Corporate Profile

  

Company Description

Baytex Energy Corp. is a Calgary, Alberta based oil and gas corporation engaged in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The company also has an emerging presence in the United States. As a result of changes to trust taxation laws in Canada which came into effect on January 1, 2011, Baytex converted its legal structure from a trust to a corporation and is executing a growth-and-income model. Baytex is committed to maintaining its production and asset base through internal property development and delivering consistent returns to its shareholders. Baytex currently pays a monthly dividend of C$0.20 per share. Baytex's common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BTE.
