Crescent Point Energy Corp. is an oil and gas company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.[1] The company focuses primarily on light oil production in southern Saskatchewan.

Since inception in 2001,[2] Crescent Point has significantly increased its production. It has been ranked as Canada's 12th largest oil and gas producer.[3]

History[]

In 2001 Crescent Point Energy began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as a junior exploration and production company.[2] It joined the Toronto Stock Exchange the following year. In 2003, it merged with Tappit Resources.[4] As part of the merger, Crescent Point converted to an income trust. In February 2007, it acquired Mission Oil and Gas for $628 million.[5] From Mission, Crescent Point acquired a large position in the Viewfield Bakken oil field in the Williston Basin. Since 2007, Crescent Point has since expanded its Three Forks play both north and south of the border. In 2009, Crescent converted back to a normal corporation (from an income trust).[citation needed]

In 2010, Crescent Point acquired properties in the Lower Shaunavon resource play in southwest Saskatchewan from Penn West Energy Trust.[6] In return, it provided a number of properties in Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as $434 million in cash. Crescent Point began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014 under the same CPG symbol.[2]

In May 2015, Crescent Point acquired Legacy Oil and Gas for $1.5 billion.[7]

On 29 May 2018, Crescent Point announced that Scott Saxberg would be leaving the company after 17 years, with Craig Bryksa taking over duties as president and CEO on an interim basis.[8]

On 5 September 2018, Crescent Point confirmed Craig Bryksa as its new president and CEO. Robert (Bob) Heinemann also replaced Peter Bannister as chairman on Crescent Point's board of directors.[9]

Assets and holdings[]

As of 2019, production was 162,000 boe/day.[10] Crescent Point mainly produces light and medium oil, as opposed to heavy oil or natural gas. Most of the company's oil production is from the Williston Basin in southeastern Saskatchewan and northern North Dakota; notable fields in this area include the Viewfield Bakken, Flat Lake, and Three Forks areas.[11] The second major area for the company is southwest Saskatchewan, where it has significant property in the Shaunavon and Viking resource plays. The company also has other properties, in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and North Dakota, accounting for its remaining production.
