Canada upstream: 5 things to look for in 2020
Report summary
Canada produces 6% of the world's oil and 5% of its gas, while accounting for an even higher percentage of global reserves. The country's inability to achieve parity with global prices for those products remains its dominant issue. Many of the topics facing the global upstream sector are especially heightened in Canada given the intense scrutiny on capital discipline and environmental performance. The key themes of 2020 will be rail, capital efficiency, ESG and differentials. Rail will rise to new highs; spending will flatten but production will rise; offshore Newfoundland & Labrador exploration will jump; methane emission reduction will be front and centre; and AECO will see the smallest differential in years.
