Supply problems hike Canada, US gasoline prices

摘要

Calgary—Gasoline prices in Western Canada and the US Midwest have jumped due to supply issues surrounding the turnaround of Suncor’s 135,000 b/d Edmonton, Alberta, refinery, industry sources said. “Suncor’s move to secure gasoline and other fuels from other suppliers led to a rise in prices,” a Calgary trader said. On April 10, Suncor began five weeks of planned maintenance at the Edmonton plant and a month later on May 10, it said it was in the process of restarting operations. The refinery produces mostly gasoline and distillate fuels for markets in Western Canada.
