Leduc oil find expands Canadian production hope
Canada’s rich new oil field near Edmonton boosts Imperial Oil output with five producing wells and a shallow gas well. Three more wells are planned, totaling up to 12, as drilling expands to confirm a new oil region. The discovery comes as demand rises and domestic crude supply falls, potentially lowering future consumer petroleum costs. Imperial Oil has invested since 1919, with a program totaling about $16.5 million.
