Canada oil sands: financial focus in Q3 2021
Report summary
The third quarter of 2021 saw a return to consistent operating performance cast upon the backdrop of seven-year high oil prices. Operators continued their focus on reliability and optimization, as some projects returned from planned maintenance and turnovers in the previous quarter. Strong earnings were used to shore up balance sheets through debt repayment, and through share buy backs, to take advantage of opportunistic low to moderate share pricing.
