East Coast Offshore Producers Monitoring Hurricane Path

摘要

(Reuters)-Canada's East Coast oil producers said Thursday they were still only monitoring Hurricane Bill as it moves north toward Newfoundland, even as forecasters said the storm could pack 100-miIe-per-hour winds when it hits the region. Canada's three major oil projects in the Jeanne d'Arc basin southeast of Newfoundland, capable of producing about 250,000 bbls of oil per day, could be directly in Bill's path when the storm arrives in the region late on Sunday night or early Monday morning.
