Paramount Resources boosts 2026 production outlook after $789M capital spend
According to BOE Report, Paramount Resources increased its 2026 production guidance following strong performance at its Willesden Green Duvernay development and announced significant land acquisitions in Alberta. The company spent $789 million in capital expenditures during 2025 while growing production from 30,000 to 47,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The Calgary-based producer brought its new Alhambra Plant online ahead of schedule in July and sanctioned a second phase expected by Q3 2026. Paramount also approved development of the Sinclair Montney natural gas project, designed to add 300 million cubic feet per day of gas production by Q4 2027.
What It Means for Subcontractors
-
More drilling work coming: Expanded land positions at Willesden Green (500 net sections) and Sinclair (220 net sections) indicate sustained drilling programs requiring completion, trucking, and construction services
-
Pipeline and facility opportunities: The second Alhambra Plant phase and Sinclair development will need pipeline construction, facility installation, and ongoing maintenance services
-
Strong financial backing: With $730 million cash and $750 million in available credit, Paramount has the capital to execute projects and pay contractors reliably
