Prospera Energy is a Calgary-based heavy oil producer that brings shut-in wells in Saskatchewan and Alberta back on production instead of drilling new ones. It produces about 745 boe/d, reported record revenue of C$6.2MM in Q2 2026, and its first ten reactivations have returned 1.92 times their capital. A C$12MM unit private placement funds the next round of restarts.
Three things the October 2026 investor presentation makes clear.
Prospera's Western Canadian heavy oil fields hold about 379 MMbbl of oil in place with only 8 to 10% recovered, and more than 140 wells shut in but not depleted. Bringing them back costs about C$11K per boe/d of production, which the company puts at three to five times cheaper than drilling.
The first ten wells restarted in 2025 took C$1.14MM of capital and have generated C$2.19MM of operating income. Nine have paid out, three of them twice. This fall's five Luseland workovers lifted oil rates from 15 to 54.5 bbl/d and came in 23% under budget.
Luseland production rose from 54 to 244 boe/d without a new well, driving record quarterly revenue in Q2 2026. The senior term loan was extended to August 2028, so placement proceeds go into wells rather than debt repayment, with WCS heavy oil near C$100 per barrel.
