VELVET EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO
Our base business in the Ellerslie has been recognized as the low supply cost play in the Deep Basin by third parties
While we continue to grow the Ellerslie, we are also adding and advancing prospects across the risk/entry cost spectrum:
Strong results from stack drilling in 1H2017 First oil in the Montney at Gold Creek New areas being acquired & evaluated Low cost capture of higher risk prospects
