RE: RE: RE: RE: 4th Quarter production That is good news on the increase in pipeline capacity. The extra 250k bpd that is not stranded in Cushing helps the price we get. As far as issuing a news release that it is cold in Fort MacMurray I just do not see the need for it. If you look at COS average production, 300,000 is about normal. I have never worked at Syncrude, but I have worked in a sawmill in the past and breakdowns simply happen. They are unavoidable. The key is to minimize them.
