Mar 11, 2020 | 8:47 AM

CALGARY- A pair of big names in Canada’s oilpatch are cutting their capital spending plans in the wake of the sharp plunge in oil prices.

Seven Generations Energy Ltd. is lowering its 2020 capital investment budget by $200 million or 18% to $900 million.

It states the reduction reflects a temporary deferral of planned activity that will allow it to high-grade drilling locations and improve efficiencies.

Seven Generations’s production for 2020 is expected to average between 185,000 and 190,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, down from earlier guidance for between 200,000 and 205,000.

Meanwhile, MEG Energy Corp. is cutting its 2020 capital spending plan to $200 million from the $250 million in announced in November 2019.
