CALGARY, Alberta, April 30 (Reuters) – A planned 60-day
maintenance turnaround on Coker 8-3 at Syncrude Canada Ltd’s oil
sands operations will begin in early May, the project largest
shareholder said on Monday.
The shutdown of the coker is expected to reduce Syncrude’s
production of light synthetic crude by about 100,000 barrels per
day.
Marcel Coutu, chief executive of Canadian Oil Sands Ltd
, which holds a 37-percent stake in Syncrude, said
output at the northern Alberta project has averaged between
360,000 and 375,000 bpd since April 11.
