Well not about oil in the prairies but possibly worth looking at in terms of issues surrounding oil and the impact on oil workers and the environment is "Rig/The Ocean Ranger Disaster" by Nfld authorJoan Sullivan and Rising Tide Theatre Company.

Great question, Karen, and one I'm pursuing too.
Some initial finds:

Cultch Theatre's Extraction

Emergency Architect Theatre's Highway 63: The Fort Mac Show http://www3.carleton.ca/cove/OilSandsEventMoreInfo.pdf

And maybe
Alberta Theatre Projects' Good Fences http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/theatre-and-performance/the-oil-sands-latest-byproduct-cutting-edge-theatre/article545406/

I'd like to know of more myself.

Hello colleagues,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of plays or other theatrical responses to the current Prairies oil boom. I have already discovered Karen Hines' wonderful Drama: Pilot Episode from 2012. Are there others?

Many thanks in advance
Karen
