Alberta has relaxed the production limits it imposed on oil producers as it exports more barrels via rail and pipeline.
Easing the production limit by 25,000 barrels a day means that operators can now produce about 175,000 barrels a day below what they were producing late last year, just before the province imposed the cut to alleviate a glut caused by too much oil and too few pipelines. The bottlenecks caused local heavy oil prices to collapse to as much as $50 a barrel below the price of West Texas Intermediate futures in October.
