In 2006, Kim founded Martin Head Oil & Gas, a private company that established from grassroots an extensive drill inventory in various oil resource plays in Saskatchewan. In 2010, Kim founded Terrex Energy, a public company that acquired mature oil pools with significant under-recognized reserves and developed enhanced oil recovery (EOR) plans, whose developments are ongoing.
