Regina – Husky Energy, which was acquired by Cenovus Energy, had been Saskatchewan’s top oil producer for the first 11 months of 2020.
According to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Resources, from January to November, 2020, Husky produced 31.7 million barrels of oil. It has been the dominant player in northwest Saskatchewan. That will now revert to Cenovus, as of Jan. 1, when the deal closed.
