Tamarack Valley Energy and Headwater Exploration Sign Merger Deal

The combined company is expected to produce up to 67,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2026, the companies said.

  • On Tuesday, Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. and Headwater Exploration Inc. announced an all-stock merger valued at $10 billion, creating a major oil producer focused on Alberta's Clearwater formation.
  • Combining their operations positions the companies to leverage low-cost, high-margin production across Marten Hills, Nipisi, and Marten Hills West while maintaining modest reinvestment requirements.
  • Ownership of the combined company will be split, with Tamarack shareholders holding 66.5 per cent and Headwater shareholders owning 33.5 per cent; the combined entity targets 67,500 barrels of oil equivalent daily production.
  • President Steve Buytels will become CEO and join the board on Jan. 1, 2027, while founding CEO Brian Schmidt transitions to executive chairman, pending shareholder approval.
  • Tamarack plans to expand pipeline capacity to Edmonton to mitigate local constraints and access diversified markets, while transferring non-core assets to Tributary Exploration Inc., a new publicly listed firm.
