RE:RE:Irving Oil Refinery in Saint John N.B.I doubt that there will be a play for the Irving refinery.
what I would like to see is a deal done between:
1) CNOOC to trade Liwan asset holdings for SAGD assets (former Nexen properties). This would end the JV which, from what I've been told, is soon to expire anyway.
2) Deal offshore NFLD to Suncor in a swap for shared lands north of Foster Creek
the only transaction involving Irving and CVE that would keep most folks happy would be if CVE bought the refinery, packaged it with their other refineries and spun it off as RefineCo
