Pretty sure that everyone has noticed that our fair town of Kindersley has some of the highest priced gas and diesel in Saskatchewan. While fuel and (crude oil) prices are dropping from $130.00 U.S. to under $100.00 today, for reasons unknown, Kindersley’s stations don’t budge. Is it too much to ask to be the same as the highest price in Saskatoon, or the same price as our good neighbours in Rosetown?
At this writing we’re .08 cents higher. Unnecessary gouging! We must be the only place in Canada that hasn’t dropped. These inflated prices stop people driving #7 Highway from not only not stopping for fuel; they miss out in restaurants, hotels and all retail business. Time to drop the price!
When oil was $140.00 U.S. back in 2008, the highest gas in
town was $1.42.9. Here we are at $1.73.9 and oil is under $100.00. Get it together and please stop the gouging! Prices are too high as it is!

The Federal Aviation Administration has revoked Trevor Jacob’s pilot’s license, The New York Times reported on April 20, after concluding that Jacob purposely abandoned a plane he was flying and filmed it crashing into the Los Padres National Forest in California while he parachuted to the ground. Jacob then posted the 13-minute video on YouTube, calling it “I Crashed My Plane.” The FAA said Jacob acted in a “careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.” In the video, the propeller can be seen as it stops spinning, and Jacob opens the door and jumps out with a parachute and a selfie stick. The FAA noted, “During this flight, you opened the left side pilot door before you claimed the engine had failed.” The agency also noted that Jacob did not contact air traffic control, try to restart the engine or look for a safe place to make an emergency landing. But he got 1.7 million views!
Guests at a February wedding reception in Florida reported feeling “ill and high,” “having crazy thoughts” and having “no control over [their] mind and body” after consuming pasta, salad and an olive oil and herb dip, The Smoking Gun reported. And it’s no wonder: The bride, Danya Svoboda, 42, and caterer Joycelyn Bryant, 31, were charged on April 18 with allegedly adding marijuana to the food served to wedding guests, several of whom ended up at the hospital. One victim told the best man that he “felt like he’d been drugged,” but the best man was “incoherent” himself. The groom’s aunt, 69, reported that she became paranoid and “loud and unruly” in the ER. One catering staffer thought the guests were aware that THC was in the food; Miranda Cady, 38, a (former?) friend of the bride, said Svoboda behaved as if guests should be happy about the addition to the food. Cady was terrified and sent herself a text so if she died, “someone would know what happened.” Svoboda and Bryant are scheduled for arraignment in June.

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK brian.zinchuk@pipelineonline.ca
CALGARY – Last year was transformational for Saturn Oil & Gas, with the acquisition of former Crescent Point properties in the Oxbow area. The result was a substantial growth in the company, just prior to dramatic increases in oil prices. Those realities were reflected in the company’s year-end financials, released at the end of business on April 29.
Not only was Saskatchewan setting electrical consumption records during the cold snap of last week of December, we also set two consecutive natural gas consumption records, too.

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
“The fourth quarter of 2021 was an important milestone for Saturn as we initiated our first drilling program at our newly acquired Oxbow asset,” said Justin Kaufmann, senior vice president exploration, in a press release. “Our inaugural Oxbow drilling program was highlighted with the top performing well drilled in Saskatchewan in Q4 2021 of the 550+ wells drilled with over 500 hours of production data.”
According to SaskEnergy in a Dec. 31 release, “Extreme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week resulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas consumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.
“A new daily record of 1.62 PJ was set on December 28 and broken again on December 29 with total system delivery of 1.64 PJ. Delivery numbers for December 30 and 31 are not yet finalized, but are also expected to exceed 1.6 PJ.”
The company said it achieved corporate record production with fourth quarter 2021 average of 7,279 boepd, compared to 415 boepd in the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase of 1,654 per cent.
The natural gas records coincided with record power 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.
Saturn generated adjusted funds flow of $9.7 million and $27.3 million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1.2 million and $3.5 million in the comparable 2020 periods primarily due to contributions from the operations of the Oxbow asset.
It also achieved operating netbacks for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 of $35.66 per boe and $36.38 per boe.
Saturn invested $3.6 million development capital in the fourth quarter, drilling four 100 per cent working interest Frobisher wells.
Saskatchewan’s power production has increasingly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural 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
The company generated fourth quarter free adjusted funds flow of $5.7 million, excluding property acquisition expenditures of $2.8 million relating to the Oxbow Asset. It exited the fourth quarter with $71.1 million net debt, realizing an annualized net debt to H2 2021 adjusted funds flow of 1.5x.
In a message to shareholders, Saturn’s press release said, “2021 was the most impactful year

plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.
All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.
The Crown noted that increased demand from SaskEnergy’s industrial customers, including natural gas use for power production, was the main driver of this week’s record-setting consumption.
SaskEnergy said it measures daily natural gas consumption for the 24-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A PJ is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. An average Saskatchewan home consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas each year.
in the history of Saturn, which was highlighted by the acquisition of the Oxbow asset in June of 2021. This transformational acquisition enhanced the company’s long-term sustainability by adding a low decline, light oil focused production base that provides substantial cash flow to fund the future growth of the Company and to retire the debt incurred in the acquisition. The Oxbow asset also has extensive development potential with 298 gross booked drilling locations and an additional 200+ identified and un-booked gross drilling locations which collectively provide over a decade of internally generated drilling inventory. Also critical to Saturn’s future growth plans is the optimization and workover of the non-producing wells acquired at Oxbow and to return many of these wells into economic production.”
“SaskEnergy’s natural gas system design can accommodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Throughout the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In addition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
Saturn said it invested approximately $91.1 million in combined capital expenditures and property acquisitions in 2021 between the acquisition of the Oxbow asset and its 2021 drilling program. This investment resulted in a production increase of 3,024 per cent, from 233 boepd in Q1 2021 to 7,279 boepd in Q4 2021. “The production increase of 7,046 boepd implies an attractive capital investment efficiency of $12,929 per boepd. Saturn is focused on repeating the success of 2021 by continuing to direct future capital expenditures to the highest expected return projects in our inventory,” the company said.
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.
Saturn said it made substantial increases to its reserve base in 2021 with total proved (TP) and total proved plus probable (TPP) reserves increasing year over year by 910 per cent and 668 per cent, respectively. Finding, development and acquisition costs of reserves were achieved at “attractive metrics” of $3.15/boe for TP and $2.14/boe for TPP ($9.69/boe for TP and $9.28/boe including future development capital) which it said are top tier amongst light oil peers.

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
The fourth quarter of 2021 marked the end of the integration period of the Oxbow acquisition and the beginning of the development of the company’s new core growth unit in southeastern Saskatchewan. Saturn drilled four successful horizontal wells in light oil-bearing Frobisher zones in the Glen Ewen area in the fourth quarter of 2021, which were placed into production in December of 2021 and in January of 2022. The initial production of Saturn’s first group of Oxbow wells has exceeded the company’s expectations averaging 96.3 bpd per well, for the first 30 days, representing a 40 per cent increase above the average type curve of all wells drilled in Southeast Saskatchewan Mississippian play in the past five years, with a sample size of 1,400 wells.
The initial success of these drill results has encouraged Saturn to undertake a 29.2 net well drilling program for 2022 at the Oxbow asset. This program is planned to be executed by one drilling rig which has been contracted throughout 2022, the company said.
Saturn directed substantially all of its Q3 2021 capital expenditure program to the Viking asset in west central Saskatchewan with the drilling of three successful horizontal wells in the Loverna area. The Viking asset contains 53 gross booked drilling locations with reserves at year end 2021 representing approximately 15 per cent of the company’s overall booked drilling locations. Subsequent to year end, Saturn acquired a synergistic asset in Viking area increasing the company’s land position 200 per cent and adding additional drilling locations, in February 2022. Saturn has budgeted to drill five net Viking wells, starting in June of 2022, representing approximately 15 per cent of the wells Saturn plans to drill in 2022.
Over the period of the boom, Crescent Point bought up the assets of many companies in southeast Saskatchewan, and a substantial portion of that is what Saturn acquired as its “Oxbow asset.” As a result, the newcomer to the area also has a substantial number of old wells it is now liable for.
Saturn said it continues to prioritize the abandonment and reclamation of wells that no longer have economic production potential as part of the company’s land reclamation program. The company has contracted two service rigs to work exclusively on decommissioning old well bores and to date 38 wells have been abandoned. Saturn’s land
reclamation program in 2022 is 100 per cent funded by $13.8 million awarded under the Accelerated Site Closure Program (ASCP) and through the Indigenous business credit pool. The company is targeting abandoning a total of 150 to 200 unproductive wells in 2022. Saturn continues to have a $21 million deposit with the Saskatchewan government for future abandonment and reclamation obligations.
Saturn said it is pursuing a balanced approach to sustainable production growth and rapid repayment of debt. The company is forecasting 2022 to be another record year for oil and gas production, as outlined in the March 15, 2022 announcement of the fully funded $50 million capital program. The budgeted 2022 capital program is expected to result in:
Average 2022 annual production in the range of 7,800 to 8,200 boepd;
Generating hedged EBITDA in the range of $73 to $77 million, based on USD $75 WTI oil price assumption;
Corporate hedged EBITDA to reach between $93 to $97 million, based on USD $100 WTI oil price assumption; and
Q4 2022 average production in the range of 8,100 to 8,500 boepd, representing year-over-year production growth between 12 per cent – 17 per cent.
As a guiding principle, Saturn intends to direct approximately 50 per cent of future corporate cash flow towards growth capital expenditures and approximately 50 per cent to the repayment of debt. Saturn is committed to reducing debt levels in the near term and expects to make principal payments of approximately $38 million in 2022 and $40 million in 2023 which is expected to result in approximately zero net debt by year end 2023, assuming USD $75 WTI oil prices, under its current senior term loan. Saturn anticipates that when future debt levels reach a sustainable level and debt repayments are terminated, the company will have the capability to direct a portion of corporate cash flow to shareholders in the form of a dividend or share buyback program, subject to board of directors’ approval. Saturn has outstanding 13.4 million warrants, on a post consolidated basis, that expire on June 4, 2023 (trading symbol SOIL.WT, post-consolidated strike price of $3.20/share) that if exercised, would result in up to $42.9 million of proceeds that could accelerate the reduction of net debt.

Running a household requires the skills of a juggler. First come the kids and their schedules, then toss in cooking, cleaning, car repair and pets. As most parents will attest, just when you think you've got it, the unexpected comes along to throw everything off balance! Start and stop ... the juggling act never ends.
Now, my son calls himself a juggler too, but for him it's juggling oranges out of the fruit bowl, potatoes from the pantry or just about anything that crosses his path.
Then, with some creative thinking, we came up with some alternatives, like a set of juggling balls.
Much to his delight, he made these handy, sturdy balls in minutes using basic supplies we had in the kitchen. Here's how:
1. Scoop 1/2 cup of uncooked instant rice into a plastic sandwich bag. For heavier balls, you may substitute dried beans or clean sand. Pinch the bag tightly around the rice, squeeze out any air, make it into a ball shape and secure the ball shape with a rubber band. Cut off the excess plastic bag near the rubber-band knot.
2. Cut the tip off the neck end of two
sturdy, medium-size balloons in contrasting colors. Stretch one of the balloons over the filled bag, making sure the rubber-band side is completely covered. The balloon should fit very tightly. Snip three or four quarter-inch holes randomly on the second balloon. Stretch it over the ball, covering the opening of the first balloon. The cutouts will reveal the color of the first balloon.
Make sturdy juggling balls in minutes using common household items.
3. Make several balls with a variety of cutout shapes and colors, and let the performance begin! For extra-sturdy balls, add a third balloon. Store your set of juggling balls in an empty and clean Pringle's-style chip can. Cover with decorative adhesive-backed paper.
TIP: If you are a beginning juggler, practice the moves using three lightweight chiffon scarves. When you toss them in the air one by one, they come back down slowly to help you get the hang of it!
