OIL

Canadian gas production has dropped to an average 16.6Bcf/d, down from about 18.4Bcf/d in April as at least seven Canadian producers shut-in output in response to wildfires according to S&P Global.

  • More dry weather in the forecast could extend the wildfires well into June, keeping downward pressure on Canadian oil and gas output.
  • Tighter supply is putting downward pressure on gas pipeline exports to the US with supplies down from 4.81 Bcf/d in April to an average 4.69 Bcf/d.
  • Wildfire have been disrupting output for about two weeks with an estimated 240k to 280k of crude oil production in Alberta halted due to the fires according to ESAI.
