Q:When is “Virgin River” coming back? Will there be another season? I’ve seen all of the episodes and hope it returns. — M.C.
A:Filming has already begun for season six of the Netflix series “Virgin River,” but don’t expect to see it on your screen for a while, possibly not until 2025. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed at Netflix’s Tudum event that Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) “will advance on their path to parenthood while also turning Lilly’s farm into their ultimate dream home.”
Smith further hinted that in the new season, viewers will “be surprised by some returning favorites from the past” and also get introduced to a new character — Mel’s biological father, played by actor John Allen Nelson (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”).
Q:Is there going to be another season of “Heartland”? I was so sad when Ty died in the ending chapter and wondered if Amy found love again. — T.A.
Henderson and Alexandra Breckendrige star in “Virgin River.”
Q:
What is the latest on Richard Simmons? He hasn’t been seen in years, and now there’s a rumor that he died. But fortunately, it was just a rumor, right? — E.C.
A:I’m assuming that you’re watching “Heartland” via Netflix because only seasons 1-15 are currently available to watch on the streaming service. Fortunately, the Canadian series is on season 17 on the CBC network, but here in the United States, you’ll have to wait a bit.

While no official statement has been released, there are reliable sources on the internet saying that season 16 will most likely be available on Netflix beginning in September, possibly earlier. This is because another streaming service, called UP Faith & Family, has first dibs on the show here in the U.S.. Once their customers have had enough time to watch season 16, Netflix viewers will then have their chance, likely starting this September, as mentioned above. If you can’t wait that long, visit UPFaithandFamily.com and learn how you can subscribe to the streaming platform, which calls itself “the leading streaming service for uplifting entertainment.” They offer a monthly subscription plan for just $5.99 month, but as always, be sure to read the fine print.
Richard Simmons, now age 75, has been reclusive for about a decade now. There were rumors that he was being held against his will, but in 2022, he issued a statement to the New York Post that he was happy and healthy. Recently, however, he worried his fans again when he posted a message on X (formerly Twitter) that he was dying. He went on to explain, “The truth is we all are dying.”
He went on to give some tips on eating better, getting enough sleep and exercising. Several hours later, he posted again to apologize for the confusion and clarify that he isn’t dying anytime soon. He said he simply wanted to remind everyone to embrace every day that they have. You can follow Simmons on his official page on X: @TheWeightSaint.

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage
Are multi-laterals the next big thing in oil?
Saskatchewan bets

er consumption. On Dec. 29, SaskPower set another record in power consumption for Saskatchewan. At 5:27 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2021, Saskatchewan homes and businesses reached 3,868 megawatts (MW) in power use, according to the Crown corporation. The previous record of 3,792 MW was reached four years ago to the day, on Dec. 29, 2017.
ly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired gener ating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the nat ural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload

REGINA – What is the “next big thing” in Saskatchewan’s oil and gas development?
It was in response to the extraordinary events that occurred in Alberta over the weekend, in which Saskatchewan played a key part. And it was also a tacit acknowledgement that as much as SaskPower’s been trying to wean itself o coal, it just can’t do it yet. We still need it to keep the lights on.
Revolutions like horizontal drilling have universally benefitted the industry to the point where next to no vertical wells are drilled anymore. Multi-stage fracking fueled the “Bakken Boom,” although there’s a lot less of that going
e Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) declared four “grid alerts,” over four days in a row, starting the a ernoon of Friday, Jan. 12. Desperately cold temperatures drove up demand for power, just as the same
COLEVILLE, SK
When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.
of the abyss Saturday night, as rotating blackouts would have impacted di erent areas of the province for 20 to 30 minutes at a time, as temperatures ranged from -30 to -45 C, depending on where you were in the province. As the province’s grid-scale batteries neared depletion, and there was nothing le to call upon, the AESO and provincial government put out an emergency alert to all cellphones and TV screens, asking Albertans to shut o and unplug everything they could, from electric vehicle chargers to ovens to bathroom fans.

on these days. Polycrystalline diamond cutter bits dramatically improved drilling. The progressing cavity pump allowed cold heavy oil production with sand in northwest Saskatchewan, but that has been surpassed by thermal projects using steam-assisted gravity drainage. (SAGD). But what is the next big thing, beyond all of these, and something that could
be applied all over?
It might just be multi-lateral wells, and the government of Saskatchewan is betting heavily on just that.
A little over a week before the provincial budget was announced, a new “Multi-Lateral Well Program” was announced on March 11. Further details were released in the budget on March 20. Pipeline Online spoke to Energy and Resources Minister Jim Reiter in depth about the program at the Legislature on March 21. It’s the largest change in oil royalties in Saskatchewan in decades.
And that’s significant, since one of the hallmarks of the Saskatchewan Party government has been to not mess with royalties at all. But instead of increasing them, they’re reducing them, but only in very specific circumstances, in a drive to increase production and activity.
What is a multi-lateral well?
First of all, what is a multi-lateral well, and what’s new? Multi-lateral wells have multiple horizontal legs going into the target formation. The concept had been around a long time. Even as far back as 2009, PetroBank’s standard Bakken well had two legs. Three legs are pretty common, too. But this new generation of multilaterals takes it up considerably. And it’s not just large companies doing it, either.
Here’s the program’s eligibility criteria, according to the Ministry of Energy and Resources:
Eligible oil wells include MLWs drilled on or after April 1, 2024, and on or before March 31, 2028.
If the MLW is of a pitchfork configuration, or a variation of the pitchfork configuration, the well must contain a minimum of three laterals, including the initial wellbore, of 500 metres or longer to qualify for additional volumetric incentive.
If the MLW is of a fishbone configuration, or a variation of a fishbone configuration, the well must contain a minimum of ten additional laterals, off the main wellbore, of at least 200 metres in length to qualify for an additional volumetric incentive.
Basically, it’s a well with a lot of horizontal legs. The more legs, the more incentive provided, up to a point.
So far, there has been some experimenta-
tion with these sort of wells in Saskatchewan, prior to any incentive program being publicly announced.
According to Chinook Geosteering Services, using publicly available data, In southeast Saskatchewan, Cache Island Corp. was one of the first to start developing this idea in the Corning area, followed shortly by Crescent Point Energy (soon to be Veren Inc.). Several other companies have been trying it out as well.
But in northwest Saskatchewan, Lycos Energy Inc. has been going to town, with as many as 39, yes, 39 legs. According to Chinook Geosteering Services, using publicly available data, the company has drilled seven wells Britannia to Cut Knife and Manitou Lake that each had between 28 and 39 legs. They look like palm fronds, in what is referred to as a “fishbone configuration.”
Baytex Energy has drilled 19 and 13 leg wells. Aldon Oils has a 16 leg well at Browning, near Lampman. Cenovus Energy Inc. drilled a 12 leg well at Turtle River and a 10 leg at Mervin. Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Novus Energy Inc. and Rife Resources Ltd. have all drilled wells with ten legs in northwest Saskatchewan in the last year.
Clearwater play influence
Saskatchewan is just starting to ride the multi-lateral wave that really took off in the Clearwater play of northwest Alberta. There, multi-lateral wells with massive numbers of legs have become the norm. Baytex’s operations there went from zero in 2021 to over 16,000 barrels per day today. And what’s clear from well maps is that there are so many legs being drilled, at certain resolutions of a map, it looks like a kid took a crayon to fill in the section.
Indeed, Crescent Point released its March 20 Investor Day presentation the same day as the provincial budget. It showed its Bakken multilaterals near Corning have gone from a total of four legs going through each section to 32, from 400 metre horizontal spacings to 50 metres.
One thing is clear: The net result is dramatically more contact with the reservoir. Again, their map also looked like colouring the square with a crayon. -CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

Scott Saxberg, chief executive officer of Cache Island, told Pipeline Online by chat on March 25, “I would say that the rationale for the multi-legs in the Bakken was to get away from fracking into the Lodgepole above and in the long term for water flooding the Bakken. This opened up an area that was not economically prospective before. The royalty (incentive) expands the size of the pools and allow for long term reserves through water flooding.”
And keeping up with Alberta is a key consideration for the Saskatchewan government, which does not want to be left behind when it comes to investment.
Minister explains
Several years ago, the Saskatchewan Party government set a goal of increasing oil production by roughly a third by 2030, from roughly 150,000 barrels per day to 600,000 barrels per day.
Premier Scott Moe told Pipeline Online on March 21, “What we are trying to do is ensure that we have the most attractive regulatory investment environment for that industry provincially so that we can do what we can pull the strings that we can to attract that investment to achieve our growth plan target. And I think we can go beyond that.”
Asked about the 600,000 barrel per day goal, Reiter said it’s not the only effort the province is making, as they’ve been doing other things like trying to help companies raise capital. “But this is going to be a key part of it, the multilateral.
“As technology changes, basically, what it amounts to is we’re not getting the number of holes drilled a year that we want. And we need to, frankly, be competitive with our neighbors and friends in Alberta. That’s where a lot of it’s been going. That’s what we’re hearing from industry, is that the incentives they have in place there, while we’ve had some multilaterals, developed, it’s not a lot. And we’re being told by industry, ‘You’re going to have to be competitive with the Alberta structure.’
“We think this is going to do that.”
As for where the idea came from, Reiter said it was “discussions with industry.”
“I do a lot of meetings with industry. We do a lot of roundtables with them. And I started to hear that over a year ago, and I just heard it more and more, because my question for industry is, ‘What do we need to do?’ We’re trying to be competitive. We’re trying to be business friendly. We’re not getting the kind of development done that we want. What do we need? And this was kind of front and center that we were hearing from industry.”
Asked how much additional oil production the government thinks might come of this, Reiter said, “The estimates that the Ministry of done, they’re talking about 50,000 barrels per day they think this is going to add to. The timeframe is a little hard to tell. It depends how much of the pick up. But, you know, I’m optimistic within the next few years that it’ll get up to that level.”
For perspective, Saskatchewan’s oil production is currently 463,000 barrels per day as of December, a level that has been largely consistent for nearly two decades. It did rise to around 537,000 barrels per day in December, 2014, just as the seven-year oil downturn started to take hold. Also, the “Bakken Boom,” as it were, saw Bakken production rise from a few hundred barrels per day to around 70,000 barrels per day at its height. Inspiration
Reiter clarified that this is not a royalty holiday program, but a royalty incentive. It is a reduced royalty rate until certain volumes of production are met for a particular well. “There’s still a two-anda-half per cent charge they’re going to be paying.”
Once the volumetric limit is met, royalties revert to usual levels. Saskatchewan royalties are price- and volumetric-sensitive.
There is differentiation for type, depth, number of legs, development versus appraisal wells. But the program does not have a specified limit to how many wells, how much per company or how much overall. It’s agnostic to all of that. It applies anywhere in the province, any formation.
That’s a little different from the Oil and Gas Processing Investment Incentive (OGPII), which has increased by $130 million to $500 million, and the Saskatchewan Petroleum Innovation Incentive (SPII), which has increased by $70 million to $100 million in overall limits. These amounts go until 2029. The Multi-lateral Well Program does not have an overall limit on dollar value allowed. This program is in addition to existing incentives.
