Current operations

Our operations in and around Strathmore focus primarily on coalbed methane (CBM) and shallow gas development. The low-pressure, sweet gas we develop here is located in coal found in various areas of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. One of our predecessor companies drilled our first two wells in Strathmore in 1962.
