Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - September 29, 2025 – WesCan Energy Corp. (“WesCan” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its recently drilled Provost well (04/15-27-038-03W4/0) has established commercially economic production.
The well, which began production in early September, has transitioned smoothly from initial fluid recovery to consistent oil and gas output. Daily production volumes have shown a steady upward trend, marking a key milestone in the development of this asset.
In addition, WesCan successfully completed a battery turnaround in the Provost area during September, ensuring enhanced operational reliability and production handling capacity.

Oil production increased from 6 m³/day (~38 bop/d) at startup to over 14 m³/day (~88 bop/d) mid-month, peaking at 16.4 m³/day (~103 bop/d).
-
Gas production rose steadily, exceeding 1.0 e³m³/day (~35.3 Mcf/d) by the third week of September.
-
Water cut improved to an average of ~65% mid-month, with signs of further stabilization.
