Storm Ventures recognize these commitments as core to its business and in the best interests of their shareholders. The Company began in June 2003 with a mandate to identify and secure a balanced portfolio of exploration and exploitation opportunities in proven hydrocarbon provinces that are characterized by competitive fiscal terms, low political risk and an abundance of opportunities. Technology applications developed in the relatively mature basins in North America, a lower cost structure with greater focus, and historically high commodity prices supporting a lower economic limit, all contribute to framing the opportunity they are trying to exploit.
