Western Canada Natural Gas Resource Cost Curve
November 02, 2026
The chart presents the Canadian natural gas resource cost curve, comparing full-cycle costs and available resources across five major producing plays in Western Canada. Incorrys estimates over 540 Tcf of natural gas resources, with 508 Tcf available at full-cycle costs below USD $4/Mcf. The curve includes 33 data points representing different well productivity ranges and helps identify the volume of gas resources available at various production cost levels.
Western Canada Gas Full-Cycle Costs Per Basin
November 02, 2026
The chart compares natural gas full-cycle costs by component across the Alberta and BC Montney and Alberta Deep Basin. Canadian natural gas production remains among the lowest-cost in North America. Montney BC South has the lowest full-cycle cost at USD $1.64/Mcf, supported by highly productive wells and liquids uplift. Costs range from USD $2.13–$2.30/Mcf in Montney BC North and the Alberta Deep Basin, while Montney Alberta reaches USD $2.68/Mcf. Duvernay costs vary significantly depending on liquids content and gas composition.
