Description

In response to changes in the marketplace, Alberta Energy led a project team that studied Alberta's investment competitiveness with a focus on upstream natural gas and conventional oil development. The study assessed the ways in which Alberta's competitive share of energy investment has shifted, and the factors contributing to such shifts. It also considered ways in which Alberta can improve its ability to attract natural gas and conventional oil investment. The Government of Alberta reviewed the project committee's resulting Technical Report and has accepted its recommendations on the most effective ways to improve Alberta's competitiveness in conventional upstream oil and gas. This framework outlines the actions that the government will take to improve the province's competitiveness in these areas.

Description

Albertans do not receive their fair share from energy development. The royalty rates and formulas have not kept pace with changes in the resource base and world energy markets. Albertans own the resource. The onus is on their government to re-balance the royalty and tax system so that a fair share is collected. This must be done within an equitable and flexible administrative framework that maintains Alberta's competitive edge for energy investment.
