About Parallax Energy Operating, Inc.
Parallax Energy Operating Inc. is an oil and gas exploration and production company that acquires, develops, and operates oil and natural gas assets in Alberta’s East Shale Duvernay. It owns and operates a 75% working interest in about 300,000 gross acres. Its production is mostly light oil and natural gas liquids, sold into the Western Canadian energy market. It also owns field infrastructure, including oil batteries, gas processing facilities, and water disposal facilities. It drills and completes new horizontal wells, runs its producing wells, and develops new drilling locations, partly under a multi-year joint development agreement with Northern Oil and Gas, which holds the other 25% working interest. Its asset base came mainly from its December 2024 acquisition of Vesta Energy Ltd. Since October 2026, the business has been the operating base for Avenrock Energy Inc., a new Western Canadian light oil company. Founded in 2024, the company is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
