Imperial Provides Update on Syncrude Outage

Business Wire
Imperial today provided an update on work to restore production
at Syncrude following a power disruption on June 20 that resulted
in a complete shutdown of all processing units. There are no
shipments of synthetic crude from the operation at this time.
Investigation into the cause of the power disruption is ongoing.
Indications suggest a high voltage transformer trip resulted in a
cascading shutdown of site-wide power and utility
systems. Investigation results are being incorporated into
restart plans.
Syncrude is working to complete equipment integrity inspections
with a goal of restoring partial production by late July. Return to
full production is not anticipated until sometime in September
following completion of maintenance activities required due to the
outage.
Imperial recognizes the hard work and dedication of the Syncrude
workforce to safely restore operations and is providing technical
and operational personnel to support the recovery effort.
Imperial owns 25 percent of Syncrude and provides operational,
technical and business support to the joint venture under a
management services agreement. Imperial’s share of gross production
from Syncrude averaged 62,000 barrels per day in 2017.
After more than a century, Imperial continues
to be an industry leader in applying technology and innovation to
responsibly develop Canada’s energy resources. As Canada’s largest
petroleum refiner, a major producer of crude oil, a key
petrochemical producer and a leading fuels marketer from coast to
coast, our company remains committed to high standards across all
areas of our business.
