Share price pressure- silver lining I believe the comment at the end of the article is what is putting the share price under pressure today.
"Coutu also said that Syncrude, which produces up to 350,000 barrels per day of synthetic crude oil from its northern Alberta operations, has been having problems with its crushers and the extraction process, causing what he called "a blip" in production.
He did not say whether Syncrude was close to resolving the problem, but said the project was "working through it now".
Sources told Reuters last week that Syncrude output would be cut this month by 400,000 barrels because of the production problems.."
if it is only 400,000 BO that is is about 13,000 BOPD will be a substantial improvement from November, hence the silver lining.
