*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
H1 2026 saw weaker gas prices which prompted operators to curtail near-term production and defer capital. At the same time, Shell's acquisition of ARC Resources reshapes the Montney landscape but long-term growth drivers remain intact: LNG Canada's ramp-up and growing data-centre demand. This report covers peer group performance on realisations, netbacks and production, alongside analysis of how liquids weighting and corporate distribution strategies are evolving across the basin.
