TSB reported that the Airborne Energy Solutions Ltd. Robinson R44, C-GAEE, was conducting a visual patrol of the oil fields northeast of Whitecourt, AB. After being airborne for approximately 35 minutes, the engine (Avco Lycoming O-540-F1B5) began to lose power. The pilot picked an oil well lease site for a precautionary landing and while descending to the intended landing spot, the engine lost and regained power and then finally quit. The pilot entered autorotation and on landing the aircraft bounced, resulting in the skid gear spreading and the mast rocking. The pilot, who was the sole occupant, was uninjured.
