Alberta accounts for >70% of Canada's NG production. But last 10 yrs decline of 40%. West Can reserves gone from 99TCF 25 yrs ago to 60TCF now. Alberta's production est. to fall to 8BCF/d  by '15. But. Horn River Basin (NE BC) heating up. Est. 96TCF reserves (N. Am's 3rd largest). Likely to be piped to West coast for Asia. Look at NXY.
