Surge Energy (ZPTAF) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Surge Energy is a Calgary-based oil and gas exploration and production company focused on the acquisition, development and optimization of conventional light and medium crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids assets in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The company’s strategy revolves around asset consolidation and operational efficiency, with a portfolio of low-decline, long-life properties that generate steady production volumes, strong operating netbacks and robust free-cash-flow potential.

The company’s core asset base is concentrated in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Major operating areas include the Pipestone/Wembley and Pouce Coupe regions of Alberta, along with the Kerrobert, Provost and Spray Lake properties in Saskatchewan. Numerous infrastructure tie-ins—including owned and third-party pipelines, battery facilities and processing plants—allow Surge to capture commodity pricing differentials and market access premiums, ensuring reliable takeaway capacity to both domestic and U.S. refineries.

Since its founding, Surge Energy has grown through a series of value-accretive transactions, including the acquisition of legacy heavy-oil and light-oil properties from larger producers seeking to streamline portfolios. These mergers and acquisitions have enabled Surge to achieve significant scale, optimize well design and leverage advanced drilling and completion techniques. Ongoing capital programs emphasize disciplined spending, production optimization and inventory conversion to drive per-share value.

Surge is governed by a board of directors and managed by an experienced upstream leadership team with deep technical, commercial and financial expertise. The company maintains a strong commitment to health, safety and environmental stewardship, implementing best practices across drilling and completion operations while pursuing progressive emissions reduction and community engagement initiatives. Surge Energy’s conservative capital structure and cash-flow-driven approach are designed to support sustainable growth through commodity cycles.
