The G&M is reporting that " BP is selling $3.25-billion (U.S.) of energy assets in Western Canada to Apache Corp." " The sale of natural gas assets in Canada accounts for about half of a $7-billion deal with Apache announced Tuesday afternoon, just after the markets closed."

Does anyone know if this sale includes the CBM project in the area?
