Does that mean Surmont won't get any upgrades this year?

10 or 12 dollars a barrel would be the floor in West Texas before drilling came to a complete stop as it is in Western Canada and North Dakota

Most of these North Dakota field workers washout after a month or two in Texas....man you mean I actually have to work for my check?...also 90% of the crews are Hispanic...quite a culture shock for those from the far North

It means no growth capital will be spent. Maintenance capital will be spent (workovers/recompletions etc.) to keep within production guidance.

OP, a short course in accounting will answer your question. Specifically learn about operating expenses and capital expenditures and how they differ.

Does it mean that not a single well will be drilled? Not even delineation?
