In a landscape teeming with data, the pivotal question on everyone’s mind remains: “Which data holds the key to unlocking the best opportunities for our company?” The world of deals is evolving – gone are the days of “napkin drawing & handshake deals”. Companies operate leaner, navigating a terrain marked by governmental involvement and heightened stakeholder expectations around net zero emissions and retirement obligations. Financial institutions are exercising caution and exploration companies are focused on balancing debt obligations while providing dividend value to shareholders. Accessing capital remains a global challenge, and every deal undergoes intense scrutiny.
February: Canadian Oil and Gas SWOT for Acquisition and Divestiture
In the dynamic landscape of Canada’s oil and gas sector, doing a strategic assessment of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) provides a crucial framework for acquisition and divestiture decisions.
As we look back on the past year of industry news, several key factors emerge that, combined, exert significant influence on the direction and outcomes of future A&D endeavors. From climate policies shaping regulatory landscapes to market volatility dictating investment strategies, and from innovations driving efficiency gains to indigenous engagement molding social licenses, every facet demands meticulous consideration.
March: Abandonment & Reclamation Across WCSB in 2023
With an ever-growing focus on clean-up within the oil and gas sector, it’s time to take our annual look back on liabilities reduction work across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB).
XI Technologies conducted an analysis of liability values and reclamation totals, comparing activity from 2022 to 2023, with the aim of obtaining a comprehensive overview of the status of oil and gas liabilities as of December 31, 2023.
April: Central Alberta – Black Gold Beneath the Prairies
In the dynamic landscape of oil and gas production, Central Alberta is commanding a significant portion of recent production. Looking at data current to Feb 2024, 31% of the production from wells spudded in the last three months are located within the Central Alberta Region.
May: Pipeline to the Future – How Summer Students Reinvent the Industry
As the Canadian oil and gas industry faces evolving challenges and opportunities, the role of summer students becomes increasingly crucial. These students are not merely temporary workers; they represent the future of the various departments within the organizations they join.
