Compton said it "is proceeding with potential sales of certain noncore properties which will result in Compton becoming a highly focused non-conventional natural gas company."
Tristone Capital Inc. and UBS Securities Canada Inc. will continue their role as financial advisers to the Calgary, Alberta-based company, Compton said.
