Royalty Assets
The Montney, known for its vast geographic coverage and significant reserve potential, has become the most prolific natural gas resource in Western Canada and gas well performance continues to increase at a faster rate than other Canadian natural gas production. In the Montney, horizontal multi-stage fracture stimulation wells have allowed access to the thickest, highest pressured and highest deliverability fine grained sandstone reservoirs.
Topaz's infrastructure assets are situated in the best parts of the WCSB. They were built strategically by producers within their development areas. Topaz is not exposed to long lead times or construction risk, and doesn’t carry the administrative burden associated with operatorship.
