The report forecasts a 14 per cent increase in upstream natural gas and oil investment in 2021 and that capital spending is expected to be around $3.36 billion higher this year. Capital investment in the oil sands is forecast to hit $7.3 billion this year up from an estimated $6.7 billion total in 2020.
