Oil majors gain from NEP changes says analysis
Calgary based Bache Halsey Stuart Canada Ltd estimates the federal energy program update boosts cash flow for large oil firms by about 19 percent this year and 18 percent in 1983, with a roughly $400 million lift over two years. The report notes relief is limited and major producers Imperial, Gulf Canada, Texaco Canada Resources and Dome Petroleum may still struggle. It cites one year suspension of the incremental Oil Revenue Tax and broadened eligibility for world level prices as key changes affecting about 10 percent of Western Canada's output.
