CALGARY, Alberta (Oct. 28, 2025) Enverus Intelligence® Research (EIR), a subsidiary of Enverus, the most trusted energy-dedicated SaaS company that leverages generative AI across its solutions, released a report today that explores the production outlook and operator activity for the Duvernay shale in Alberta. The report highlights the emergence of Willesden Green as a key growth engine for liquids-rich development.

“Willesden Green is quickly becoming the most important region for growth in the Duvernay,” said Chayse Hnatowich, associate at EIR. “Its potential to deliver high liquids cuts and scale development makes it a strategic asset for meeting future condensate demand.”

Key Takeaways:

  • Duvernay wellhead liquids production is forecast to grow ~70% to 200 Mbbl/d by 2030, with Willesden Green contributing half of that growth.
  • Willesden Green breakeven economics range from $45 to $55/bbl WTI, with wells in the oil window showing the strongest economics.
  • Ongoing delineation drilling has proven up a significant amount of inventory in Willesden Green, with some operators adding over 80% more economically viable locations year-over-year.
