I got the JW sampler set last year for Christmas. Not a fan of the black but the rest are decent. The blue is obviously very smooth but not something I would pay full price for. There are quite a few...

Seems to me like we may have seen the bottom for Calgary real estate, or at least single family homes. Oil prices have recovered and are rising, the cost to build new homes keeps going up, interest...

I had a very similar looking garage and decided to finish/paint the walls when I had some trades in my place for other work. The mess from the drywallers mudding and sanding was way worse than I...

I think CPX fits into this bucket

Went from engineering at a junior O&G producer to full time MBA when times got tough and the company closed its doors. Subsequently moved into a finance role at a bank and then recently jumped to a...

The big crew change turned into a big myth when the industry started laying people off by the thousands. The situation now seems to be a glut of overpaid boomers at the top of the industry that are...

It's crazy to think that these US shale companies essentially did this to themselves by becoming too good at producing oil and gas. Chesapeake was one of the pioneers of multi-stage fracking and the...

I'll throw another recommendation in for Perfect Home. Lot's of stuff there that's good value and made in Canada. Make sure you negotiate down off the list price though.

I have mixed views on the accelerated program. On one hand, I think they are diluting the brand by lowering entrance requirements and requiring less courses to get the same degree. On the other...

Liquor Depot on 17th ave and 11th street SW has a dozen or more on tap. Prices were about $15 - $20 for 64 oz

I will chime in here since I have some experience with the program. The students that get the best value out of the Haskayne MBA are the ones that have specific goals or objectives on what they want...

Wilcox pass would fit the bill of having spectacular views without being overly difficult.

When I look back 1 year ago from today, WTI was at $100/bbl. From 2011 - 2014 WTI was consistently $90-$100/bbl. Today it is $50/bbl.

Production growth in the US has been significant over the...

Hi Tim,
I was looking at the new Alberta provincial budget and see that there is a significant increase in Land Transfer Tax/Fees. Here is an article in the Herald on the fee increase: ...

The combined MBA/M.Eng is no longer offered at the U of A. Not sure why, as it seemed like a good fit for engineers going back to university.

As for the course-based M.Eng programs in PetE, I...

This is a good strategy but you can't say you are getting the same quality/size/location of home renting for $1400 compared to buying for $400k. So while that extra $600/month will help you save for...

I don't really like the suggestions that all of those getting laid off are the bottom performers and deserve to lose their jobs. For many it's simply a matter of what group you're in, how well...

So this only adds cost to mortgages insured by CMHC? How much will this increase the costs of say a $380,000 mortgage with 5% or $20,000 down?

Just to be clear, I am looking at the full time program as a 'plan B' right now if I lose my job and am unable to get an engineering role at another company. The longer oil stays at $55/bbl, the...

I know there are several MBA threads already on here, but I'm hoping to get some more specific feedback on my situation. My experience is ~4 years as an engineer at a small private oil company,...

Maybe not for everyone, but I did a caving adventure tour when I was there that was really fun. There is a huge network of thermal caves under the city and it was quite the experience climbing all...

What other implications would it have on your spouse if you filed together (assuming American citizen with Canadian spouse)? Would the spouse then be subject to additional US taxation as well, such...

Many companies budget using price forecasts published by independent reserve evaluators (Sproule, GLJ, McDaniels, etc). $97/bbl (WTI price, USD) was right in line with those forecasts last year. ...

Anyone follow Legacy Oil and Gas? I am seeing the latest downturn as a possible buying opportunity.

Anyone still following SOG (Strategic Oil & Gas)? They're down to $0.36 despite what looked like a decent Q2 report. Would this be a good entry point?

I would definitely take the field operator job if I was in your position. Getting your foot in the door with an E&P company is very important as a new grad, as I'm sure you are seeing. There are...

Anyone holding Spartan Energy? SPE.CVE
Recently closed on the Renegade acquisition and look like a good growth story.

I believe you have to pay the CMHC premium on the full amount of the second mortgage unless you have 80% or less LTV. You might be better off reducing the size of your mortgage on the new place to...

Anyone follow LGX Oil and Gas (CVE:OIL)? Company that was formerly Bowood Energy. They released some initial production results in the 'Alberta Bakken' (Three Forks) at close yesterday with some...

PM'd.

I don't have all the pricing, just a few quotes on 2 bedroom units.

Anyone have thoughts on Lido in Kensington?

http://www.battistella.ca/lido/index.php

It looks like prices for the 2 bedroom units start around $650/sq. ft and go up from there :eek:

I don`t buy the argument that chinooks make the roads worse. Over the past week the roads in Calgary are as bad as I`ve ever seen them and the temperature was consistently cold. In fact, today was...

My team has 17 full time guys that cover the league fees. It might seem like too many but there are almost always 5-6 guys that can't make it on any given night. We don't charge our goalie anything...

Big thanks to Todd for the gift card!

Not sure which companies are busy out there right now but the rig count and utilization look similar to this time last year and down a bit from 2011.

Here are the stats: ...

What is the dress code these days for an interview at a large or intermediate oil and gas company for a technical position (engineering, accounting, geoscience) with a few years of experience? Is it...

I traded all my NFK for DXE last week when they were both at $0.25. There is more value in DXE with a 52.5% WI in the JV, an additional cash flowing asset in Hungary and less fully diluted shares. ...

...

I sold out my initial investment today at $0.23. Planning on holding the rest until they release BHN-1 test results. I still think there is some significant risk on this one and am surprised it...

NFK is an onshore prospect.
