Alberta oil cuts forecast spark cautious outlook in Ottawa
Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board chair Vern Millard told the Commons energy committee that crude output could fall as much as 10 percent by 1990 if prices do not recover, with losses up to 140 000 barrels per day from a 1.4 million bpd base. By 1995 declines could reach 130 000 to 160 000 bpd. Millard cited prices near 20 dollars US for 1990 and 28.50 for 1995, and described supplementary sales to market unused pipeline space to prevent shut-ins.
