About the role
Overview of Athabasca Oil Corporation
Athabasca Oil Corporation (“AOC”) is a unique liquids-weighted intermediate energy producer. At AOC, we
proudly and responsibly produce Canadian energy to improve people’s lives. We are passionate, take ownership
of our work, get things done and are great at what we do.
Athabasca currently produces ~39,500 boe/d with a significant growth program underway. Athabasca has
exposure to Canada’s premier resource plays. Thermal Oil boasts >1 billion barrels of top quartile reserves and a
deep inventory of future projects. In addition, in December 2023 Athabasca announced the creation of Duvernay
Energy Corporation, a private subsidiary company. Duvernay Energy is a unique standalone self-funded entity
that offers investors pure-play exposure to the Kaybob Duvernay play and is expected to grow to over 15,000
bbl/d by 2030. Strategically Athabasca has two companies with independent strategies and capital allocation
frameworks.
AOC has positioned itself with strong financial liquidity of ~$466 million (including $335 million in cash), putting it
in an enviable position relative to its peers. The company is resilient to commodity price volatility and is expecting
to generate ~$1.1 Billion of free cash flow over the next five years, while funding its growth initiatives. All free
cash flow is currently returned to shareholders in the form of share buybacks. The combination of production
growth and reduced share count is resulting in cash flow per share growth. The corporate strategy is to continue
to grow our assets, generate significant free cash and provide superior returns to shareholders over the long term.
Sustainability is core to the business with strong governance and a commitment to reducing emissions through its
technology roadmap.
Athabasca has a track record of transformative projects including JV’s, M&A, royalties, and unique marketing
arrangements. AOC offers a dynamic and exciting work environment for the right candidate. AOC is publicly
traded on the TSX under the symbol “ATH” with a market capitalization of $3.7 Billion.
