Western Canada lease sales fail to impress in 2013
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
Western Canada attracted Cdn$1.0 billion (US$1.0 billion) in lease bonuses in 2013, a decade low. While a decrease from the Cdn$1.4 (US$1.4 billion) collected last year, the amount spent per acre increased marginally from 2012. A total of 25,216 square kilometres (6.2 million acres) were acquired in 2013, a 28% drop from 2012. Many factors are at play in the leasing downturn, most importantly the depletion of available acreage within the region’s hottest unconventional plays.
