Welcome to Laricina Energy
Laricina is a private company created in November 2005 concentrating on capturing opportunities in the oil sands areas of Western Canada.
Our Company is focused on creating value through developing a diverse portfolio of oil sands assets that leverage technology and market developments.
Our experienced people will innovate the next steps of in situ development and provide a technical expertise not readily available in the industry.
Laricina, the latin name for Larch, is a species of tree known as the Tamarack, which is common to Western Canada and tough adverse climates. The Tamarack is a pioneer tree that becomes dominant in its surroundings.
Laricina will emulate the Tamarack in the specific areas where it expects to grow and identify opportunities in the oil sands where others have been unable to progress.
