Production in the quarter averaged 285,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day, down from 300,400 in the same quarter last year.
Husky says the decline came due to the mandated Alberta government production cuts and the ramp-up of operations at the White Rose field off the coast of Newfoundland, where production resumed at the end of January after an oil spill that suspended operations.
