Strathcona Resources selling Montney assets for $2.84 billion
- Strathcona Resources sold its Montney assets in Western Canada for approximately $2.84 billion in several agreements signed in 2025.
- The asset sale followed the company’s strategy to consolidate its core areas and shift toward becoming a pure-play heavy oil producer.
- The transactions involve Strathcona Resources selling its Kakwa property to ARC Resources for approximately $1.7 billion, divesting the Grande Prairie asset for $850 million, and transferring the Groundbirch asset to Tourmaline Oil in exchange for shares valued at $291.5 million.
- Strathcona’s Montney production averaged about 72,000 barrels of oil equivalent daily, generating $149 million in operating profit, or 12% of total profits last year.
- After closing these sales, expected in mid-2025, Strathcona will focus on heavy oil and expand rail terminal operations, including its recent $45 million acquisition of the largest Western Canada crude-by-rail terminal.
