Strathcona Resources selling Montney assets for $2.84 billion
- In the first quarter of 2025, Strathcona Resources completed the sale of its Montney properties for approximately $2.84 billion and purchased the Hardisty Rail Terminal, the largest crude-by-rail facility in Western Canada.
- The company executed these transactions to consolidate its core area and shift focus toward becoming a pure-play heavy oil producer.
- Montney assets included Kakwa, Grande Prairie, and Groundbirch producing 72,000 barrels of oil equivalent daily and generating $149 million or 12% of last year's operating profit, while Hardisty is the largest crude-by-rail facility in Western Canada.
- Strathcona anticipates producing 180,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2025, with output expected to decrease to between 120,000 and 125,000 barrels daily in subsequent quarters after selling certain assets.
- These moves position Strathcona as a heavy oil company controlling rail terminals handling about 80% of Western Canada's crude-by-rail volumes, indicating a strategic business shift.
