- Founded
- unknown (active by 1980; Alberta Energy Regulator files use Camel Oil and Gas Ltd.)
- Head office then
- unknown (Alberta operator; wells also licensed in Ontario)
Camel Oil and Gas Ltd. was a junior oil and gas producer. In 1982 it applied in Alberta to modify a gas plant at Abee, and in 1984 it applied to commingle production there. Ontario records also list Camel wells drilled in Lambton County in 1980-81, later marked abandoned.
It was one of many small western producers of the early 1980s, with a documented Alberta gas plant and a short Ontario drilling program.
Why it mattered
It was one of many junior western producers of the National Energy Program years, with a documented Alberta gas plant at Abee and a short Ontario well program.
Now
Regulator files still use the Camel Oil and Gas Ltd. name in 1984. A later buyer or merger after that year was not confirmed from two independent public sources. A 2012-16 federal Camel Oil & Gas Inc. in Whitby is a different company.
Still open
- Buyer, merger, or strike-off after 1984 was not verified in two independent public sources. A web-search summary alleged a 28 October 1985 merger into Trans-Canada Resources Ltd.; that claim was not found on the Petroleum History Society old-companies pages consulted, so it is not used as fate.
- Head office city and founding year are not pinned.
- Relationship between Camel Resources Ltd. (1978 Bruce field) and Camel Oil and Gas Ltd. (1982-84 Abee) is not fully documented here.
- Page-level facts from the 1982 annual report were not in _existing.json.
