Alberta Based Exploration and Development

Compton Petroleum Corporation is a Calgary-based public company actively engaged in the exploration, development, and production of natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude oil in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.  Over the past three years, we have concentrated on those areas that provide the highest economic return and areas that will help identify additional future development opportunities for the Corporation. Compton’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CMT.

Mission Statement

Our goal is to be recognized as a strong Canadian exploration and production operator that creates value by providing appropriate investment returns through the effective development and optimization of our assets, improving capital efficiencies.  Through implementation of a focused strategy that emphasizes realizing the underlying value within the existing asset base, a prudent approach to capital investment decisions and the development of committed and innovative people, we are dedicated to maximizing and creating sustainable value for our shareholders.

A Focus on Value

Compton began operations in 1993 with $1 million of share capital, a small dedicated technical team, and a large seismic data base. The objective was to build a company from the grassroots through internal full-cycle exploration, complemented by strategic acquisitions. Our vision was to create a company capable of long-term sustained growth with future development and exploration opportunities. As at December 31, 2010, the Corporation had average production of 17,402 boe/d, proved plus probable reserves of 84 million boe, and 1.3 (1.1 net) million acres of land. Net asset value was $1.62 per share as at December 31, 2010 including the value of proved plus probable reserves and undeveloped land, less outstanding debt.
