I'm talking more about volume in the ground, not volume produced, but you have some points.

I was just pointing out that the Oil and Natural Gas economy of Alberta isn't entirely dependent on oil prices, but that Natural Gas prices should be considered too. And your point was what I was trying to get at, that Natural Gas prices have little to do with gasoline, so a move away from gasoline transportation will not affect natural gas as much.
