Cenovus Energy announces 2019 capital spending plan

Dec 11, 2018 | 7:00 AM

CALGARY- Cenovus Energy is planning total capital spending of between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion for next year.

The plan compares with its guidance for this year of between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion.

Cenovus says the reduction compared with its 2018 forecast is largely due to efficiency improvements and reduced development plans as a result of the current commodity price environment.

The company says the majority of its budget for 2019 will be spent at its Foster Creek and Christina Lake oil sands operations.
