Dollar value of oil and gas drilling rights sold in 2007
British Columbia $1.05B
Alberta $673M

Alberta's numbers, by contrast, have collapsed. The province, which is at war with its oil industry over a 20% average increase in royalties effective in 2009, collected $673-million this year from the sale of conventional oil and gas rights, down from $1.47-billion last year, and$650-million from the sale of oilsands rights, down from$1.96-billion last year.


Thanks Ed!
