Drilling Wells (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Drilling through the rock
Horizontal, open hole
Surface casing set
Developing fields we go
Payout’s pretty swift
If frac intensity is right
The highest-rate wells are ERH
When the reservoir is tight! Oh!

|: chorus :|
Drilling wells, drilling wells,
Drilling night and day.
Oh! what fun it is to drill
When you’re in thicker pay. Hey!
Drilling wells, drilling wells,
Drilling night and day.
Oh! what fun it is to drill
When you’re in thicker pay.

Some decades ago
Shallow gas ruled the day
Commodity prices dropped
And to oil gave way,
Bitumen is cool
But SAGD makes it hot
Whatever helps the oil flow
Is really the upshot

|: chorus :|

Now resource plays are big,
The Duvernay will tell
The Montney’s on the up,
And the Clearwater as well;
Acquisitions left and right
Everything’s for sale,
But we know it will be alright,
As juniors grow to whales. Ah!

|: chorus :|

Lithium is bright
And helium abounds,
Geothermal’s pretty hot
Carbon’s pumped into the ground;
To get the proper rights
It’s not so cut and dried
Just get your ducks all in a row
And you will do all right!

|: chorus :|
