Michael Binnion , President and Chief Executive Officer , commented , " We started to add zero emissions hydrogen and carbon capture and storage to our Clean Tech Energy project in the quarter . We are also evaluating other carbon recycling technologies that use carbon dioxide as a feedstock to make valuable products . These are essential to the new circular economy where virtually all the emissions from production and consumption are eliminated . Recent commitments by the US and Canada to cut emissions by half in the next decade need new technologies to achieve them . The success of our net zero project could be the quickest path to contributing to these climate goals and more importantly to acceptability in Quebec . " He added , " We also saw an increase in M & A activity at Kakwa early this year . In March , the largest operator merged with another Montney producer in a $ 8.1 billion transaction , including net debt . In April , the operator of our Kakwa North acreage was acquired by a mid - sized company for $ 300 million . We are looking forward to their development plans for this acreage .
