In November 2017, the unemployment rate in BC is 4.7% and 6.8% in Alberta. *— : suppressed to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act

BC Highlights The unemployment rate in British Columbia was 4.8% in November, down 0.1 percentage points from

October and below the 6.1% it was 12 months ago. Compared to the previous month, the labour force grew (+16,500), there was an increase in employment (+18,200) and a small drop in the number of unemployed (-1,700). In the twelve months to November, job growth (+92,000) outpaced the growth in the labour force (+61,500).

There were 4,100 more full-time and 14,200 additional part-time jobs in November when compared to October. After part-time employment fell for workers in all age groups in October, increases recovering some or all of the losses were posted in November: 15 to 24 (+4,600 or +2.8%), 25 to 54 (+3,800 or +1.8%), and 55 and over (+5,800 or +4.1%).

In November, employment in the public sector (+9,600) was up, as were the number of self-employed individuals (+6,900), while the private sector (-4,200) saw a decline in the number of jobs. Provincial Comparisons

At 4.8%, British Columbia’s unemployment rate was the lowest in Canada during the month of November. Manitoba and Quebec were tied for second lowest at 5.4%, followed by Ontario (5.5%) and Saskatchewan (6.0%), while Alberta’s unemployment rate (7.3%) was fifth highest among the provinces. Gender

In November, employment in British Columbia for men (aged 25 years and over) grew by 8,500 jobs, while the labour force increased by 8,800. As a result, the unemployment rate was 4.4%, unchanged from the previous month.

Introduction

EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

October 2017 In October, 510,000 people received regular Employment Insurance (EI) benefits, virtually unchanged from

September. While there was little change for the month, the number of EI recipients has been on a downward trend since October 2016.

Provincially, there were fewer beneficiaries in Alberta (-2.3%), Quebec (-1.6%) and British Columbia (-1.2%). On the other hand, the number of people receiving benefits increased in Prince Edward Island (+3.2%) and Ontario (+2.7%), while there was little change in the remaining provinces.

In general, variations in the number of beneficiaries can reflect changes in the circumstances in a number of different groups, including those becoming beneficiaries, those going back to work, those exhausting their regular benefits, and those no longer receiving benefits for other reasons.

Compared with October 2016, the number of EI recipients in Canada declined by 12.3%, the largest year-over-year decrease since April 2012. Following the EI policy changes that came into effect in July 2016, the number of beneficiaries was unusually high in the latter half of 2016. Provincial and sub-provincial overview

The number of beneficiaries in Alberta fell by 2.3% to 61,500 in October, continuing a downward trend that began in the latter half of 2016. Declines were spread across the province, with the census metropolitan areas (CMAs) of Calgary and Edmonton each decreasing by 2.7%. On a year-over-year basis, beneficiaries in Alberta decreased 38.1%, driven by declines among those aged 25 to 54. Over the same 12-month period, data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) show that the unemployment rate for people aged 25 to 54 in the province also declined.

In Quebec, 125,600 people received benefits in October, down 1.6% from September. Most of the decline came from the CMAs, particularly Ottawa–Gatineau (Quebec part) (-4.2%), Québec (-2.9%), Trois-Rivières (-2.9%), Sherbrooke (-2.8%) and Montréal (-2.4%). Compared with 12 months earlier, the number of beneficiaries in the province declined 9.0%. The number of people in Quebec receiving benefits has been on a downward trend since the summer of 2016.

The number of EI recipients in British Columbia decreased 1.2% to 46,300 in October. There were declines in the CMA of Vancouver (-3.6%), the census agglomerations (CAs) (-1.4%) and areas outside the CMAs and CAs (-2.2%). On the other hand, the CMA of Abbotsford–Mission recorded an increase of 22.1%, partially offsetting a decline in the previous month. On a year-over-year basis, the number of beneficiaries in British Columbia declined 18.3%, the second fastest decrease among the provinces. The number of beneficiaries in the CMAs has been on a downward trend since the summer of 2015. Outside of the province's CMAs, the number of people receiving benefits rose throughout 2015, before trending downward beginning in autumn 2016.

In Prince Edward Island, 8,600 people received benefits, up 3.2% from September. There were increases in the CAs (+2.6%) and areas outside of the CAs (+3.6%). In the 12 months to October, the number of beneficiaries rose 9.8% in Prince Edward Island, the only province with an increase over that period. Part of the year-over-year increase may be the result of the introduction of the Training Prince Edward Island - Career Connect program. This program, which began in April 2017, allows the province's residents with an active EI claim to continue collecting benefits while enrolled in full-time postsecondary education.


December 2017

Despite a decline in 11 out of 15 CMAs in Ontario, including Toronto (-4.8%), the province recorded an increase of 2.7% in the number of beneficiaries, totalling 134,500 in October. This increase was driven by the CMAs of Windsor (+177.0%) and, to a far lesser extent, London (+20.6%). These increases coincided with work stoppages and planned shutdowns in the automotive industry. Compared with October 2016, the number of beneficiaries in the province declined 4.2%. Employment Insurance beneficiaries by occupation

In the 12 months to October, the number of beneficiaries fell in 9 of the 10 broad occupational groups. The declines were led by natural and applied sciences (-24.3%), business, finance and administration (-19.4%), trades, transport and equipment operators (-15.0%) and natural resources and agriculture (-13.4%).

The sole year-over-year increase was for beneficiaries whose last job was in education, law and social, community and government services occupations (+5.0%). Employment Insurance beneficiaries in major demographic groups

In October, the number of women receiving benefits declined, while the number of men receiving benefits was little changed. The decrease in beneficiaries was driven by women in the core working ages of 25 to 54 (-1.5%), while the number increased 1.4% for young women aged 15 to 24.

On a year-over-year basis, beneficiaries declined in all major demographic groups, led by core-aged men (-15.6%), who made up slightly more than half the overall decline during the period. Employment Insurance claims

The number of EI claims totalled 232,400 in October, up 3.2% from September. The number of claims provides an indication of the number of people who could become beneficiaries.

Claims increased in six provinces, led by Ontario (+5.8%) and Alberta (+5.4%). There were smaller increases in British Columbia (+2.7%), Manitoba (+2.5%), Quebec (+2.4%) and Nova Scotia (+2.2%). In turn, there were decreases in claims in Prince Edward Island (-3.2%), Newfoundland and Labrador (-3.0%), Saskatchewan (-2.4%) and New Brunswick (-2.3%).

Introduction

LABOUR FORCE SURVEY

November 2017 Employment increased for the second consecutive month, up 80,000 in November. The unemployment rate

fell by 0.4 percentage points to 5.9%, the lowest rate since February 2008. In the 12 months to November, employment was up by 390,000 (+2.1%), with all the gains attributable to full

-time work (+441,000 or +3.0%) as part-time employment was down slightly. Over the same period, total hours worked grew by 1.0%.

The unemployment rate trended downwards in the 12 months to November, falling 0.9 percentage points over this period. Highlights

In November, employment increased for women 55 and older, for youth aged 15 to 24, and for core-aged men (25 to 54). There was little change for the other demographic groups.

Employment rose in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Prince Edward Island. At the same time, fewer people were employed in New Brunswick, while there was little change in the other provinces.

A number of goods- and services-producing industries recorded employment gains: wholesale and retail trade, manufacturing, educational services, and construction. On the other hand, a decrease was observed in agriculture.

The employment increase in November was largely among private sector employees, as both public sector employment and the number of self-employed were little changed. Employment gains for older women, youth and core-aged men

In November, employment for women aged 55 and older rose by 32,000, and their unemployment rate fell by 0.5 percentage points to 4.6%. On a year-over-year basis, employment for older women was up 94,000 (+5.4%). For men aged 55 and older, employment held steady and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.2%. In the 12 months to November, employment for older men was up 81,000 (+3.9%).

Among workers aged 55 and older, 8 out of 10 were between the ages of 55 and 64. Their estimated year-over-year rate of employment growth (unadjusted for seasonality) was 4.1%, twice the rate of their population growth (+2.0%). In comparison, people aged 65 and older comprised a smaller share of older workers, but their proportion has been increasing over the past decade. This group had the fastest year-over-year rate of employment growth among the major demographic groups in November, rising 8.1% and outpacing their rate of population growth (+3.7%).

Employment for youth aged 15 to 24 increased for the second consecutive month, up 30,000 in November, bringing year-over-year gains up to 50,000 (+2.0%). In November, the youth employment rate (share of the 15- to 24-year-old population that was working) rose by 0.7 percentage points to 57.3%—continuing an upward trend that began in mid-2016. The youth unemployment rate was little changed in November at 10.8%, well below the rate of 12.9% recorded 12 months earlier.

Employment also increased for core-aged men, up 27,000 in November. With more of them working and fewer searching for work, their unemployment rate fell by 0.6 percentage points to 5.0%—the lowest rate since May 2008. In the 12 months to November, employment for men aged 25 to 54 was up 81,000 (+1.3%).


December 2017

Ontario leading employment growth The lion's share of national employment growth in November was recorded in Ontario, with 44,000 more

people employed, mostly in wholesale and retail trade as well as in manufacturing. The unemployment rate fell by 0.4 percentage points to 5.5%, the lowest rate since July 2000.

Year-over-year employment growth in the province totalled 34,000 (+1.5%), all in full-time work. Employment gains in both goods- and service-producing sectors

In November, 39,000 more people were employed in wholesale and retail trade, offsetting the decrease in October. In the 12 months to November, employment in this industry was up by 82,000 (+3.0%).

Employment in manufacturing increased by 30,000, bringing year-over-year gains to 91,000 (+5.4%). Employment in this industry has been trending up since the start of 2017.

In educational services, employment rose by 21,000 in November but was little changed from 12 months earlier.

Employment in construction increased for the second consecutive month, up 16,000 in November. This brings year-over-year gains to 50,000 (+3.6%). Employment in this industry has been trending up since the summer of 2017.

PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT, EARNINGS & HOURS


December 2017

Introduction

Average weekly earnings by sector In the 12 months to October, average weekly earnings increased in 8 of the 10 largest industrial sectors, led

by wholesale trade. At the same time, earnings were little changed in retail trade and manufacturing. In wholesale trade, average earnings grew 6.2% to $1,233 per week, boosted by gains among wholesalers of

machinery, equipment and supplies. Earnings also increased notably for wholesalers of food, beverage and tobacco. Ontario contributed the most to the earnings growth in this sector.

For accommodation and food services employees, average weekly earnings increased 5.5% to $388, driven by gains in full-service restaurants and limited-service eating places. Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia contributed the most to the rise.

Average weekly earnings in professional, scientific and technical services rose 4.2% to $1,359, with Ontario contributing the most to the increase. The earnings growth in the sector was driven by accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll services, as well as employment gains in the high-paying computer systems design and related services industry.

Careers & Job Skills

By Ozzie Saunds You read an exciting job posting and apply, hoping to get a response from the company, but unfortunately

you’re left feeling frustrated, thinking days later, “How come they didn’t phone me about the position after I sent them my resume?”

Here are some of the most likely reasons why no one is even looking at the resume that you’re sending to potential employers. Your resume is not optimized for computer scanning software

With the growth of the internet, the way we find and apply for available positions has dramatically changed over the past decade. With just a few clicks of a button, a job seeker can upload or email their qualifications to an online job board or HR personnel. With the increased ability to apply for more jobs in a shorter amount of time, hiring managers and recruiters have to deal with a lot more applications per open position.

To cope, they have turned to recruiting software and applicant tracking systems to help them screen out resumes that don’t seem like a good fit. Applicant tracking systems (ATS) and recruiting software operates by linking keywords found in resumes to qualifications required to perform jobs. The computer software, after scanning resumes, recommends to hiring managers which resumes have been deemed worthy to be viewed by human eyes, potentially saving them valuable time. Job seekers who do not know how the job hiring process works, but whom are potentially qualified to perform the job, unfortunately get the electronic boot.

You don’t have a core competency or key qualifications section

Incorporate a section called “core competencies” or “key qualifications” near the top of your resume, which will illustrate that you have the qualifications required to do the job. This will also allow the recruiting software to find the keywords it is looking for early on in the resume scanning process. Keep it short: approximately 12 words. The trick, though, it to use the right words, and for that, you’ll need to read the job description closely.

Which brings us to… You’re not customizing your resume for each job application

Pay close attention to the key qualifications or mandatory skills section of job postings. What words are they using to describe this position, its tasks, and requirements? To get noticed, make sure your resume is using the same kind of language, throughout your work experience and education, and within your core competencies and key qualifications section.

Your resume does not incorporate a diverse set of industry terminology

When you’re looking for a job, read as many job postings as you can – even for jobs that you are not applying for. I know that sounds crazy, but it can be very informative.

By reading a lot of job postings within your career set, you’ll get a good understanding of the industry terms used to describe the skills and candidates organizations are looking for. These terms also tend to be


3 REASONS WHY NO ONE IS SEEING YOUR RESUME

December 2017


the words applicant tracking software programs pick up on. For example, if you are looking for a job in sales, keywords like business development and account management might be very useful to have in your resume – and you’ll know that by getting yourself informed.

On that note, make sure to look out for relevant online courses, webinars, and local networking events. Not only will this increase your network of contacts, it will also keep you up-to-date on the latest issues and tech innovations.

6 ONLINE RESOURCES TO HELP BOOST YOUR CAREER

By Madisyn Mckee The job market is constantly changing and you need to keep up in order to stay relevant. One of the best

ways to do this is by learning new skills. You’re probably thinking, where on Earth am I going to find time to learn a new skill with the other million things I have to do? The great news is, there are so many resources available to you online, and many of them have courses that you can watch in an hour.

So whether you’re looking at changing careers entirely or just expanding your knowledge, you can actually do it. After all, you have to take lunch, right? Why not plug in your headphones, dig into your lunch and learn at the same time? University of Toronto

University Toronto is one of the biggest research and teaching universities in North America, and it provides online learning tools and free on a variety of topics like; computer science, engineering, science, health, and many more. By signing up, you’ll have access to the videos, reading material, and even quizzes to see how well you’re retaining the information.

Udemy

Udemy is probably the most well-known website for online courses. You’ll find courses for everything under the sun here. While there are many courses you’ll have to pay for, they have one of the largest databases of free courses. Courses range from five minutes to an hour or two, perfect for watching over your lunch break. The selection may seem a bit overwhelming at first but try narrowing it down by looking at reviews. Because Udemy is an open platform, where anyone and everyone can create their own course, make sure to read reviews for legitimacy and relevancy of the course material.

Rosetta Stone

Being able to put another language on your resume looks great for an employer. While it’s not a free resource, Rosetta Stone is known as being one of the best resources when it comes to learning a new

language. Spending your lunch break learning a new language can come in handy, especially in a bilingual country like Canada.

ITunes U

If you aren’t yet using ITunes U, you’re missing out. Apple works with some of the biggest universities and colleges in the United States to provide free access to course material. This is another space you could learn just about anything. The material is made for all types of learning abilities as it’s a mix of video, audio, and reading material. Download the app to your IPhone and subscribe to any course or institution you want. Heck, you could even listen in on your commute to and from work.

Khan Academy

Khan is a completely free platform for all users. The website is intended for learning basic skills but it can be a great place to brush up on things you already learned. Let’s be honest, who actually remembers what they learned in grade 11 physics? Khan Academy is also a great format for those looking at going back to school. If you’re hoping to complete an MBA program, Khan Academy offers amazing resources to learn about higher education admissions, as well as ways to prep for your GMAT.

Yale University

One of America’s most prestigious universities is now accessible to everyone. You can make your way through an entire course at Yale lecture by lecture on your lunch breaks. Each lecture is roughly an hour long and comes with associated reading material. The university has some of the most diverse subjects available for the general public.

Lunch and learns

A lot of companies are now encouraging lunch and learns for their employees. The concept is pretty simple; employees get together over lunch to learn about each other’s roles or to learn new skills. The best way to go about this is to have a dedicated speaker per session. Typically, they will put together a PowerPoint and teach their co-workers new skills to help them do their job. Not only is this a great way to learn, it’s also a great team-building exercise. Just remember to make sure there is time for questions at the end as well!

Let us know what skills you’re planning on learning over your lunch break!

HOW TO ACE A PANEL INTERVIEW

By Lauren Pelley Panel interviews are increasingly common — but they can feel a bit like performing in front of Olympic

judges. A panel interview is a formal job interview arrangement where, instead of one hiring manager asking

questions, there are several people simultaneously interviewing a job candidate. That could mean a rep for Human Resources, a senior manager, and your potential boss-to-be, for instance.

While this style of job interview can be more efficient for both sides, there’s definitely a lot of stress involved. So how do you keep your cool when multiple people are firing questions at you from across a table?

Career coaches say there are a few key things to keep in mind. Prepare, prepare, prepare

Lee Weisser, senior career counsellor at Careers By Design, says the more you know about someone interviewing you, the better. She recommends asking the names of all the panel members and doing some background research by looking them up on LinkedIn.

That way you can learn about their current roles and work experience, and get a sense of anything you may have in common — like shared interests, or the same alma mater. It’s a good way to figure out ways you can stand out and personalize your answers, Weisser says.

You also want to do your homework so you know what each panelist is hoping to gain from the interview, says Mark Franklin, practice leader of CareerCycles and co-founder of One Life Tools.

“An HR person on the panel may be more concerned with questions about fit, while a technical manager may be more concerned with your technical skills,” he says.

Pay attention to the whole panel

There’s no question — facing a panel interview can be overwhelming. But experts say it’s important to maximize your face time with all the panelists.

“Make eye contact with the person who’s asking the question first, then move along and try to glance at each person,” suggests Weisser. At the end of your answer, circle back and make eye contact one more time with the panelist who asked the question, she adds.

Franklin agrees that job candidates should give equal attention to all the panelists. “Person A may be asking the question, but Person B and C will be interested in the answer,” he says.

Stay calm and collect your thoughts

So what do you do if you’re feeling a bit frazzled by the rapid-fire questions from multiple people? It’s important to stay calm and collected, Franklin says, and that can mean slowing down, glancing up to the ceiling for a moment, or simply asking to collect your thoughts.

Sarah Vermunt, founder of career coaching company Careergasm and author of Careergasm: Find Your Way to Feel-Good Work, recommends bringing a water bottle or pen to the interview. Whenever you spot the object out of the corner of your eye — it’s a chance to look away from the panelists, and gives you a visual cue to take a deep breath and stay calm.


December 2017


HOW TO ACE A PANEL INTERVIEW

She also says it’s important to just relax and be yourself. “If you’re in a panel situation and you’re trying to calculate how to impress each individual, you’re not listening to the questions, you’re not actually calming down enough to provide good answers,” she says.

Follow up — with every panelist

And the bottom line after a panel interview? Follow-up with each panelist, either with a thank-you card or email.

Franklin recommends finding out the contact information for the individuals who interviewed you — you can usually just ask HR — or, instead, you can send one message to your main contact and ask them to pass it on.

Either way, don’t skip the “thank you.”

By Richard Macedo It was a modest end to the 2017 BC land sale schedule, which was not indicative of the overall yearly

performance for the natural gas producing province. Bonus revenue rebounded strongly this year after a difficult two years, including a record low for revenue in

2016. The December sale generated $882,835 in bonus bids on 5,665 hectares at an average price of $155.84. For the year, the province earned $173.25 million on 79,238 hectares at an average price of $2,186.49. This

was a rebound year for BC after a record low in 2016 of $15,190,019. Rebound year

Two sales were largely responsible for the large jump in bonus bids year-over-year. The province started the year with a bang — the first land sale of 2017 in BC produced $39.62 million in bonus bids, driven by a $35.13-million license in northeast BC.

This upbeat start was in contrast to the brutal 2016, which set a new record yearly low for bonus bids of $15.19 million. For 2015, the province took in $18.19 million, which means BC surpassed in one sale what it took in for the previous two years combined.

Meanwhile, a large $77 million parcel highlighted BC’s July sale of petroleum and natural gas (P&NG) rights. Industry acquired 17,009 hectares at that sale for $84.73 million at an average price of $4,981.28.

By Richard Macedo Thanks to $28.62 million in the public offering of oilsands leases, the Alberta government took in a total of

$44.62 million in bonus bids on December 6th. The province sold 208,391 hectares at an average price of $214.12. Year-to-date, the province has attracted $537.79 million in bonus bids on 1.41 million hectares at an average

price of $381.30. Adanac Sequestration Corp purchased three leases in the Athabasca oilsands area, paying $3.78 million

($867.98/ha), $5.25 million ($891.98/ha), and $2.67 million ($626.87/ha). There was also interest shown in the Peace River oilsands area, with two parcels over $2 million and three

over $1 million, although at a lower per hectare amount. P&NG

On the petroleum and natural gas (P&NG) side, two parcels combined for $9.12 million. Meridian Land Services (90) Ltd. picked up a parcel for $4.37 million at an average price of $6,834.16, while

Antelope Land Services Ltd. acquired a parcel for $4.75 million at an average price of $6,186.74. The Alberta government held its final land sale of the year on December 20, bringing in $18.6 million in

bonus bids. Industry picked up 73,639 hectares at the Dec. 20 sale at an average price of $252.61. The province ended

the year with $556.39 million in bonus bids on 1.48 million hectares at an average price of $374.91. Dec. 20 sale highlights

Highlights of the sale included Windfall Resources Ltd. picking up two parcels. It acquired a lease for $1.55 million at an average of $3,029.93. The broker also acquired the rights to a lease for $1.23 million at an average price of $2,393.93.

Landsolutions GP Inc. acquired a lease for $1.54 million at an average of $6,019.96. Scott Land & Lease Ltd. picked up a parcel for $1.1 million, at an average price of $4,303.33. Three licenses combined for $5.3 million in bonus bids, and all were acquired by Meridian Land Services

By Stephen Marsters A total of 8,867 wells have been licensed across Canada in the January-to-November period, up 62 per cent

from 5,488 permits granted in the comparable period last year. There were 1,110 wells authorized in November, up from 1,051 wells in November 2016. There were 570 licenses approved in Alberta during November, down slightly from 590 licenses issued a year

ago. Still, it was the province’s highest monthly count this year for well licenses. Over the first 11 months of 2017, well permitting in Alberta has increased 49 per cent to 4,509 compared to

3,021 wells in January-November 2016. In Saskatchewan, 388 wells were licensed last month, down from 416 a year ago. During January to

November of 2017, a total of 3,287 wells have been licensed compared to 2,101 in the year-prior period (up 56 per cent).

British Columbia approved (input) 122 new licenses in November, up from 37 approved a year ago. To the end of November, BC has approved 840 new wells compared to 274 in the January-to-November period last year (up 207 per cent).

In Manitoba, 27 new wells were licensed compared to seven a year ago, while the 11-month tally has increased 161 per cent to 217 from 83 a year ago.

Operators licensed 106 oilsands evaluation wells in November, down from 215 permits issued in November 2016, but a monthly high for 2017. Over the first 11 months of the year, 201 oilsands evaluation wells have been licensed compared to 540 last year.

Producers in Western Canada licensed 682 wells to drill for oil or bitumen in November, up from 604 a year ago.

To the end of November, records show 5,728 permits were approved in Western Canada to drill for oil or bitumen, up 76 per cent from 3,246 licenses last year.

Gas permitting in the three western-most provinces over the first 11 months of 2017 totalled 1,551 wells, an increase of about 22 per cent from 1,270 permits last year.

Across Western Canada, producers licensed 162 gas wells in November compared to 168 a year ago. This year’s 11-month total includes 7,102 horizontal wells (excluding experimental wells), or about 86 per

cent of the total. Last year, to the end of November, operators had permitted 4,259 horizontal wells (again, excluding experimental wells), also about 86 per cent of the total.

Including experimental wells, Cenovus Energy Inc. led producers by licensing 120 wells in November. Second-place finisher Crescent Point Energy Corp. permitted 106 wells, while Canadian Natural Resources

Limited licensed 70 wells. Raging River Exploration Inc. had 58 licenses last month and Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. permitted 43 wells last month.

At the 11-month mark, including experimental wells, Crescent Point has licensed 816 wells, followed by Canadian Natural (619), Cenovus (446), Teine Energy Ltd. (389) and Raging River (381).

By Stephen Marsters Industry rig released 6,602 wells in the first 11 months of 2017, excluding experimental wells, an 87 per cent

increase from 3,540 wells drilled in the comparable period last year. On a percentage basis, the largest year-over-year changes to the end of November have occurred in Alberta

and Manitoba. Operators across Canada drilled 17.74 million metres of hole to the end of November, up 85 per cent from

9.58 million metres that were rig released in the first 11 months of 2016. Alberta producers rig released 3,412 wells to the end of November compared to 1,711 a year ago (up about

99 per cent). Total metres drilled in the province lifted 94 per cent to 10.15 million metres from 5.24 million metres a year ago.

Operators working in Manitoba drilled 223 wells over the first 11 months of 2017 compared to 71 in the year-prior period (an increase of 214 per cent), with 416,995 metres drilled compared to 127,827 metres rig released a year ago (up 226 per cent).

Saskatchewan’s rig release count improved 66 per cent to 2,387 wells compared to 1,437 rig releases in the same timeframe a year ago. Rig-release meterage in the province rose to 4.67 million metres from 2.90 million metres a year ago (up 61 per cent).

In BC, 565 wells were drilled to the end of November, up about 85 per cent from 306 wells drilled in the January-to-November period last year. Operators have drilled 2.43 million metres in the province over that timeframe compared to 1.25 million metres last year (an increase of about 94 per cent).

Across Canada, of those wells with a reporting status, 74.36 per cent of the wells with a status are listed as oil or bitumen wells — up from 65.82 per cent last year. Meanwhile, 21.34 per cent of the rig released wells to the end of November have gas as an objective, down from 24.74 per cent last year.

In Alberta, oil or bitumen is listed as the objective for 2,125 wells rig released over the first 11 months of the year compared to 916 wells last year (up 132 per cent). Wells targeting gas or CBM rose to 1,037 rig releases versus 628 a year ago (up 65 per cent).

Oil is listed as the objective of 2,103 wells drilled in Saskatchewan (compared to 1,370 in January-to-November 2016), while no wells have been rig released in the province with gas as an objective — either this year or last.

November rig release summary, excluding experimental wells In November, producers across Canada drilled 597 wells, again excluding experiment wells, up about seven

per cent from 559 rig releases a year ago. Operators in Alberta drilled 337 wells last month, an increase of 36 per cent from 248 wells in November

2016, while Saskatchewan’s rig release tally declined 31 per cent to 183 wells compared to 266 a year ago. British Columbia’s operators rig released 53 wells last month compared to 36 in November 2016 (up 47 per

cent). Producers drilled 21 wells in Manitoba last month, up from eight a year ago (an increase of 163 per cent).

Rig release counts, including experimental wells Operators drilled 7,159 wells, including experimental wells, over the first 11 months of 2017, up 75 per cent

from 4,086 rig releases in January-November 2016. Last month, 602 wells were rig released compared to 567 in November 2016 (an increase of six per cent).

Oil and natural gas revenue in the three major producing provinces for 2017/2018 is expected to climb from the previous fiscal year, although projections are lower than originally budgeted estimates.

As of the second quarter update in Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan, the provinces are forecasting a combined $3.99 billion for the 2017/2018 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2018. That would be up from $3.44 billion collected in 2016/2017, but it’s lower than the $4.38 billion originally budgeted for 2017/2018.

The provinces released these figures in recent second quarter budgetary updates. These numbers do not include Crown land sale revenue.

In Alberta for 2017-18, the total crude royalty forecast is up 48 per cent to $704 million, and the natural gas and byproduct royalty forecast is up 38 per cent to $626 million.

However, while estimates are up for most segments of non-renewable resource revenue in Alberta, the updated forecast for bitumen royalties now calls for $671 million less than originally budgeted — $1.875 billion for the 12 months ending March 31, 2018.

British Columbia’s natural gas royalty projection for 2017/2018 is down by $67 million as lower projections of natural gas prices and production volumes are partially offset by a lower estimate of the utilization of royalty program credits.

Oil and natural gas revenue of $619.1 million is now expected in Saskatchewan, lower than the $670.4 million at budget. The decline is primarily due to a lower West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price forecast and the higher exchange rate, partially offset by an increase in production and a lower light-heavy differential.
