Canada eyes partnerships over foreign oil takeovers
Energy Minister Marc Lalonde says major acquisitions by foreign firms are unlikely soon due to high interest rates and tight credit. He notes growing multinational interest in partnerships with Canadian firms to explore the North and offshore areas, reinforced by the Canada Oil and Gas Act’s 50 percent Canadian ownership rule. A $600 million Beaufort Sea exploration venture links Imperial Oil with ten smaller Canadian firms as a prominent partnership.
