Deregulation in the gas industry has forced Alberta producers to meet increased competition with an aggressive new marketing philosophy. This new philosophy has caused disharmony in a supply market which has traditionally included co-operative joint ventures. Difficulties arise when one joint-operator takes on the full burden of marketing. The author examines the agreements and procedures which have regulated joint operators, and suggests changes to accommodate these new pressures.
