Focus on long-term shareholder value through disciplined growth in Alberta's Montney resource, targeting 76,000–79,000 boe/d average production in 2025 and $480 million adjusted funds flow.
Five-year outlook targets 14% production growth, cumulative free funds flow of $670 million, and total debt reduction to $125 million by 2029.

No fixed price contracts, providing full exposure to commodity prices and diversified gas sales, with 76% of 2025 volumes sold in higher-priced NYMEX and Dawn markets.
