Providing Canadian
natural gas to the world

Pacific Canbriam Energy began as a proudly Canadian company operating in Northeastern British Columbia, focused on natural gas production. Today, we are positioned to meet the growing global demand for reliable and responsibly produced energy.

Canbriam Energy is founded by a group of Canadian, British and American colleagues (who inspired the name Can-Bri-Am).
