The latest public offering for some of Saskatchewan's energy resources has once again surpassed last year's figures for the previous period.

The Government of Saskatchewan's Crown petroleum and natural gas public offering held on Tuesday, August 8, raised $16,689,771.93 for the province.

That's a step up compared to the public offerings last August, which brought in $6,520,191.82.

Of the 111 parcels posted, 92 parcels received acceptable bids. These bids covered 22,060.899 hectares.

The Estevan area brought in $9,022,070.38, with the Kindersley area close behind bringing in $6,273,105.45, and the Lloydminster area receiving $1,394,596.10 in bids.

After three of six public offerings this fiscal year, the province has received $37,183,902.32 in revenue.

This greatly exceeds the $19.4 million that was budgeted for the entire 2023-24 fiscal year.

The next scheduled date for a public offering in Saskatchewan is October 3, 2023.
