  • Financial Post GEOFFREY MORGAN September 4, 2020
    Financial Post GEOFFREY MORGAN September 4, 2020 Endangered species: Canadian small oil and gas companies under pressure to merge or die (Financial Post) – Banks and creditors are running out of patience with a now six-year downturn in the Canadian oil industry. Small- and mid-sized oil and gas companies in Canada are going the way of the dodo bird. “The 20,000-barrel-per-day producer in Western Canada is an endangered species. We don’t see that changing for some time,” said Adam Waterous, CEO of the Waterous Energy Fund, which has been deploying private equity capital in recent years to buy up small oil companies, including the $750-million purchase of Pengrowth Energy Corp. in Nov. 2019. If the small oil producer is an endangered species, Waterous is the trophy hunter. In six transactions he has built a company now called Strathcona Resources Ltd. into one of the largest private-equity owned producers in North America with production of more than 60,000 bpd. Now, Strathcona is eyeing more underpriced assets in the Canadian oilpatch. Investors and analysts expect a mergers and acquisition wave as the oil price depression since last March and COVID-19 were just the latest in a series of crises that has squeezed the life out of many companies. It has come to a stage where banks and creditors are, in some cases, running out of patience with a now six-year downturn in the Canadian oil industry. Exasperated by paltry returns, they are cutting off funding in some cases and pushing companies to either restructure or sell out to larger companies.

The attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement describes the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we urge you to submit your vote via the internet, telephone or mail. I encourage you to read our 2020 Annual Report for additional information about Gran Tierra’s operating and financial results in 2020. Our teams in Colombia, Ecuador and Canada rose to meet the many challenges of 2020 through their diligent management of COVID-19 safety protocols and sharp focus on maintaining and increasing the value of our assets. Throughout the course of the first half of 2020, we took quick decisive action to protect our balance sheet by deferring our capital program, reducing our well workover activities, implementing cost saving initiatives, and shutting in higher-cost, lower-production minor fields, all while preserving the long-term value of our asset base. During the second half of 2020, we realized and solidified our many cost saving initiatives, while cautiously planning a restart of our workovers and minor fields, as well as our development drilling program which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2020.
