Pengrowth Energy Corporation (TSX:PGF) has set an interim 2017 budget of $125 million. The budget has to be interim because the company is still striving to sell assets in order to pay down debt, and thus suffers a "lack of visibility" as to how much will be spent on those assets this year. If history is any guide, Pengrowth will have to spend more than it would like because finding buyers will take longer than expected. Pengrowth started announcing asset sale plans in June, 2015, when it said it would aim to sell $600 million by the end of 2015. It fell far short of the goal, selling just $253 million by the end of 2015, and managed only minor sales throughout most of 2016.
