Cenovus to build oil sands business via Athabasca acquisition - Oil & Gas Journal
The leaders of Cenovus Energy Inc., Calgary, plan to pay about CAN$5.7 billion for Athabasca Oil Corp. in a move president and chief executive officer Jon McKenzie called “a natural extension” of Cenovus’ Alberta oil sands strategy. Athabasca will add roughly 45,000 boe/d to Cenovus’ production, which McKenzie and his team have told investor will get close to 1 M boe/d this year. Roughly 80% of that latter figure comes from Canada’s oil sands, a business that Cenovus beefed up a year ago by buying MEG Energy Corp. for nearly CAN$8 billion. That transaction consolidated a lot of SAGD [steam-assisted gravity drainage] oil sands production in the Christina Lake area of Alberta.
