Alberta eases oil output limit amid export surge

Bloomberg

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.
