Keystone Royalty, Part 3: Keystone spawned over a half dozen companies

REGINA – Regina-based Keystone Royalty may now be reaching its own liquidity event, with an acquisition by publicly-traded Topaz Energy, but along the way, the company has spawned seven, yes, seven, exploration companies, one of which is still active.
It all was built on a relatively simple model. Keystone, the parent, had the royalty land, and they would launch exploration companies to drill on said land. Once enough was developed, it would be sold off, usually to a serial acquiring company, and they would start over.

These stories go beyond the deal, into what has made Keystone tick, the spawning of seven exploration companies, and how current politics are affecting the industry.

PTRC’s new CEO Ranjith (Ran) Narayanasamy says Saskatchewan should be a clean tech exporter to the world

REGINA – On Feb. 14th the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) and its board of directors announced the appointment of Ranjith (“Ran”) Narayanasamy as the company’s new president and chief executive officer.

Narayanasamy comes to the PTRC from SaskPower after over 16 years. He has a somewhat different perspective on carbon capture and storage.
