“On the budgeting side, on the capital program, we have less than 3% of our $1.45 billion in Alberta and we have the flexibility, obviously, with that small of dollars, to shift that money into Saskatchewan and we are reviewing that dependent on Alberta announcements of a royalty review.”

About two-thirds of its budget will be spent in southeast Saskatchewan. It also has operations in Manitoba, Alberta, Utah and North Dakota.
