Correct. Not to sustain existing production, that's in the $30-$40 range. But including return on capital we need at least $70 for new growth.
I am admittedly out of my element here, but if that is the case, isn't it looking like it will be awhile before oil hits that level again?

Is new growth in Alberta's energy sector something that is desperately needed, or is it desperately needed to continue as a boom period?
