CALGARY, Nov. 10, 2014 /CNW/ - Imperial today confirmed a
precautionary shutdown of its Kearl operations due to the early
detection of a vibration issue with the plant's ore-crusher
unit. Replacement parts, to address the issue, are being
installed and production is expected to resume in the next several
weeks.
The Kearl initial development commenced bitumen production in
April 2013. Excluding the impact of a
planned 14-day turnaround in late September, average production in
the third quarter of 2014 was 92,000 barrels per day.
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 and
natural gas, 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.
