Monday, January 14, 6:14 PM Canada’s independent oil producers may face months of depressed earnings and weak share prices as they jockey for space on over-full oil pipelines, analysts say.

Thursday, January 10, 8:24 AM Penn West Petroleum (PWE) announces a base capital budget of C$900M for 2013, with an option to layer in up to another C$300M in H2: 90% is allocated towards light oil projects, as spending on facilities and well equipping will be significantly reduced.
