2009 Canadian Energy Survey: Performance under Pressure

The turbulent swing in energy prices from all-time highs in the summer of 2008 to four-year lows in December is a powerful reminder that the booms in commodities can quickly evaporate. While the Canadian energy sector is a powerful engine of economic growth, it has not been immune to the global recession. Plummeting oil and gas prices have resulted in the cancellation or deferral of projects, layoffs and other cost-cutting measures.

"Performance under pressure" is the apt title, therefore, of this year's Canadian Energy Survey. The country's oil and gas companies are dealing with and adapting to a new economic landscape. As such, we felt it was important to provide a forward-looking view of the industry. We conducted a formal online survey this spring to better gauge industry's current sentiment as well as understand the key drivers impacting the sector.

For this year's survey, PricewaterhouseCoopers has partnered with JuneWarren-Nickle's Energy Group, publishers of the Daily Oil Bulletin and Oilweek Magazine. Providing authoritative print and online publications, datasets, maps, charts and directories, JuneWarren-Nickle's is the Canadian leader in oil and gas publishing.
