OGFJ Canadian 100: OGFJ partners with Woodside Research to offer data, analysis on Canadian firms
This inaugural installment of the OGFJ Canadian 100 is the first in a series of reports on leading Canadian oil and gas companies and other energy companies doing business in Canada. Oil & Gas Financial Journal has teamed up with Calgary-based Woodside Research to provide our subscribers this unique source of financial and operating information about the Canadian oil and gas industry.
This first report contains information from year-end 2005. Subsequent reports will be updated quarterly.
Woodside Research has created an investor-oriented database focused on oil and gas companies. The CanOils Database, launched in 1986 by Woodside, provides strategic, financial, and operating data on 200-plus public oil and gas companies active in or based in Canada. OGFJ will publish information concerning the top 100 of these firms.
Woodside has conducted research for more than 20 years for a wide range of clients, including the majority industry associations and many of Canada’s largest oil and gas producers. The firm’s focus was and remains on the details of E&P operators.
In 1997, Woodside did the first serious analysis of value creation in the royalty trust sector, which was still in its infancy then. The sector is now a major part of the industry.
The OGFJ Canadian 100 will complement the OGJ200 reports we publish on US public companies and the OGFJ100P reports on private companies we publish via our partnership with the John S. Herold Inc.
