About company
Ovintiv Inc. is a longstanding player in the North American oil and natural gas industry, tracing its origins back to the late 19th century when natural gas was first discovered by workers drilling for water in Alberta, Canada. Over the years, the company has been at the forefront of technological innovation in the sector, pioneering the use of slant drilling techniques in the late 20th century and later embracing horizontal drilling to unlock unconventional resources deep within tight sands and shales. Ovintiv has been instrumental in the development and refinement of these techniques, notably transferring horizontal drilling methods from Texas to Canada and back, significantly enhancing resource extraction efficiency. The company's approach to drilling, particularly its "cube" development strategy, involves drilling multiple layers of resources simultaneously from a single large pad, setting a new standard for the industry. With a focus on operational excellence, a multi-basin portfolio, and disciplined capital allocation, Ovintiv aims to maintain its leadership position and drive growth in the oil and natural gas markets.
