Commodity Market Report
Canada gas markets long-term outlook H1 2015
Report summary
Canadian market fundamentals have reversed direction in the last six months — AECO prices are down 50% and global oil prices have slumped by nearly 40%, resulting in a declining Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) gas production outlook for 2016. The productivity improvements and lower service costs will reduce the price floor for WCSB supplies, but there is more competition than ever from Lower 48 supplies. WCSB production is expected to decline though 2017 before rebounding.
