Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said in a statement that the province isn't considering following Alberta's example in cutting oil production.

Saskatchewan's auditor is concerned that there may not be sufficient fail safes to ensure all of the province's inactive oil wells get cleaned up.

The PSAC forecast includes a significant increase in the number of wells drilled in the province to a new total of 2,600 wells, which is up from 1,940 wells in the original forecast.
