About

FROG LAKE ENERGY RESOURCES CORP (FLERC)

Frog lake Energy resources Corporation is an oil and gas exploration and production company by is owned by the people of Frog Lake First Nation. The corporation’s vision is to create business opportunities and deliver long term value for the benefit of the Frog Lake First Nation and its partners.

Today, FLERC maintains partnerships with five companies on the reserve and one, Pengrowth, located off the reserve. More than 600 wells have been drilled, and they continue to drill new wells using increasingly advanced technology. “We get more oil out of the ground with every well we drill,” Dion said. Over the years, the corporation’s oil production has peaked at more than 3,500 barrels of oil per day. Though declining oil prices have dropped production down to about 1,000 barrels daily, Dion expects to triple those numbers “in the next year or so”.

FLERC maintains a non-operating role within each project, sharing in profits that benefit the people of Frog Lake First Nation by helping to build houses and improve the standard of living within the community. The corporation also helps to provide jobs to members of the reserve.

“It’s been a real boon for the nation as far as jobs,” Dion said. “We’ve had layoffs like everyone else but the folks are resilient and we haven’t laid off much staff from our company because we’ve been lean; we have a small office, small staff and low overhead.”

Another company owned by Frog Lake First Nation — and providing career opportunities for its community members — is Frog Lake Oilfield Services, which works on behalf of FLERC conducting onsite production management. By allocating jobs to the nation’s youth, the company supports local sustainable development. Their services include new well set-ups, sewer and water line thawing, fencing and oilfield maintenance. In addition, they provide employment to First Nations communities outside of Frog Lake.
