Canada oil, gas producers to drill 8% more wells in 2024: Industry group - Times of India

[ad_1]
WINNIPEG: Canadian oil and gas producers will drill 8% more wells in 2024 to take advantage of greater access to pipelines, with the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion due to open, an industry group said in an annual forecast on Friday.
Conventional oil production accounts for a small portion - 14% on average this year - of Canada's overall crude output, which comes mainly from oil sands.
Canada is the world's fourth-largest oil producer.
Producers will drill 6,229 wells next year, up 481 from 2023, the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors predicted.
Most of the increased drilling will likely happen in the second half of 2024, as the industry rebounds from a softer market in the recent third quarter, the association said. The Trans Mountain expansion is scheduled to start shipping crude late in the first quarter of 2024, while the Coastal GasLink is approaching mechanical completion.
Capital discipline by producers is likely to cap growth in drilling, the association said.
A tight labor market remains a major challenge, the association's CEO, Mark Scholz, said.

The FDA staff made the conclusion in briefing documents ahead of a meeting on Thursday when a panel of external advisors to the agency will discuss whether to recommend full approval of the RSV shot . The advisors will vote on whether Pfizer's late-stage clinical trial data on the vaccine supports its safety and efficacy. The FDA typically follows the advice of its advisory committees, but is not required to do so. The agency is slated to make a decision on whether to clear the shot in August before RSV season in the fall. If approved, Pfizer's jab would become the world's first vaccine that protects infants against RSV.  RSV usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. But infants and older ad

Four minutes later United were two up, when Casemiro let fly with a stunning strike from outside the box to find the bottom corner.
