Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - April 9, 2026 – Wescan Energy Corp. (TSXV:WCE) ("Wescan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired a trade license for existing 3D seismic data covering its Provost asset area. The acquisition represents a significant step forward in the Company's ongoing efforts to optimize development and de-risk future drilling operations across its core Provost holdings.

 

The licensed 3D seismic data is currently undergoing processing and is expected to provide Wescan with high-resolution subsurface imaging across the project area. Once processing is complete, the dataset will become a critical tool in the Company's technical workflow, supporting reservoir characterization, target identification, and detailed geological interpretation.

 

Management views the acquisition as a cost-effective alternative to commissioning a new seismic program, allowing Wescan to leverage proven, high-quality data while accelerating its technical evaluation timeline. The 3D volume will play a vital role in the design of future wellbores, enabling more precise placement of horizontal sections, improved geosteering, and enhanced confidence in identifying optimal drilling locations.

 

"Securing this 3D seismic dataset is an important milestone for Wescan as we continue to advance our Provost assets," said Leo Berezan, Chief Executive Officer of Wescan Energy Corp.

 

Sarshar Ahmad, Chief Operating Officer, added: "Once processing is complete, our technical team, working alongside our geophysicist, will integrate this 3D data directly into our well planning process for 2026 summer drilling program. The improved subsurface imaging will allow us to refine wellbore trajectories, optimize landing points, and enhance geosteering on future drills, ultimately reducing risk and improving the performance of our Provost development program."

 

The Company anticipates that the integration of the 3D seismic interpretation with existing geological, petrophysical, and production data will strengthen its inventory of drill-ready locations and support disciplined capital allocation as Wescan moves forward with its development program.
