Insights 7
7 road closure(s) active: Shaftesbury Fry, HWY-532, HWY-40. Logistics routes through these segments are unavailable for the duration.
Why this matters Worth checking whether scheduled hauls cross the closed segments and lining up contingency routing if so.
Active rigs dropped by -30 week-over-week. Drilling-services capacity is freeing up, which historically softens day rates and gives both sides more room in upcoming engagements.
Why this matters Could be a useful moment for a market-context conversation with drilling service partners about the broader environment heading into upcoming engagements.
Gasoline CPI (Canada) rose 21.2% month-over-month. Logistics contracts with fuel surcharge mechanisms will pass this through; uncapped surcharges expose more of the increase.
Why this matters A useful prompt for conversations with logistics partners about fuel surcharge mechanisms, and whether long-term lanes might benefit from a more predictable structure for both sides.
Ivey PMI at 49.7, below the 50 expansion threshold. Aggregate purchasing activity is contracting and the broader pricing environment is softer for both buyers and suppliers.
Why this matters Useful context for any upcoming renewal conversations or supplier dialogues, where the broader purchasing environment may shape what feels reasonable on both sides.
NGTL system utilization at 91.8%, approaching capacity. AECO basis often widens at this utilization level as egress tightens, and gas-directed Montney projects face additional takeaway risk on uncontracted volumes.
Why this matters A useful prompt for conversations with marketing and midstream partners about AECO basis exposure on uncontracted volumes and firm-transport positioning.
Spring breakup / weight restrictions active on 4 roads in Grande Prairie / Wapiti Corridor. Heavy haul operations may be impacted on the affected segments.
Why this matters Worth verifying haul route weight limits before dispatching, and considering alternate routes if affected.
Alberta well licence issuance jumped by +148 month-over-month. Licences typically lead actual spuds by 4-8 weeks, so this usually signals an upcoming ramp in drilling services and material demand.
Why this matters A useful prompt for inventory check-ins on casing, pipe, and consumables, and for early conversations with rig and frac service partners about availability for the upcoming activity window.
