Canadian National Railway (CNR-T) crude by rail Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he is hopeful of more progress this month on talks with producers about easing oil curtailments, as long as the extra output is shipped by rail.

Alberta introduced mandatory production curtailments, effective Jan. 1 this year to ease congestion on export pipelines and support crude prices. Last month, Mr. Kenney's government extended those curtailments into 2020 because of slow progress in building new pipelines.

Major producers including Suncor Energy (SU-T) and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) have suggested the government allow them to boost output above curtailment limits, on the condition incremental production is exported by rail. "We are working on that and hope to have some more progress by later this month," Mr. Kenney told reporters on a conference call from New York, where he has been promoting Alberta's oil industry.

The government is also trying to off-load onto the private sector nearly $4-billion of crude-by-rail contracts which were signed by the previous government, amounting to 120,000 barrels a day of crude. Mr. Kenney is aiming to increase crude-by-rail shipments to 550,000 barrels a day.
