Chancellor to drill on Blood land
Page 10
Chancellor Energy Resources has landed an exploration permit which will allow it to drill on 55,000 acres of Blood Reserve land.
Chancellor will pay the band a lump sum for exploration rights and royalties equal to those paid on Alberta Crown-owned lands.
Tom MacKay, Chancellor president, said the deal is "a coup," since the reserve lands are unexplored and the permit is for 10 years.
Chancellor plans to drill two wells in search of natural gas and conduct seismic tests. If they are successful, another four wells could be drilled by year's end.
