Belle sortie de cage à homard de mon coté...mon idée d'avoir une patte dans les sables bitumineux était bonne.....un "ti-peu" trop en avance....Quand il y a du mouvement des "major".....ça brasse les moyens et les petits.
French oil major Total SA (NYSE: TOT) and Canada’s Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU) have agreed to form an alliance that combines the two companies’ interests in a number of projects in the oil sands of Canada’s Alberta province.
Total will pay about $1.74 billion to Suncor to gain an additional 19.2% stake in Suncor’s Fort Hills project and a 49% stake in Suncor’s Voyageur upgrader project. The deal bumps Total’s interest in the Fort Hills project to 39.2%. Suncor owns 40.8% of the project and is the operator. Teck Resources Ltd. (NYSE: TCK) owns the remaining 20% and is not involved in this deal.
In exchange for the stake in the Voyageur project, Total passes a 36.75% stake in its Joslyn project to Suncor, retaining 38.25% for itself. Total will be the operator at Joslyn. Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY) owns 15% of the project and Japan’s Inpex owns the remaining 10%, and neither is involved in the announced deal.
Total will also cancel work on an upgrader it had planned as part of the Joslyn project. Instead the Voyageur upgrader will process the bitumen from both Fort Hills and Joslyn at a rate of 200,000 barrels/day once the upgrader is completed, now scheduled for 2016. Suncor expects to more than double its output by 2020, to more than 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
