
to change the physical characteristics of a well. When a submission is received by
the Development Section, the information, which may include details of the proposed
programme, the title under which the petroleum and natural-gas rights are held,
and any other relevant requirements of the regulations, is reviewed. With each
application to drill a well, a surveyed position must be given which is examined to
assure conformation with target and spacing regulations. A spacing area is assigned
to the proposed well and, if the location does not meet the target-area requirements,
a production penalty is calculated.
Any application that is submitted to alter the equipment in a well or the proposed programme for a well is handled in a similar manner. Details of the application are examined and given approval by the various sections of the Branch. Prior
to the abandonment of a well, the operator must transmit an abandonment programme to the field engineer for his approval, but all other types of alterations are
studied at Victoria, where official records are retained.
During 1969, 178 well authorizations were issued. Six of these authorizations
were cancelled when the operators decided not to drill the proposed locations.
The disposal of salt water produced with petroleum and natural gas was accomplished by evaporation in surface pits or by injection to subsurface formations.
Eight disposal wells situated in the producing areas are in operation in the Province.
During 1969 there were 3,334,048 barrels injected into the disposal wells and
584,267 barrels delivered to flare pits for evaporation.
Water-flood operations to enhance production from oil fields increased in 1969
by 7 per cent. A total of 47,392,661 barrels, including both fresh and formation
water, were injected into nine producing pools in the Province. Fields receiving
the largest quantities of water were Boundary Lake, 16,148,469 barrels, and Peejay,
14,128,819 barrels.
Production
Significant gains were made in the production of crude oil and natural gas from
British Columbia wells during 1969. Crude-oil production increased 14.2 per cent,
compared to 1968, to 25,309,036 barrels and natural gas was up 15.3 per cent to
324,127,117 thousand standard cubic feet.
Five fields each contributed over 1 million barrels and in total over 85 per cent
of the Provincial supply. These were Boundary Lake, 8,914,827 barrels; Peejay,
5,838,825 barrels; Milligan Creek, 3,601,026 barrels; Inga, 2,714,618 barrels;
and Weasel, 1,182,457 barrels, which are all under active water-flood programmes.
Declines in production were reported from several smaller fields, notably Bulrush,
Osprey, and Rigel.
Natural-gas production from the largest producing fields remained nearly constant. The sizeable Provincial increase resulted from new production by the
Sierra field and large gains from the Kotcho Lake and Yoyo fields. The aforementioned three fields, plus the Clarke Lake field, all located in the Fort Nelson area,
produced 49 per cent of the total. The major producing fields in order of volume
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS
A 101
were Clarke Lake, 102,176,861 thousand standard cubic feet; Yoyo, 31,915,254
thousand standard cubic feet; Laprise, 26,210,563 thousand standard cubic feet;
Nig Creek, 19,039,190 thousand standard cubic feet; Jedney, 18,486,525 thousand
standard cubic feet; and Rigel, 15,238,425 thousand standard cubic feet.
Monthly crude-oil and natural-gas production by fields and pools for 1969 are
given in Tables 24 and 25.

MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
Graphs of monthly production for the years 1954 to 1969 are shown on Figures
4 and 5.
Some changes were noted in the production and sales volumes of butane, propane, and sulphur, compared to 1968. A reduction in the butane sales to the
United States was one of the obvious differences.
General statistics showing well operation and production data are given in
Table 26. The monthly dispositions of various petroleum products are shown in
Tables 27, 28, and 29. Monthly values to the producers are given in Table 30.
Pipe-lines
Oil-gathering System
The only changes reported for 1969 to the oil-gathering system was the addition
of 4 miles to the Trans Prairie Pipelines (B.C.) Ltd. network.
Oil-transmission System
The throughput volume carried by Trans Prairie Pipelines (B.C.) Ltd. was
increased from 53,897 barrels per day in 1968 to 60,157 barrels per day in 1969.
Gas-gathering System
During 1969, extensions to the gas-gathering facilities from the Kotcho Lake
and Sierra fields were put into operation.
Gas-transmission System
Capacities of the gas-transmission systems in the Province were increased, particularly the Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. line, which was raised from 23,000 million
standard cubic feet in 1968 to 44,000 million standard cubic feet in 1969.

systems during 1969.
Oil Refineries
Imperial Oil Enterprises Ltd. completed alterations at the loco refinery to
increases the cracking capacity to 11,400 barrels per calendar day.
Gas-processing Plants
No changes were made to the gas-processing plants in British Columbia during
1969.
Sulphur Plants
No changes were reported in the operation of the sulphur plant located at
Taylor.
Tables 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 provide data on the pipe-lines, oil refineries, gas-
processing plants, and the sulphur plant. Figure 6 outlines the major pipe-line
systems operating in the Province.
Well Records
Information concerning the petroleum and natural-gas industry in British
Columbia is collected and compiled by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch.
The data are made available to interested persons, in strict accordance with
Division 43 of the Drilling and Production Regulations. Location, elevation, current depth, casing, status, and monthly production of individual wells are released
upon request. Other information is held confidential, depending upon the classification assigned by the Branch at the time of approval of the well authorization. Information from any well or portion of a well that is classified as wildcat is available
one year after rig-release date. Data from all other classifications of wells are
available 30 days after rig-release date. Confidential well information may be released to an interested person if a letter is received by the Branch from the operator
of the well authorizing its release.
Information is provided by the Branch by publication, examination of Branch
records, or reproduction of documents filed. Cost-defraying charges are made by
the Branch for these services.
The records maintained by the Branch are in constant use by the Reservoir,
Development, and Geological Sections; therefore, they must be kept up to date and
in a manner suitable for many purposes. As published reports are expanded to
meet the requirements of industry and other governmental bodies, the methods of
keeping records must be altered.
The Branch has representation on the Statistical Sub-committee which was
established at the request of the Mines Ministers' Conference in 1955. This committee is composed of representatives from each Province actively engaged in the
petroleum industry and of personnel employed by oil companies. The objectives
of the group are as follows:—
(1) Standardization of forms designed for the same purpose but which are
required individually by both the Provincial and Federal Governments
under different formats.
(2) Standardization of forms to accommodate machine accounting procedures
for reporting production statistics to Provincial Governments.
(3) Amendment of existing model report forms to conform with present requirements.
A 104 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
(4) Investigation of ways and means to obtain the co-operation of both Provincial and Federal Government agencies and provide early availability of
information on all phases of the oil and gas industry.
One meeting of the Statistical Sub-committee was held in 1969, when discussions were held concerning the procedures and reports employed by the Provincial
authorities. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch has adopted many features
of the model forms prepared by this committee and uses the following applications
and reports:—

Reports
Schedule of Wells
An annual volume was compiled and published giving all well information
released during 1969. It covered the period from 8 a.m. January 1st to 8 a.m.
January 1 st of the succeeding year.
The data are arranged alphabetically by the well names and provide the following information when applicable: Well authorization number, well name, location,
classification, co-ordinates, elevation, total depth, status including geological pool,
interval open to production, casing details, spud date, rig-release date, logs, core
intervals, sample intervals, drill-stem test data, and geological markers determined
by the Branch.
The information is condensed from reports submitted to the Branch by the
various operators.
Weekly Report
A weekly report is published for Departmental use from data collected by the
field office staff at Charlie Lake. The week reported is from 8 a.m. on Friday to
the succeeding Friday. The following information is included:—
(1) Spudded wells.
(2) Cancelled locations.
(3) Changes of well names.
(4) Changes of well classification.

A 106 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969
The number of completed wells is calculated by two methods to provide verification. The number of wells of different status, counting each zone of a multiple
completion as a well, is compared to the number of locations drilled less the multiple
completions.
The number of locations in good standing is calculated also by two methods.
The total number of locations drilled, drilling, suspended, and approved but not
spudded is compared to the total number of locations approved less the number of
locations cancelled.
Oil and Gas Production Report
The Oil and Gas Production Report is prepared monthly from returns made
by the operators of producing wells, pipe-lines, gas plants, oil refineries, and distribution facilities. All production data are compiled and maintained by a computer
application. The contents of the report are as follows:—
