Dec 5 (Reuters) - Canadian Natural Resources Ltd forecast on Wednesday 2019 base budget about C$1 billion (about $753 million) lower than last year, blaming a lack of market access for its oil and “dysfunctional” government processes.
The company expects 2019 base capital program of C$3.7 billion, with maintenance capital targeted at about C$3.1 billion.
