Mahalo was founded on the industry prediction that the declining availability of conventional natural gas creates a definite need for new and unconventional sources of gas. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Mahalo is already well-positioned as a junior front-runner in the unconventional sector.

A difficult economic environment prompted the company to sell its Canadian assets in 2008, and in 2009 to place its US subsidiary (Mahalo USA) under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
