Total puts oil sands project on ‘back burner’

摘要

Calgary-Total has put its Alberta Northern Lights oil sands joint venture with Sinopec on the “long back burner,” a Total spokeswoman said Monday, though she declined to com- ment on “industry speculation” the Chinese state company will pull out of the project. Total Canada’s Julia Laarhuis would not speak to remarks by an Alberta government offi- cial Friday that Sinopec was unlikely to continue backing the proposed 100,000 b/d project.
