Bloomberg: Shell Says Oil-Sands Output Reduced by Mine Repairs
July 6 (Bloomberg) — Shell Canada Ltd. says production at its oil-sands mine in northern Alberta will be reduced until mid- July because of unscheduled repairs to a processing unit.
The Calgary-based company has shut down a production train capable of producing about 78,000 barrels a day of extra-heavy oil, spokeswoman Jan Rowley said in an interview. A second train at the mine continues to operate.
The cost of repairs hasn’t been determined and the lost production will have a bigger financial impact, Rowley said. The company needs several days to empty a settler tank so welders can repair a rake-like piece of equipment that helps separate oil from hot water used in the extraction process, she said.
