Growth trajectory
Bryden Wright , President and Chief Operating Officer , provides an overview of ROK ’ s operations and history . “ In 2018 , myself , Cam Taylor and Jared Lukomski , who have been my business partners since 2006 , founded ROK . Prior to that , we had successfully established and sold four private extraction and production ( E & P ) companies in Southeast Saskatchewan . In 2020 , we made a significant stride by listing ROK on the TSX Venture Exchange . Following this strategic move , we have pursued a series of acquisitions and divestitures , enabling us to grow from zero to 4000 barrels of oil equivalent per day ( Boepd ). Among these barrels , 64 percent consist of light oil and natural gas liquids ( NGLs ), with the remaining 36 percent comprising natural gas .
