Job Description
Steel Reef is a Canadian company that gathers and redistributes potentially wasted gas to deliver the energy that powers our lives.
From our Saskatchewan roots, we have grown into a dominant player in flare gas capture, contributing to the energy transition through coal-to-gas switching to power homes, communities and industries dedicated to reducing emissions and powering potential.
Since our inception in 2012, Steel Reef has supported the energy community in capturing wasted energy, processing and distributing associated natural gas and other products, and bringing in net new energy production and distribution for homes, communities and businesses.
Focusing our efforts within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and Bakken Resource Play, Steel Reef has become a market leader in developing the emissions-to-energy practice to supply net new energy from flare gas, a previously unavailable source.
In 2024, Steel Reef entered into multiple long-term Power Purchase Agreements with SaskPower. Following construction of additional utility-grade electricity substations and generation turbines powered by recovered flare gas, Steel Reef will provide more than 100 megawatts (MW) of electricity within Saskatchewan and North Dakota, which could power more than 100,000 homes annually.
