Strathcona hits No. 1 in the Top 10 conventional oil wells for October
There are a few surprises in the top 100 conventional oil wells in Saskatchewan for the month of October.
That’s according to data compiled by by BlincSoftware. Blinc compiled its numbers from data provided by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources. Much more detailed information can be found at BlincSoftware’s Canadian Petroleum Registry.
For one, in No. 1 position, is a heavy oil well in northwest Saskatchewan. Strathcona Resources’ 101/09-32-034-20W3/00 well hit 564 barrels per day with minimal gas at Druid. For much of the last year, the top position usually fell to southeast Saskatchewan.
Whitecap Resources came in second spot, with 101/14-13-006-06W2/00 registering 527 bpd at Browning.
In third spot, Canadian Natural Resources Limited’s 101/03-18-05024W3/00 well at Tangleflags had 478 bpd production.
Fourth, fifth and sixth went to Surge Energy on former Astra properties near Lampman. Those wells, in order and with their production, were 101/0203-005-06W2/00 (477 bpd), 101/03-32004-06W2/00 (444 bpd), 102/03-03-00506W2/00 (346 bpd).
Seventh place went to Whitecap at Steelman, with well 103/05-09-00506W2/00 hitting 321 bpd.
At Alameda, Taprock Energy Inc. came in eighth place with 103/15-26-00403W2/00 producing 318 bpd.
In ninth place was another Surge well at Lampman. Well 105/01-03-005-
06W2/00 had 313 bpd.
Rounding out tenth place was another surprise, a company that doesn’t often score that high on the list. Pemoco’s 101/03-15-008-33W1/00 had 299 bpd.
Top 100
Looking at the broader Top 100, we find that Whitecap had a whopping 38 of the Top 100. Of those 38, 21 were in the Weyburn Unit showing once again the value of carbon dioxide -enhanced oil recovery.
Strathcona had nine wells in the Top 100.
Canadian Natural Resources and Surge Energy Inc. each had eight wells in the Top 100.
Veren Energy Inc. had six positions on the list.
Saturn Oil & Gas Ltd. had five wells in the list.
Baytex Energy Ltd., Longshore Resources Ltd. Taprock Energy Inc., Tundra Oil & Gas Ltd, each had three wells in the Top 100.
Aldon Oils Ltd., Marlin Resources Ltd., Cenovus Energy Inc., Teine Energy Ltd., all had two wells in the list.
Companies with singular wells on the list included Anova Resources Inc., Burgess Creek Exploration, Pemoco Ltd, ROK Resources Ltd., West Lake Energy Corp and Woodland Development Corp. Light and medium oil are reported as “Crude oil,” and they accounted for 67 of the Top 100 wells. Heavy crude came in at 33 wells.

Stuffing Mix Magic: Easy Turkey Meatballs for Dinner or a Party Hit!
When the week between Christmas and New Year’s hits, we’re all caught in a strange limbo. All the cookies, sweets and party treats create a lawless wasteland of dietary anarchy. The big holiday feasts are behind us, but the New Year’s celebrations are still to come. Whether you’re preparing a cozy family dinner or gearing up for a festive gathering, this recipe for turkey meatballs will have you covered.
What makes these meatballs stand out? We’re skipping the usual breadcrumbs and spicing things up with a seasonal shortcut — boxed stuffing mix! Soaking the mix in milk creates a panade — similar to the technique in Italian meatballs — making them irresistibly tender and moist. It’s an unexpected twist that gives these meatballs loads of flavor with little extra effort. Plus, using ground turkey makes them a lighter option after all those heavy holiday dishes.
for a meatball sandwich, or pop them on toothpicks for an irresistible party bite. No matter how you serve them, you’ll have a crowd-pleaser that’s as easy to make as it is to eat.
HOLIDAY TURKEY MEATBALLS
Yield: 80 meatballs
Total Time: 35 minutes
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 (6 ounce) box turkey stuffing mix
2 pounds ground turkey, 85/15 fat content
1/4 cup onion, finely minced or grated
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely minced, packed
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper, or more to taste
tablespoons of the mixture, and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until they reach 165 F.
CRANBERRY DIPPING SAUCE
1 (12 ounce) bag cranberries, frozen or fresh
1 zest and juice medium navel orange
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, orange zest and juice, both sugars, water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until cranberries break down.
Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar and butter. Blend for a smooth texture or mash with a potato masher for a rustic take. Serve with meatballs.
Why stop at just meatballs when you can go all-out with holiday vibes? Pair these tender turkey meatballs with a tangy, cranberry-based dipping sauce that brings the whole dish together. The sweet-tart flavor of cranberry, brightened with a hint of orange, adds a festive flair and makes every bite feel like a celebration. Serve them as a quick, satisfying dinner over rice or pasta, or plop them on hoagie rolls, or a crusty baguette
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine eggs and milk, then add to stuffing mix. Let this sit for about 5 minutes to allow the stuffing to absorb the milk mixture. Add turkey, onion, parsley, Parmesan, garlic and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined. Use a spoon or scoop to measure heaping
If making sauce from scratch doesn’t appeal to you, then simply combine one (15 ounce) can cranberry sauce with a (12 ounce) bottle of chili sauce for a delicious low-effort option.
So, whether you’re juggling post-holiday fatigue or planning a New Year’s bash, these Holiday Turkey Meatballs will make your life a little easier — and a lot more delicious. That’s a win in my book. Here’s to ringing in the New Year with style and a full belly!

• On Jan. 13, 1995, America3 (“America Cubed”), an all-female sailing team, won the first race of the America’s Cup defender trials in little more than a minute. The team was the sport’s first all-women crew to compete in the Cup’s 144-year history.
• On Jan. 14, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Presidential Proclamation No. 2537, requiring non-U.S. citizens from World War II-enemy countries (Italy, Germany and Japan) to register with the United States Department of Justice, after which they were given a Certificate of Identification for Aliens of Enemy Nationality. The Proclamation facilitated the beginning of full-scale Japanese American internment the following month.
• On Jan. 15, 1951, Ilse Koch, known as the “Witch of Buchenwald” for the extraordinary sadism she displayed toward that camp’s prisoners, was sentenced to life in prison for crimes against humanity by a West German court. The sentence was reduced to four years and Koch was released, then imprisoned again with a second life term. She escaped that fate by hanging herself with a bedsheet in 1967.
• On Jan. 16, 1973, the final episode of “Bonanza,” written and directed by Michael Landon, aired on NBC, completing a 14-season run centering on thrice-widowed patriarch Ben Cartwright, his sons, and their adventures on the thousand-square-mile Ponderosa Ranch in Nevada.
• On Jan. 17, 2013, Sergei Filin, the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, was attacked outside his Moscow home with acid by a masked man later revealed to have been hired by company dancer Pavel Dmitrichenko.

There was an elderly couple who in their old age noticed that they were getting a lot more forgetful, so they decided to go to the doctor. The doctor told them that they should start writing things down so they don’t forget. They went home and the old lady told her husband to get her a bowl of ice cream.
“You might want to write it down,” she said.
The husband said, “No, I can remember that you want a bowl of ice cream.”
She then told her husband she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream. “Write it down,” she told him.
He said, “No, no, I can remember: you want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream.”
Then the old lady said she wants a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top. “Write it down,” she told her husband.
Again he said, “No, I got it. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top.”
So he goes to get the ice cream and spends an unusually long time in the kitchen, over 30 minutes. He comes out to his wife and hands her a plate of eggs and bacon.
The old wife stares at the plate for a moment, then looks at her husband and asks, “Where’s the toast?”

Q:
Who is the actor starring as Superman in the new film coming out this summer? I’ve never seen him before. — K.P.
A:Director James Gunn chose David Corenswet to don the red cape in his upcoming “Superman” movie because the film focuses on an earlier part of the superhero’s life. Henry Cavill, who most recently played the Man of Steel, is 41 years old, while Corenswet is a decade younger. A brief trailer of the movie was recently released online, which not only featured the titular character but also featured Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult).
Corenswet’s prior credits include the miniseries “Lady in the Lake,” the movie “Twisters,” and the Ryan-Murphy-produced series “The Politician.” “Superman,” however, will likely make him a household name this summer.
Q:Whatever happened to the latest western movie by Kevin Costner? I blinked and missed it in theaters. Is it streaming anywhere? — Y.S.
A:“Horizon: An American Saga” is a four-chapter film series that “Yellowstone” star Kevin Costner wrote, directed, and acts in. “Chapter 1” reportedly had a $100 million budget with a big chunk of it financed by Costner himself. He received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival after the movie premiered there in May, but one month later when it was released nationwide in theaters, you could hear a pin drop.
It was rather surprising given that his western “Dances With Wolves” won the Oscar for Best Picture three decades earlier and that the “Yellowstone” TV series, which was set on a ranch out West, was a recent huge hit. Alas, “Yellowstone” audiences didn’t feel like watching Costner in a 3-hour slow-moving flick, no matter how good the writing and performance. “Chapter 2” was supposed to be released in 2024, but because of the box-office failure of its predecessor, it’s been pushed to 2025. Currently, you can stream “Chapter 1” on Max. “Chapter 3” started its principal photography in May, while “Chapter 4” is in active development. But it might be
best to simply release “Horizon” as one big miniseries on streaming. Perhaps then it would receive accolades from the Emmy Awards instead of the Oscars someday.

Q:I saw a book at the library that had Millie Bobby Brown’s name on it, but I forgot the title. Is she an author now, too? — D.D.
A:The
novel “Nineteen Steps,” which was published in 2023, is based on actress Millie Bobby Brown’s (“Stranger Things”) grandmother’s traumatic experience during the time of World War II. Brown’s name is featured prominently on the cover, which would make the reader presume that she authored the book. However, it turns out it was ghostwritten by Kathleen McGurl.
Brown has been open about her collaboration with the author, and the book would never have been published without Brown’s input about her own family’s history. According to Variety, Brown and Netflix are developing the book into a movie, and yes, Brown is set to star in the role of her grandmother.
