Dow Jones News
Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. (COS.T) cut its 2011 production outlook
at its Syncrude oil-sands project to between 105 and 107 million
barrels due to extended maintenance.
The change is a 3.6% drop to the top end of the company's
previously expected production range of between 107 million and 111
million barrels, and was caused as expected maintenance to a
hydrogen unit will be extended by a few weeks until the end of the
year.
Syncrude is one of the largest oil-sands mining projects in
Canada and produces about 300,000 barrels of oil a day. Syncrude is
a joint-venture 36.7% owned by Canadian Oil Sands. Other partners
include Imperial Oil Ltd. (IMO), Suncor Energy Inc. (SU), Chinese
national oil company Sinopec, Nexen Inc. (NXY), Mocal Energy Ltd.
and Murphy Oil Co. (MUR).
Canadian Oil Sands shares rose 1.9% to C$21.10 in recent trading
on the Toronto Stock Exchange as U.S. benchmark crude oil prices
topped $100 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Canadian Oil Sands announced the production cut in a release
late Tuesday.
