Suncor assumes operatorship of Syncrude
01 Octobre 2021 - 12:45PM
Suncor today confirmed that it has assumed operatorship of the
Syncrude Joint Venture, a critical step towards driving greater
efficiencies and competitiveness across all Suncor-operated assets
in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB).
The arrangement, which has the full support of the
Syncrude joint venture owners and was initially announced in the
fourth quarter of 2020, reflects Suncor’s confidence in the
Syncrude asset and is part of a multi-year strategy to improve its
operational performance, efficiency and competitiveness.
“In 2016 we acquired the interest of Canadian Oil
Sands and since that time have continued to work with the other
owners to find ways to capture increased value,” said Mark Little,
Suncor president and chief executive officer. “Since the plan
to assume operatorship was announced late last year, we’ve worked
closely with the Syncrude team as well as the other joint venture
owners to ensure a smooth transition of operatorship. Today marks a
new chapter for the Syncrude project and by capitalizing on the
collective strength of all of the Suncor-operated assets in the
RMWB, we’ll work to improve operating performance and unlock
significant value.”
In the RMWB, Suncor operates its Oil Sands Base
Plant, in situ assets Firebag and McKay River, as well as joint
venture assets Fort Hills Limited Partnership and Syncrude. Since
2016, Suncor has grown its ownership in Syncrude from 12% to 58.74%
through acquisitions.
The Syncrude joint venture owners are operator
Suncor (58.74%), Imperial Oil Resources Limited (25.0%), Sinopec
Oil Sands Partnership (9.03%) and CNOOC Oil Sands Canada
(7.23%).
