Bindloss, a small hamlet located in Alberta, Canada, is a testament to the province’s rich energy industry. Situated in the southeast region of Alberta, Bindloss is known for its significant contribution to the province’s natural gas reserves. Calgary-based Enterra Energy Corp. acquired a natural gas property in the Bindloss area, which contains over 3.5 Bcf of proven reserves. The property, covering 7,840 acres, is characterized by long-life reserves produced from an average depth of 1,800 feet. The area is known for its long-life reserves, with the average reserve life of the Bindloss pool being approximately 15 years.

The Bindloss area is not just about natural gas. It also played a role in the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project. The pipeline, which was supposed to run from Hardisty, Alberta, to Steele City, Nebraska, had a portion of its construction completed in Bindloss. Despite the project’s eventual cancellation, the Bindloss Pump Station stands as a testament to Alberta’s commitment to energy development.

Despite its small size and remote location, Bindloss serves as a microcosm of Alberta’s energy sector. It showcases the province’s rich natural resources, its commitment to energy development, and the resilience of its people. Whether it’s the natural gas reserves, the remnants of the Keystone XL pipeline, or the lives of its residents, Bindloss embodies the spirit of Alberta.
