Document Highlights:
- Trade—The expected turnaround in the U.S. economy over the next five
years will result in greater demand for Canadian oil, allowing exports to
expand over the forecast.
- Price—Although still down from the record highs of 2008, oil prices
have risen significantly from their low point in 2009. Higher prices over
the forecast will have a direct impact on revenues.
- Costs—The recession only alleviated—it did not eliminate—labour and
material shortages. As activity picks up this year, costs will begin to rise
rapidly once again, squeezing producers’ profits.
