When the stars align - In our most recent credit notes, we highlighted an increasing number of Canadian companies redeeming their debt early. The incentive for energy producers to reduce debt could not be greater. Current WTI prices have allowed many energy producers to extinguish debt a lot quicker than anticipated. In May, both Cenovus Energy and Suncor Energy chose to take out debt 2-3 years ahead of schedule. Despite WTI dropping $20 from its local highs from about one month ago, the forward crude curve is trading higher the past 3 months. All this to say, the free-cash-flow being generated by many of these energy producers in this current oil environment should allow for continued aggressive pay down of debt.
