L'équipe Charbone servira de conseiller expert auprès d'un groupe financier privé malaisien pour le développement et la construction de leur première usine de production modulaire et évolutive dans la région Asie-Pacifique.
Tycoonstory, an online network for startups and entrepreneurs, has profiled Charbone Hydrogen (TSXV:CH,OTCQB:CHHYF,FWB:K47), citing the company as a leading startup making strides in innovation in green hydrogen production.
“With a mission to provide sustainable energy solutions, Charbone is well-positioned to become a key player in the green hydrogen market,” the article said.
A standout feature of Charbone, according to the article, is the company’s strategy to secure multiple production locations for its green hydrogen technology. There are currently 16 locations where Charbone has identified green hydrogen source.
“Charbone’s technological innovations are also noteworthy. The company has developed processes that require less pressure, reducing the risk and cost associated with hydrogen production,” the article said.
Charbone Hydrogen offers a compelling investment opportunity in the US$89 billion green hydrogen market, leveraging a decentralized approach for scalable plant deployment and focusing on environmentally friendly production to reduce carbon footprints.
Charbone Hydrogen (TSXV:CH,OTCQB:CHHYF,FWB:K47) is the only publicly listed green hydrogen firm in Canada looking to expand across North America (US and Canada) with a pipeline of new projects. This is an opportune time for Charbone as the world races to find effective solutions to meet its net-zero ambitions by 2050. Green hydrogen could be a perfect fit as a potentially low-emitting fuel source. There is an increasing realization of the potential of hydrogen in serving as a low-emissions substitute for fossil fuels in residential as well as industrial use cases.
The Government of Canada has laid out its hydrogen policy, aiming to meet nearly 30 percent of its energy requirement in 2050 by hydrogen, as well as become one of the top three clean hydrogen producers globally. The presence of abundant hydroelectric power, favorable government policies, and a progressive tax regime should boost hydrogen production in the country. The 2023 federal budget includes more than $17 billion in tax credits over the next five years to help fund clean energy projects, including hydrogen.
Green hydrogen: key element to decarbonize the world
The US Department of Energy expects to produce 10 million metric tons (MMT) of hydrogen annually by 2030 and eventually reach 50 MMT by 2050. According to US Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk, 50 MMT of hydrogen could power every bus, train, plane and ship in the US.
Charbone stands to benefit from rapid adoption of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. Moreover, Charbone’s focus solely on “green hydrogen” should further its position among investors looking for opportunities to invest in sustainable energy solutions. Green hydrogen is produced when the energy used to power electrolysis comes from renewable sources like wind, water, solar or nuclear. Charbone has clearly stated its intentions to leverage hydropower and nuclear energy to produce hydrogen.
Carbone forged strong partnerships to execute its business model.
Charbone has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ABB to collaborate on the development of up to 15 modular and scalable green hydrogen production facilities across North America over the next five years. Under the MOU, ABB will support CHARBONE in standardizing basic engineering for systems and components across its project portfolio, to increase energy efficiency and reliability.
Among the sites covered by the collaboration is Charbone's flagship Sorel-Tracy facility near Montreal in Québec, Canada, which is currently under construction. The Sorel-Tracy facility is located on a 40,000-square-meter land parcel along Quebec Highway 30, known as the “Steel Highway” because of the numerous steel mills and process plants operating along the highway.
The construction of Phase 1 of its Sorel-Tracy facility is being done in partnership with EBC, one of the largest construction companies in Quebec. EBC has a proven track record of designing and building facilities in Canada and the US. The partnership agreement gives EBC the right of first refusal to construct additional Sorel-Tracy phases, as well as one or all of Charbone’s facilities within the North American market.
In addition, Charbone has entered into several other strategic partnerships all aimed to expand its footprint in North America. The company entered into a special consultancy agreement with Enki GéoSolutions for potential partnership proposals as a co-operator and distributor of an emerging form of clean and renewable hydrogen, known as white or natural hydrogen.
In June 2024, Carbone executed a supply agreement for a complete containerized electrolyzer system ready for shipment to its flagship green hydrogen site in the City of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. The electrolyzer has a higher capacity than originally planned and will significantly enhance initial operational capacity estimates. The company also acquired its first tube trailer for the transport and bulk delivery of compressed green hydrogen produced from the City of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec flagship project to local and domestic customers.
Charbone signed commercial supply agreements (CSAs) with a top-tier US industrial gas producer and distributor. The first CSA secures hydrogen supply ahead of Charbone’s own production, while the second expands its product offerings to include helium and other industrial gases. Positioned to capitalize on emerging North American opportunities, particularly in Canada, Charbone leverages its early-mover advantage to build strategic partnerships and strengthen its role in the low-carbon, high-purity hydrogen market.
This partnership allows Charbone to sell hydrogen produced at the Sorel-Tracy facility to Superior Propane, a subsidiary of Superior Plus. Such supply agreements ensure that Charbone can generate cash flow immediately following the commencement of production.
Carbone Hydrogen entered into an off-take partnership with Superior Plus on the supply and
distribution of green hydrogen.
Another such supply agreement was signed in November 2023 with NEK Community Broadband, which ensures the supply of green hydrogen in the Northeast Kingdom of the state of Vermont (USA). NEK Broadband is building a high-speed broadband infrastructure and plans to install a hydrogen fuel cell backup system for a reliable power supply.
Further advancing its goal of US expansion, Charbone signed a memorandum of understanding in December 2023 with Michigan’s Oakland County Economic Development Department to set up Charbone’s first green hydrogen facility in the United States. Oakland County is home to major automakers, and a green hydrogen facility in their proximity will support the effort of producing environmentally friendly mobility options.
Being the only publicly listed green hydrogen player in Canada, Charbone offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the rise of green hydrogen as a potential low-emitting alternative to fossil fuels.
Dave Gagnon has been chairman and chief executive officer of Charbone Hydrogen Corporation since April 21, 2022. He has been a climate tech entrepreneur for the last 25 years, and was the first entrepreneur in Canada to start a wind turbine company and offer a new alternative energy solution in North America. Gagnon also worked with an institutional investor that manages several public pension plans, Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, where he gained deep knowledge of the financial markets.
Benoit Veilleux was appointed as the CFO of Charbone on August 15, 2022. Veilleux has over 15 years of experience in corporate accounting and finance. He began his professional career at KPMG in 2003, where he managed and coordinated audit teams for public companies until 2010. Since then, he has worked with a number of companies including Air Liquide Canada and the Hypertec Group.
Daniell Charette has been the chief operating officer of Charbone since February 2019. He brings over 25 years of experience in running and managing renewable energy companies. He has worked in senior leadership roles with several renewable companies including NEG Micon A/S, Vestas and Brookfield Power. He has served on various association boards and councils, including the Canadian Wind Energy Association, Association Québécoise des Producteurs d’Énergie Renouvelable, and Latin Wind Energy Association.
Francois Vitez is a hydropower and energy storage expert with more than 24 years of experience in the development, engineering and construction management as well as operations and maintenance of hydropower and energy storage projects in North America and internationally. He is a board member and chair of the Value of Hydropower committee at Waterpower Canada, vice-chair of the Energy Storage Association of Canada, board member of the California Energy Storage Association, and member of the International Hydropower Association.
Patrick Cuddihy is a seasoned operations leader with over 20 years of experience at Air Liquide Canada, to its hydrogen operations team. Patrick brings a wealth of expertise in managing industrial gas production and distribution, having held senior roles including network sales director for Quebec Region, general manager for Pacific Region, director of procurement services, and director of logistics and assets for the Eastern Region.

Shell (NYSE:SHEL) has moved quickly to shut down speculation about a takeover bid for BP (LSE:BP,NYSE:BP), issuing a formal statement under the UK Takeover Code.
According to the company, no talks have taken place and it has no intention of making an offer.
“In response to recent media speculation Shell wishes to clarify that it has not been actively considering making an offer for BP and confirms it has not made an approach to, and no talks have taken place with, BP with regards to a possible offer,” the company said in a statement released Thursday (June 26) morning.
The clarification came after the Wall Street Journal reported that Shell was in early stage discussions to acquire BP, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
The report characterizes the potential tie up as a “landmark combination” of two supermajor oil companies — one that could rival Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX) in scale and reach. It would also represent the largest corporate oil merger since the US$83 billion creation of ExxonMobil at the turn of the century.
Shell’s formal denial triggers Rule 2.8 of the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, barring it from making a bid for BP for the next six months, except under limited circumstances — such as BP inviting an offer, a third-party bid emerging or a material change in circumstances. In doing so, it quells investor anticipation about an energy mega-merger.
“This is a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies and accordingly Shell confirms it has no intention of making an offer for BP. As a result, Shell will be bound by the restrictions set out in Rule 2.8 of the Code,” the company states.
The Journal’s report briefly pushed BP shares higher on Wednesday (June 25) before Shell’s denial tempered gains.
As of Thursday, BP’s share price remains one of the most underperforming among major oil companies, still lagging behind competitors after its much-criticized 2020 strategy to shift away from fossil fuels and ramp up its focus on renewables — an approach it has recently walked back.
BP’s market cap currently stands at around US$80 billion. Factoring in a takeover premium, any bid would likely surpass that amount, placing it as potentially the biggest deal of 2025 and the largest in the energy sector in decades.
Shell, which has a market value exceeding US$200 billion, would have to weigh substantial integration and regulatory challenges in any potential transaction. As mentioned, the company would be able to revisit a bid if BP’s board invites it, or if a third-party competitor steps forward, keeping the door technically and legally open.
Fueling the acquisition rumors is mounting pressure from activist hedge fund Elliott Investment Management, which holds over 5 percent of BP’s shares. Elliott has pushed for sharper cost discipline and improved shareholder returns at the company, criticizing what it views as BP’s inconsistent strategy.
In response, BP has taken steps to refocus on core hydrocarbons. It has boosted oil and gas production targets, slashed clean energy investments and begun unloading non-core businesses. The company is in the process of selling its Castrol-branded lubricants division and is exploring divestment from its solar joint venture, Lightsource BP.
BP also announced earlier this month that Chairman Helge Lund — seen as the architect of the company’s now-receding green transition — is set to step down. The leadership shakeup adds to speculation that BP is becoming more receptive to investor demands and, potentially, corporate consolidation.
Whether or not a Shell-BP deal ever materializes, the broader M&A wave sweeping the oil and gas sector shows no signs of slowing. Chevron is in the process of finalizing its US$53 billion acquisition of Hess (NYSE:HES), though that deal faces legal challenges from Exxon Mobil, which holds overlapping interests.
Exxon itself completed a US$60 billion purchase of Pioneer Natural Resources last year. Diamondback Energy's (NASDAQ:FANG) US$26 billion acquisition of Endeavor Energy Resources in the Permian Basin also reflects the growing appetite for consolidation in an industry facing long-term cost pressures and uncertain regulatory futures.

Oil prices plummeted over 6 percent on Monday (June 23) as Iran launched a missile strike on a US military base in Qatar in retaliation for American airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Reuters reported that Brent crude futures dropped US$4.90, or 6.3 percent, to settle at US$72.19 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slid US$4.60, or 6.2 percent, to US$69.23 per barrel.
The sharp declines followed initial spikes of nearly 5 percent on Sunday (June 22) evening, after US President Donald Trump confirmed that American forces had “obliterated” key Iranian nuclear sites in a joint response with Israel.
Despite dramatic headlines and a week of mounting hostilities, Iran's retaliation against the US appears to have been designed to avoid triggering a full-scale energy crisis.
Tehran targeted the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military installation in the Middle East, and claimed it matched the number of bombs used by the US — a move analysts say may signal a desire to limit escalation.
“It is somewhat the lesser of the two evils. It seems unlikely that they’re going to try and close the Strait of Hormuz,” Matt Smith, lead oil analyst at data and analytics firm Kpler, told Reuters.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20 percent of the world’s oil supply flows daily, has long been seen as a flashpoint in Middle East conflict scenarios. Iran's parliament has reportedly approved a measure to close the vital waterway, but implementation would require a nod from Iran's national security council.
Experts have noted that such a move could prove harmful for Iran, which relies on the strait to export oil.
Oil traders initially braced for the worst as futures soared to five month highs on fears of supply disruptions.
Brent briefly touched US$81.40 before swiftly tumbling nearly US$9, while WTI reversed from US$78.40 to under $70 by Monday afternoon. The selloff was driven by relief that oil infrastructure was not targeted, as well as broader market optimism that hostilities may not spiral further — at least not yet.
Even so, shipping data indicates growing unease.
At least two oil supertankers made U-turns near the Strait of Hormuz following the US strikes.
The Coswisdom Lake and South Loyalty reversed course before ultimately entering the Persian Gulf, illustrating the caution with which commercial operators are treating the volatile region.
Oil’s tumble offered a temporary reprieve to global equities.
The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:INX) rose 0.7 percent by mid-afternoon, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) gained 269 points. The Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) was up 0.8 percent as investors speculated that Iran’s restrained retaliation might mark a turning point — or at least a pause — in the military escalation.
“The key question is what comes next,” analysts at S&P Global Commodity Insights wrote in a note, as reported by the Financial Times. “Will Iran attack US interests directly or through allied militias? Will Iranian crude exports be suspended? Will Iran attack shipping in the Strait of Hormuz?”
Meanwhile, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to urge increased domestic production in an effort to suppress oil prices, posting: “To the Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!”
Earlier in the day, the president warned oil producers: “EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY.”
Trump’s concern underscores the political stakes of rising energy costs. Though oil prices have climbed around 10 percent since Israel’s initial strike on Iran 10 days ago, they remain below their January levels.
As oil markets brace for the next move, one thing is clear: while a major supply disruption has been avoided — for now — any shift in Tehran’s strategy could send prices spiraling again.
“So far, not a single drop of oil has been lost to the global market,” said Bjarne Schieldrop of SEB. “But the market is still on edge awaiting what Iran will do.”

In the face of geopolitical strife oil and gas prices were able to register moderate gains through the first half of 2025, although the second half of the year is likely to be punctuated with continued unrest and supply chain fragility.
Oil benchmarks ended the first quarter slightly off their 2025 start positions, with Brent crude coming in at US$76.08 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WT) hitting US$72.87 per barrel before headwinds began sending values lower.
In early May, both benchmarks dropped sharply, Brent slipping nearly 6 percent to US$60.48 while WTI fell to US$57.42, a near two year low. The decline was driven by a combination of weak demand and rising supply as OPEC+ signaled plans to boost production in July, adding to existing oversupply concerns after a surge in global inventories.
Additionally, signs of cooling economic growth in China and renewed trade war anxiety between the US and China further pressured market sentiment. As concerns over a trade war and energy tariffs subsided, prices were able to rally through the rest of May and June to hold in the US$78.42 and US$77.19 range for Brent and WTI, respectively.
Now approaching the year-to-date high level global strife and potential supply constraints are adding support.
During an International Energy Agency (IEA) presentation, Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA, addressed the current challenges in the global landscape, particularly the mounting conflict in the Middle East.
“The situation is still unfolding, and there are many uncertainties (about) how and if it is going to have structural impacts on the oil and energy markets,” he said, noting that the IEA would not be speculating.
However, Birol did underscore Iran’s position in the global oil market.
“According to our oil market report, currently, Iran produces about 4.8 million barrels per day (mb/d) of crude, condensate and NGL and exports are around 1.8 mb/d of crude oil and 800,000 b/d of products,” he said. “For now, when we look at the markets, we do not see a major supply disruption.”
Although the regional conflicts have infused uncertainty into markets, longer term fundamentals like supply and demand trends are painting a volatile picture.
As noted in the IEA’s recently released Oil 2025: Analysis and Forecast to 2030 report, supply is likely to outpace demand this year and next.
“Our expectations for demand growth are much less than the supply growth,” explained Birol. “We expect demand this year to grow about 700,000 barrels per day, whereas the supply growth we expect is more than double, about 1.8 mb/d.”
More broadly, the IEA report forecasts global oil demand to rise by 2.5 mb/d between 2024 and 2030, reaching 105.5 mb/d by decade’s end.
However, most of that growth will occur early in the period, with gains slowing after 2026 and dipping slightly by 2030. Weaker economic growth and a shift away from oil use in transportation and power generation are the main factors behind the long term slowdown.
Much of the demand forecast is dominated by powerhouse countries US and China which account for 20 mb/d and 13 mb/d respectively, comprising 33 percent of global demand. As such changes to either country's market can have a large sale effect across the sector.
“When we look at the supply side, global oil production in the last 10 years or so, more than 90 percent of the growth came from the United States. And on the demand side, more than 60 percent of the global oil demand growth came from China,” said Birol. “This came almost parallel and simultaneously.”
Now, again working in tandem, US oil production growth is slowing due to economic and geological factors, while China’s oil demand is also losing momentum as its economy shifts and its transportation sector evolves according to Birol.
Economic concerns are also an issue across the globe, and historically gross domestic product is heavily correlated to oil demand.
Global GDP is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 3 percent through 2030, but that growth is uneven. OECD countries will see slower expansion at 1.8 percent, while non-OECD nations are projected to grow at 3.9 percent.
This global pace falls short of the 2010s trend, with factors like aging populations and reduced globalization weighing on long-term growth and trade.
China’s slowdown is particularly sharp, with its annual GDP growth nearly four percentage points lower than in the previous decade due to structural economic and demographic challenges.
While GDP remains a key driver of oil demand, its influence is fading.
Oil consumption is set to rise in 2025 and 2026 in line with economic growth, but from 2027 onward, demand is expected to plateau and then slightly decline. That shift is being driven by the growing use of alternatives in transportation and power generation.
Despite a projected decline in US output, the IEA expects oil supply to remain robust in other regions.
“We expect between now and 2030, about 5 mb/d of additional production capacity,” the CEO of the IEA remarked.
“A big chunk of it is coming from what we call the American quintet, namely US, Brazil, Canada, Guyana and Argentina. These five countries will bring a lot of oil to the markets.”
Providing a more detailed look at the supply picture, Toril Bosoni, head of oil industry and markets division at the IEA reiterated that global oil supply is on track to outpace demand through 2030, offering a stabilizing force in an otherwise uncertain energy landscape.
As Bosoni explained, supply is expected to grow by 1.8 mb/d in 2025, a trend largely being driven by non-OPEC+ countries, particularly in the Americas.
Additionally, natural gas liquids are playing an increasingly important role in this growth, as US shale production shifts focus and Saudi Arabia expands its gas-linked output.
“Looking into the next year, from 2025 until 2030 we can see that the United States is still a big source of supply growth, but the pace of growth is much slower than what we have seen for the past decade, and it's largely driven by gas liquids, as activity in the shale patch is slowing down and getting more into the gas side,” said Bosoni.
IEA data projects total global oil supply capacity to rise by about 5 mb/d by the end of the decade. Most of this growth will come from outside OPEC, and is closely aligned with rising demand for petrochemical feedstocks, such as ethane and naphtha, which bypass the traditional refining process.
However, traditional crude supply is expected to see only modest gains unless additional projects—many of which have yet to reach a final investment decision—move forward.
The refining sector, meanwhile, may face increasing pressure as fuel demand flattens and high-cost plants, particularly in Europe and parts of Asia, become less competitive.
Despite slowing demand, the coming years are expected to bring ample supply—helping to buffer against geopolitical shocks and lending some reassurance to markets amid broader global economic headwinds, Bosoni added.
The natural gas markets faced heightened volatility through H12025, driven by several key factors. A milder-than-expected winter in major consuming regions like the US and Europe led to weaker heating demand, pushing prices lower early in the year.
However, Q2 saw a rebound as unseasonably hot weather in Asia and parts of North America boosted cooling demand. Supply disruptions, including maintenance delays at major LNG export facilities in the U.S. and Australia, further tightened markets.
Starting the year at US$3.65 per metric million British thermal units, prices rose to a H1 high of US$4.49 in March, before falling to a H1 low of US$2.99 in late April.
Geopolitical tensions, particularly instability in the Middle East affecting shipping routes, added upward pressure through May and June pushing prices back above US$4.00 by mid-June.

Natural gas liquids (NGLs) are emerging as a major driver of global oil supply growth through the end of the decade, with output forecast to rise by 2 mb/d to 15.5 mb/d by 2030, according to the IEA.
Much of this increase will come from North America and the Middle East, which will account for nearly half of all global supply gains over the next five years.
As noted in the report, the surge is being fueled by rising production from lighter, gas-rich fields and unconventional reserves.
The US, already the top NGL producer, will increase output from 6.9 mb/d in 2024 to 7.8 mb/d in 2030. Saudi Arabia is set to boost production from 1.4 mb/d to 2 mb/d over the same timeframe, while Canada will add 300,000 b/d.
This expanding supply is feeding demand for petrochemical feedstocks like ethane, propane and butane, vital in the production of everything from plastics to clean cooking fuel.
Ethane demand alone is expected to climb by 610,000 b/d to 5.2 mb/d by 2030, while LPG consumption is forecast to rise by 1.3 mb/d to 11.8 mb/d. Asia—led by China and India—will account for more than 65 percent of global LPG demand growth.
The rise of NGLs also poses a long-term challenge to traditional refining, as many of these products bypass refining altogether. With petrochemical demand outpacing that for transportation fuels, refiners may face margin pressure and shutdown risks, particularly in high-cost regions like Europe and parts of Asia.
Despite slower year-over-year growth, the IEA sees NGLs playing an increasingly vital role in shaping the future energy mix. This is supported by the 216 percent increase in production the NGL sector has seen over the past decade.
“From 2014 to 2024, global NGLs production grew by 4.3 mb/d to 13.6 mb/d. NGLs will rise by a further 2.0 mb/d to 15.5 mb/d in 2030, with average annual growth slowing to 2.3 percent over the forecast period, from 3.9 percent during the previous decade,” the report read.
Much of the IEA’s outlook falls inline with the short term price projections the US Energy Information Administration released in May, which forecast the average price for Brent crude to be US$66 in 2025 and US$59 in 2026. While natural gas prices will rise from an average US$4.10 in 2025 to US$4.80 in 2026.

Coelacanth Energy presents strong growth potential in the Canadian light oil and natural gas sector with encouraging well test results, a robust infrastructure buildout, and a management team with a track record of repeated success, making it a compelling growth story.
Coelacanth Energy (TSXV:CEI) is a junior oil and natural gas exploration and development company, focusing primarily on the prolific Montney region in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. With a substantial landholding of approximately 150 net sections in the Two Rivers area of Montney, Coelacanth is strategically positioned to harness the potential of one of the most resource-rich natural gas basins in North America.
Coelacanth distinguishes itself with a two-pronged strategy: near-term production growth and long-term resource development. Supported by advanced geological delineation and a robust infrastructure buildout, the company is poised to scale efficiently as it transitions from exploration to production.
Backed by a management team that has built and sold six successful oil and gas companies, Coelacanth is focused on delivering returns through disciplined capital deployment and operational execution.
The Montney Formation spans British Columbia and Alberta and is known for its high levels of recoverable natural gas and liquids. Montney has attracted numerous large oil and gas producers, including companies like Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), Shell, ARC Resources (ARX), Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU), and ConocoPhillips (COP). The presence of such large players highlights the importance of this region in contributing to both the Canadian and global energy markets.
Coelacanth’s landholdings are strategically located in the Two Rivers area of Montney, giving it access to a highly productive portion of the basin. Unlike many junior exploration companies, Coelacanth is drill-ready, positioning it favorably among its peers. By securing significant infrastructure and landholdings, Coelacanth ensures its ability to tap into the natural gas and oil resources that lie beneath its properties, a key advantage in the competitive Montney region.
The Two Rivers Montney development is the cornerstone of Coelacanth’s growth strategy. This multi-zone resource play features Lower, Upper, Basal and Middle Montney formations, offering significant running room for future development. The company has drilled and tested nine wells on the 5-19 pad (seven Lower Montney, one Upper, one Basal), yielding impressive flush production test rates totaling more than 11,000 boe/d, on a combined basis. Some wells tested at over 1,200 boepd with 50 percent light oil, highlighting strong liquids yields.
Two Rivers Asset Advantage
Two Rivers East started first production in June 2025, with production to be systematically ramped up over the summer. This production is supported by a new Phase 1 facility capable of processing 30 mmcf/d of gas and associated oil. Phase 2, planned for late 2025, will double capacity with added compression.
The Two Rivers West project, already in production, complements the East project with upside in the Upper Montney and delineation potential across additional benches. Test wells have demonstrated commercial deliverability and support long-term production sustainability.
Coelacanth has secured long-term gas takeaway for its growing production base. The company holds firm commitments for up to 100 mmcf/d of natural gas takeaway capacity and has secured processing capacity of up to 60 mmcf/d at a third-party facility. Oil and condensate produced from the Montney light oil window can be trucked to regional terminals or connected via infrastructure to major hubs including Fort Saskatchewan, Edmonton and Prince George.
On the gas side, Coelacanth has egress options through pipelines such as NGTL, Westcoast and Alliance, and is strategically positioned to benefit from future access to LNG Canada via the Coastal GasLink system.
Rob Zakresky has a significant background in the oil and gas sector, previously serving as the president and CEO of Leucrotta Exploration as well as five additional predecessor companies. He has been with Coelacanth Energy since its inception and is recognized for his strategic leadership and focus on enhancing shareholder value. His expertise in financial management and operations is reflected in his approach to driving the company's growth.
Bret Kimpton joined Coelacanth Energy in 2022, bringing a wealth of experience from his previous role as vice president of production at Storm Resources, where he contributed to significant production growth. He has a strong background in construction and operations, especially in the Montney region of British Columbia, managing various fields. His role at Coelacanth focuses on overseeing operational efficiency and implementing the company's growth strategies.
Nolan Chicoine has also been with Coelacanth Energy since its inception. His responsibilities encompass financial oversight, including financial planning, reporting, and analysis. He plays a crucial role in aligning the financial strategies with the company's operational goals. His background includes significant experience in financial management as CFO for Leucrotta Exploration, Crocotta Energy, and Chamaelo Energy.
Jody Denis is the former drilling, engineering & operations engineer at Leucrotta Exploration. Prior to that, he was senior operations advisor at Black Swan Energy, drilling manager at ARC Resources, and drilling and completions manager at Birchcliff Energy.
John Fur is the former manager, exploration of Leucrotta Exploration, and former senior geophysicist at Crocotta Energy, Chamaelo Energy, Chamaelo Exploration, Viracocha Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Post Energy, Amber Energy and Husky Oil.
