Mr. Campbell joined the Company a year ago as General Manager of Production Operations. Mr. Campbell has had an extensive career in the oil and gas industry with over 30 years of engineering, predominantly in the areas of oil and liquids drilling and completions, and business development.

In his professional career of over 30 years in the oil and gas industry Mr. Wendland has enjoyed success both geotechnically, where he has successfully generated many hydrocarbon prospects across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, and from a strategic business perspective, where he has founded, directed and grown both public and private oil and gas companies based in Calgary. Gerald will oversee the Company’s geotechnical objectives of pursuing, identifying and developing oil and gas liquids opportunities.
The Company also wishes to announce the departure of John Behr. Mr. Behr has made significant contributions to the growth of the organization during his tenure, and played a key role in both advancing the Company’s Montney play and the recent sale process involving the Montney assets. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management of the Company, we wish him the very best in his future endeavours.
