What Tourmaline Oil does

Canada's largest natural gas producer, operating in the Montney and Deep Basin plays of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

Sells natural gas, plus condensate and other liquids, and has deliberately spread sales across hubs and markets, including supply deals tied to international LNG prices, rather than leaving most gas priced at the low Alberta hub (AECO). It pays a base dividend and special dividends from surplus cash. Michael Rose, a founder, remains chief executive.

In one line: Canada's EQT Corporation (natural gas focus).

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
