The development of which produced even more oil. The field was eventually determined to be 32 km (20 mi.) long and 6½ km (4 mi.) wide. By 1953 the oil field supported 926 wells and was producing almost 30% of the entire province's output. The large volume of crude being produced made the construction of large transmission pipelines essential. [32]
In Turner Valley, the mistakes oil companies made led to billions of dollars in damage to the oil field by gas flaring which not only burned billions of dollars worth of gas with no immediate market, but destroyed the field's gas drive that enabled the oil to be produced. The gas flares in Turner Valley were visible in the sky from Calgary, 75 ...

Producers drew almost 6,000 barrels (950 m 3) of heavy oil from the field in that year. A small-scale local refinery distilled the heavy goo into usable products. Elsewhere in Alberta, petroleum explorers made other heavy oil finds as they pursued the elusive successor to the Turner Valley oil field.
Between 1980 and 1984, Mobil drilled nine delineation wells in the field at a cost of $465 million. Eight of those wells were successful. They established the field's recoverable oil reserves at around 625 million barrels (99,400,000 m 3) – about 40 per cent more oil than originally estimated. Bringing the field on production was a long time ...
