Athabasca Oil Corporation says its Hangingstone project has 15 well pairs on production with an additional six on circulation.

The project is currently producing over 4,000 barrels per day with a target goal of 12,000 bbl/d by the end of 2016.

“Reservoir response, plant reliability and initial production ramp-up continues to meet management’s expectations,” stated the company in a press release.

It’s already met its low end targets for 2015 year-end between 3,000 – 6,000 bbl/d. The SAGD site located about 20 kilometres southwest of Fort McMurray reached first oil in July. Athabasca Oil Corporation invested $536 million of capital budget into the project.
