REUTERS/Chris Wattie/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 8 (Reuters) - Canada's Suncor Energy (SU.TO) beat market estimates for third-quarter profit on Wednesday, helped by strong refining margins and higher sales volumes from its oil sands operations. Refinery throughput declined marginally to 463,200 barrels per day (bpd) compared with a year earlier. Its net production of synthetic crude, a processed form of raw and heavy bitumen, rose to 469,300 bpd, compared with 405,100 bpd a year ago, due to lower maintenance activities. The company reported a net profit of C$1.54 billion, compared with a year-ago loss of C$609 million when it was hit by impairment charges.

OTTAWA, Oct 12 (Reuters) - The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) said on Thursday it will make a preliminary decision on Trans Mountain Corp's proposed shipping tolls for its oil pipeline expansion project this autumn, before holding a hearing on the tolls next year. The timing of the decision aims to ensure interim tolls are in place when the pipeline expansion becomes operational, the regulator said in a statement. The 590,000 barrel-per-day Trans Mountain expansion project (TMEP) will nearly triple the flow of oil from the province of Alberta to Canada's Pacific Coast and is expected to start operating late in the first quarter of 2024. But shippers including Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO) and Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO) are disputing the interim tolls proposed by Trans Mountain, arguing a portion of the base toll is too high. "After service begins on the TMEP and final costs are known, Trans Mountain can request approval from the Commission of the CER for final tolls," the regulator said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government bought Trans Mountain in 2018 for C$4.5 billion to rescue the expansion project, which has struggled with years of regulatory delay and massive cost overruns. A Reuters survey of five analysts and investors valued Trans Mountain between C$15 billion and C$25 billion, based on factors including projected earnings and oil shipping tolls. Trans Mountain Corp (TMC) CEO Dawn Farrell told local media last week the sale could wrap up by early 2025, just as Canada heads into a federal election. Trans Mountain offers strategic value as it is the only pipeline taking crude from Canada's oil patch to the Pacific, and on to Asian refining markets. "It's hard to imagine...that a pipeline like Trans Mountain would ever be built again," Poscente said.

The firm recommends buying call options into the individual companies' reports in what it calls its top "tactical" trades for earnings. "Option implied earnings day moves are elevated suggesting investors are nervous regarding upcoming earnings reports," Goldman analyst John Marshall wrote Thursday. Investors are contending with several headwinds that are making them uneasy into earnings results. Cenovus stock has ticked up more than 6% from the start of the year. The firm says call options for the December term with a $470 strike are the play ahead of Nvidia's results.

Oil rigs are seen at Vaca Muerta shale oil and gas drilling, in the Patagonian province of Neuquen, Argentina January 21, 2019. He said oil and gas reserves are depleting at 5-7% annually, and output will decline if companies stop investing to replace them. The Canadian government has not finalised subsidies for projects to capture and sequester emissions and is developing a cap on oil and gas emissions. Not all oil companies are reducing spending on production. Greater oil production could provide the revenue to pursue net-zero aims, Rath said.

CALGARY, Alberta, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said on Monday she wanted to announce the details of investment tax credits to support carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects at the COP 28 climate summit in Dubai at the end of this year. Smith made the announcement during a news conference on the sidelines of the World Petroleum Congress in Calgary. Alberta is Canada's main producer of crude oil and natural gas, and its highest carbon-emitting province. COP 28 runs from Nov. 30 until Dec. 12.

Morgan Stanley is banking on higher summer oil prices to extend into the fall. A combination of stronger demand and supply cuts pushed crude oil prices higher in the second half of the summer after showing encouraging signs of lower prices. On Tuesday, oil prices notched to their highest level since November 2022, according to FactSet data. Elsewhere, Morgan Stanley rates both ConocoPhillips and Hess at overweight, with price targets of $124 and $158, respectively. Among Canadian equities, Morgan Stanley also mentions Cenovus Energy with an overweight rating and a $31 per share price target.

The mechanism gives investors in CCS certainty about their future revenue by setting a minimum price for their carbon credits. Oil companies in the country's highest-emitting sector are counting on CCS to help dramatically cut emissions while continuing to pump oil and gas. Carbon credits represent reduced or avoided carbon emissions, and companies use them to mitigate greenhouse gases they generate. The government has told Pathways that the Growth Fund may not be equipped to handle some projects, said the Pathways representative who asked not to be named. Canada set up the Growth Fund last year, which is run through the Public Sector Pension Investment Board, a federal Crown corporation.

Bill Smead, chief investment officer at Smead Capital Management, has a bold market call: that oil prices could soar more than 100% in the next few years. The group expects global oil demand to hit 110 million barrels a day in about 20 years , pushing the world's energy demand up by 23%. Others have also taken a bullish stance on oil prices over recent weeks. Nevertheless, it said: "We believe that, at some point in the coming weeks, market fundamentals will drive the oil market.

NEW YORK, June 21 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma, storage hub have risen to their highest in two years, as outages at Midwestern refiners crimp demand and higher flows from Canada add to supply. Stockpiles at Cushing, the delivery point for U.S. crude oil futures, have climbed for eight consecutive weeks after falling earlier this year. Overseas demand for U.S. crude and an end to refinery outages should reverse the build, said analysts. "We're going to be sending more (oil exported) abroad," said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Price Futures Group. Canadian crude may have been sent toward Cushing as feedstock for a restart of the Toledo refinery, which had a fire last year, said Matt Smith, lead oil analyst for the Americas at Kpler.

[1/2] Danielle Smith of the United Conservative Party (UCP) gestures during her party's provincial election night party after a projected win in Calgary, Alberta, Canada May 29, 2023. Smith, leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP), defeated left-leaning New Democratic Party leader Rachel Notley on Monday, and immediately targeted Trudeau, threatening the country's ambitious climate goals. Some analysts have said deep emissions cuts are not possible without reducing oil production, which Smith fiercely opposes. "As premier I cannot under any circumstances allow these contemplated federal policies to be inflicted upon Albertans." "One of the challenges is there is a political class in Alberta that has decided that anything to do with climate change is going to be bad for them or for Alberta," Trudeau told Reuters in a January interview.
May 8 (Reuters) - Canada's Suncor Energy Inc (SU.TO) reported a better-than-expected first-quarter profit on Monday, helped by steady demand for energy amid crimped global supplies. The results come amid global oil prices pulling back from last year's record highs and trading 20% below on average, but the prices are still higher than historical levels due to tight supplies. On an adjusted basis, the company earned C$1.36 per share, compared with analysts' estimates of C$1.32 per share. Peers Imperial Oil Ltd (IMO.TO) and Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO) had also beat profit estimates last month. Its refinery utilization averaged 76% and the crude throughput was 367,700 barrels per day (bpd), compared with 436,500 bpd last year.
Companies Cenovus Energy Inc FollowMay 8 (Reuters) - Canada's Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO) said on Monday it has shut down production plants in some areas of its conventional business, due to wildfires in Alberta. The company added that production of about 85,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day has been impacted in Cenovus' Rainbow Lake, Kaybob-Edson, Elmworth-Wapiti and Clearwater operating areas. Cenovus, one of Canada's top energy producers, said it was working with provincial and municipal agencies to support efforts and staff in the area. The company added that its 2023 production outlook remains unchanged. Canada's main oil-producing province Alberta on Saturday declared a provincial state of emergency due to wildfires.
It added that about 50,000 boepd of production has been temporarily curtailed since the evening of May 5. Crescent Point Energy Corp (CPG.TO)Crescent Point said about 45,000 boepd of production in the Kaybob Duvernay region has been temporarily shut in with a plan to restart production once safe and permitted to do so. NuVista Energy Ltd (NVA.TO)The company said it has temporarily shut in and depressured all operations proximal to the ongoing fires in the Grande Prairie region. Vermilion Energy Inc (VET.TO)Vermilion Energy said it had temporarily shut in about 30,000 boepd of production and that it was assessing the risk to its operations. Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO)Cenovus said it has shut-in production and brought plants down in some areas of its conventional business.

April 14 (Reuters) - Futures for Canada's commodity-heavy stock index edged up on Friday, tracking a rise in crude prices, while upbeat earnings from big U.S. banks supported optimistic investor mood. June futures on the S&P/TSX index were up 0.2% at 7:00 a.m. Wall Street futures slipped as most growth and technology stocks were down in premarket trading, while robust earnings from big U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) and Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N), limited losses for futures tracking S&P 500 (.SPX). The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index (.GSPTSE) rose on Thursday to its highest closing level in nearly six weeks, buoyed by strength in gold miners. In company news, Scotiabank downgraded oil and gas company Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO) to "sector perform" from "sector outperform."
March 16 (Reuters) - BP (BP.L) violated U.S. process safety rules and did not train workers properly at its Toledo, Ohio refinery in September, contributing to the death of two workers at the plant last year, U.S. federal investigators said Thursday. The two refinery workers died from their burns following an explosion in September 2022. Investigators said BP Products North America failed to properly train operators to identify the presence of naphtha, a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture, during an upset. BP Products North America is a Houston based subsidiary of BP and operated the 150,800 barrel-per-day Toledo, Ohio, refinery at the time of the explosion. BP Products North America has 15 business days to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
While law firms sometimes negotiate fixed fees on transactions, market participants said such deals would be unlikely on transactions that faced the amount of legal uncertainty of Rogers-Shaw. The Rogers-Shaw deal is expected to be the tenth-largest deal in Canadian history since 1995, according to data from Dealogic. Law firms Lax O’Sullivan Lisus Gottlieb represented Rogers, while Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg and Wachtell are lawyers for Shaw. None of the law firms responded to Reuters queries on the legal fee. Rogers and Shaw on Friday extended the closing deadline for the fourth time to March 31.
Feb 3 (Reuters) - Energy firms are using a chunk of their bumper quarterly profits from surging natural gas and fuel prices to reward shareholders with higher dividends and share buybacks. The top 25 North American oil and gas companies by market capital posted a combined profit of $70.04 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 186.3% higher than a year earlier, according to Refinitiv data.

JPMorgan added fresh names to its top stock picks for February, including a medical tech company that's rallied sharply to begin the year. For February, JPMorgan added five new names to its Focus List: Cenovus Energy , CMS Energy , Rogers Communications , Stryker and Treace Medical Concepts . The medical tech stock is up 12% year to date. JPMorgan said new additions CMS Energy and Cenovus Energy are uniquely positioned within the industry, according to the note. Amazon's stock fell more than 30% during the past 12 months, but it has rallied to start the year, up more than 24% in 2023.
It is planning to develop a CCS hub in northern Alberta, expected to cost C$16.5 billion ($12.3 billion) by 2030. Trudeau told Reuters in an interview earlier this month Alberta was "hesitating around investing in anything related to climate change". Canada is the world's fourth-largest producer of crude, most of which comes from Alberta's oil sands. The oil and gas sector is the country's highest-polluting industry and needs to drastically cut emissions if Canada is to achieve its climate commitments. 'NO TIME TO SLIP'The Pathways Alliance has already said Ottawa's goal of cutting oil and gas emissions 42% by 2030, equivalent to a 35-megatonne reduction, is impossible.

SummarySummary Companies BoC rate decision due WednesdayTraders see a 71.5% chance of 25 bps hikeDec 06 (Reuters) - Futures for Canada's resources-heavy main stock index edged up on Tuesday as gold prices rose, while investors await the Bank of Canada's interest rate decision. Gold prices steadied on Tuesday after shedding more than 1% in the last session, helped by a weaker dollar. Commodity prices have a major impact on Toronto stocks, as materials and energy companies combined have a near 31% weight on the main index. The TSX, like its U.S. counterparts has rallied from October lows on hopes that the Federal Reserve and major central banks would dial down their aggressive approach on interest rates. The BoC will be one of the first major central banks to announce the interest rate decision in December, with announcements from the Fed and the European Central Bank to follow next week.
