Logan Energy announced on Monday, October 26, 2026 that it has agreed to be acquired by a subsidiary of Ovintiv (NYSE: OVV) for C$1.40 per share in cash.
Deal terms
According to Logan's announcement:
- Logan shareholders will receive C$1.40 in cash per share
- they will also receive shares and warrants in Logan Oil, a newly formed company, valued at about C$0.08 per Logan share, for total consideration of about C$1.48 per share
- the transaction values Logan at about C$1.26 billion, including assumed net debt
- the total consideration represents a premium of about 17% to Logan's 20-day volume-weighted average price up to October 23
- closing is expected in early 2027
The deal requires approval from at least two-thirds of the votes cast by Logan securityholders, approval from the Court of King's Bench of Alberta and clearance under Canada's Competition Act.

About Logan Energy
Logan Energy was formed in 2023 as a spin-out of early-stage Montney assets from Spartan Delta. It produces natural gas and liquids in north-west Alberta and north-east British Columbia. According to the company, it produced a record 18,775 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the third quarter of 2026, based on field estimates, and expects more than 22,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the fourth quarter. It holds 415 net sections of Montney land.
The Logan Oil spin-out
Before the deal closes, Logan will spin out Logan Oil, a new company that will hold oil assets that are not part of the acquisition. These include the Sawn Lake heavy oil project and assets in the Clearwater and Charlie Lake areas in Alberta. Logan Oil plans to raise about C$120 million in new financing and has applied to list on the TSX Venture Exchange.
About Ovintiv
Ovintiv is a North American oil and natural gas producer with operations in the United States and Canada, including in the Montney formation. The acquisition adds Logan's Montney acreage to Ovintiv's existing Canadian business.
What the Montney is
The Montney is a large geological formation that stretches across parts of Alberta and British Columbia. It contains natural gas and natural gas liquids, such as condensate, and is one of the most active areas for drilling in Canada. Natural gas from the region can be supplied to North American markets and, increasingly, to liquefied natural gas export projects on Canada's west coast.
How the process started
According to Logan, it received an unsolicited expression of interest in July 2026 and began a confidential review of strategic options in August. National Bank Financial gave an opinion that the consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to Logan shareholders other than its directors and officers.
Consolidation in energy
Oil and gas producers often buy smaller companies to add land, production and drilling locations close to their existing operations. Larger producers can sometimes develop these assets at lower cost because they share infrastructure and services.
What to watch
Key items include the Logan shareholder meeting, expected around January 4, 2027, regulatory approvals, the listing of Logan Oil and the completion of the deal.
Risks and uncertainties
Acquisitions may not be completed on the expected timetable or at all. Production and drilling plans can change, and natural gas prices can be volatile. Energy shares can be volatile.
