Charlie Lake Formation

The Charlie Lake Formation at Valhalla was deposited in a Sabka environment with interbedded dolomite and anhydrite. Lateral discontinuity within these beds leads to excellent reservoir conditions for horizontal multi-stage frac completions.

The target zone is found at depths between 1,900-2,050 metres.

At Valhalla, Archer is targeting light oil within the Lower Charlie Lake Formation. There is abundant Charlie Lake oil production from offsetting producers including Canadian Natural, Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd., Whitecap Resources Inc. as well as Archer’s core Charlie Lake production as shown on the following map. Archer’s non-core Charlie Lake rights associated with the Valhalla property are shown in yellow.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting cash offers to acquire the Properties until 12:00 pm on Thursday March 19, 2026. 


 
Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a "second-round" bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude
transactions with the parties submitting the most acceptable proposals at the conclusion of the process.

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting cash offers from interested parties until
noon on Thursday March 19, 2026.

NOTE REGARDING A SAYER PROCESS
 
On each and every offering brochure generated by Sayer, you will note the sentence “Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a “second-round” bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude a sale of the Properties with the party submitting the most acceptable proposal at the conclusion of the process.” What this means is that Sayer will not go back to multiple parties at the same time after bids are received, asking them all for a second bid. We determine which party submitted the most acceptable proposal and then we attempt to negotiate acceptable terms with that party in a “one-off” situation.

If the process involves a cash sale of a property or company and the party which submitted the most acceptable proposal has met our client’s threshold value, that offer will be accepted. If this proposal does not meet our client’s threshold value, then we will advise that party that the offer is not quite what our client was expecting, and we will ask them to increase the offer. If that offer is not acceptable to our client, we will then move down to the party which submitted the next most acceptable proposal and we will then work with that party to attempt to meet our client’s threshold value.

 
In the extremely rare circumstance where two or more parties submit virtually identical proposals, we will contact all  parties, we will advise them of this situation and we will ask them to submit a revised proposal.  Once these are received, we will work with the party which has submitted the most acceptable proposal.
