IN THE NEWS / Syncrude Coker Shut Down Following Fire

By CP
FORT McMURRAY, Alta. -- A fire has forced the shut down
one of two cokers at Syncrude Canada for at least 48 hours..

The coker withdraws coke from bitumen and starts the
conversion process into upgraded crude oil.

It's too soon to say how the shutdown will affect the oilsands
company's production, spokesman Peter Marshall said yesterday.

"The good news was nobody was hurt and all the other units in
the plant are in stable mode," he said. No cause was given for the
early morning fire.

The coker underwent repairs for a circulation problem in early
January. In July, it had problems again and was shut down until
mid-August.

The problems with the coker forced Syncrude to revise its year
end production target to 77.5 million barrels, down from the
previous forecast of 80 million barrels.
