Athabasca Oil Corp. is an exploration and production company, which engages in the development of thermal and light oil assets. The company is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta and currently employs 181 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2010-04-08. AOC’s segments include Thermal Oil and Duvernay Energy. The Thermal Oil segment consists of two operating oil sands SAGD projects and a large resource base of exploration areas in the Athabasca region of northeastern Alberta. These projects provide Athabasca with a material low-decline production base that generates significant free cash flow for the business. The thermal assets use steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), which is an enhanced oil recovery technology for producing bitumen. The Duvernay Energy operating segment includes the Company's assets, liabilities, and operations located primarily in the Greater Kaybob area near the town of Fox Creek, Alberta. Its light oil assets are held in a private subsidiary (Duvernay Energy Corporation) in which it owns a 70% equity interest.
