Company Overview

Paramount Resources Ltd. is a Calgary, Alberta–based energy company engaged in the exploration, development and production of conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas resources. The company’s operations span acquisition of acreage, drilling and completion activities, reservoir optimization and production marketing, with a focus on upstream activities. Paramount also holds a portfolio of royalty interests that generate recurring cash flows from production by third parties.

Paramount’s core operating regions are located within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, primarily in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia. Key resource plays include Montney and Duvernay shale formations, as well as the Cardium and Deep Basin areas. The company has developed long-term joint ventures and infrastructure partnerships to support gathering, processing and transportation, helping to mitigate market access constraints and optimize netbacks on produced volumes.

Founded in the late 1970s, Paramount Resources built its reputation through disciplined capital allocation and strategic acquisitions of both conventional and emerging resource properties. Over its history, the company has evolved its asset mix to capture value from growing liquids yields and expanded gas processing capabilities. Paramount’s equity shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the OTC Markets under the symbol PRMRF.

The company is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Trevor Birker, under whose stewardship Paramount has refined its operational focus on high-return drilling opportunities and royalty monetization. A professional engineer by training, Birker has guided the organization’s efforts to balance production growth, sustainability practices and shareholder returns.
