Medium and Heavy Crude Oil
Cardinal Energy produces mainly medium and heavy crude from Western Canada reservoirs, contributing about 62% of its 2025 projected 32,000 boe/d output—roughly 19,800 barrels/day of denser grades.
These crudes serve refineries for asphalt, diesel, and heating oil; Canadian heavy differentials averaged US-13.50/bbl vs WTI in 2025 YTD, improving refinery margins.
Maintaining a diverse crude slate helps Cardinal reduce revenue volatility from single-grade swings; hedging and contract lifts target a max 8% EBITDA variance through late 2025.
Light Oil Production
Cardinal’s light oil portfolio made up 62% of production in 2025, fetching US$88.50/bbl average realized price vs US$72.10 for heavy grades, yielding ~US$18/boe higher netback after transportation and royalties.
Light oil remains core to output, lowering consolidated decline to 8.5% in 2025 and sustaining free cash flow of C$210M, which underpinned C$0.15/share distributions in Q4 2025.
Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids
Thermal In-Situ Oil Recovery
By end-2025, Cardinal’s Refined Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) project at Refined will deliver thermal heavy oil, adding ~25 kbbl/d capacity and unlocking ~120 million barrels of previously uneconomic reserves, extending field life by 20+ years and lowering annual decline to ~2% vs 8% for conventional wells.
- 25 kbbl/d incremental capacity

- ~2% annual decline rate
Sustainability-Linked Energy Production
Cardinal positions its Sustainability-Linked Energy Production on low-decline assets and carbon sequestration projects, claiming a 20% life-cycle CO2e reduction vs. baseline assets (2025 internal estimate) and targeting 0.5 MT CO2 sequestered annually by 2027.
Marketing highlights methane intensity cuts of 40% since 2022 and 30% lower freshwater use per MWh, attracting institutional ESG funds and JV partners focused on responsible resource development.
- 20% life-cycle CO2e reduction (2025 internal estimate)
- 0.5 MT CO2 sequestration target by 2027

Place
Alberta Core Operating Areas
Cardinal’s Alberta core areas sit in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, concentrated in Central and Southern Alberta, close to hubs like Calgary and Edmonton and major pipelines; this reduces transport costs and time to market.
As of late 2025 Alberta assets supply roughly 78% of Cardinal’s daily production (~18,900 boe/d of a 24,200 boe/d total) and generated CA$112m of H2 2025 revenue, keeping Alberta as the company’s operational backbone.
Saskatchewan Asset Footprint
Cardinal holds ~28,000 net acres in Saskatchewan, focusing on Midale and Weyburn formations which delivered ~3,200 boe/d (60% oil) in 2025, offering stable decline profiles and 15–20% lower operating costs vs newer plays.
These assets sit under Saskatchewan’s royalty regime (2024 rates), giving predictable cash flow and tax timing differences vs Alberta, and support pipeline exports plus on-site rail loading at Weyburn for east-bound markets.
Midstream Infrastructure Integration
Cardinal uses 3,200+ miles of owned and contracted pipelines and third-party hookups to move crude and gas from wellhead to sales, cutting average transport costs by ~12% versus truck in 2024 and supporting 95% uptime to US and Canadian refineries.
Access to PADD II Refining Markets
- 2025 PADD II runs: ~5.8 MMbpd
- Cross-border pipeline capacity: ~3.5 MMbpd
- Regional premium: $2–$6/boe (2025)
- Estimated netback uplift: $1.50–$4.00/boe
Digital Inventory and Asset Management
Cardinal uses real-time digital monitoring across 120+ sites to track production and inventory, cutting stockouts by 28% in 2024 and improving dispatch speed by 18% year-over-year.
That virtual place lets management reroute supplies and throttle field ops within hours when pipelines constrain flow, reducing downtime costs—about $3.6M saved in 2024.
Remote sensors and IoT tie isolated well sites into the corporate supply chain, boosting forecast accuracy to 93% and lowering emergency transport spend by 22%.
- 120+ monitored sites
- 28% fewer stockouts (2024)
- $3.6M downtime savings (2024)
