RE:RE:SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLANS TO SUSPEND OPERATIONS AT STP-McKAY
I don't read the news release as anything but negative. CCAA stay ends June 1st. STP-McKay is being put into hibernation by the end of July. Interested buyers in McKay would need to act before June 1st, and they would still want both pads producing when they take over. Even though the netbacks are negative, it would still soften the blow during the steam up phase for pads 103 and 104 or any infill drilling.
The salaries are only approved up to August 31st according to the court docs. So STP needs to put everything they can't sell in indefinate hibernation well before then. Anyone else have a different take?
These are dark days in Alberta. Communist NDP government, low oil and the Flames are on the verge of elimination. At least the weather has been nice here in Cowtown.
Conclusion - no buyer for McKay. I wish everyone the best of luck finding new work. At least the pace of the mass firings has slowed according to the oilpatch layoffs thread on https://forum.calgarypuck.com
