“It lowers chemical operating costs by CAD 0.50-CAD 0.75 a barrel, supports regulatory compliance, and removes about 700 trucks per year from the road at site.”

“We're seeing production volumes from Christina Lake North respond well, with current rates reaching above rated capacity of 110,000 barrels per day.”

“As a result, we've shortened the planned duration of the turnaround by nine days and reduced the expected production loss by over 700,000 barrels, representing more than 20,000 barrels per day of increased production over the turnaround duration.”

“With the increased productivity we are delivering at each of Christina Lake, Foster Creek, and Sunrise, we are increasing our full-year production guidance for the company to the range of 970,000 BOE-1,010,000 BOE per day, with no change to our capital investment guidance.”

“In the second quarter, we generated approximately CAD 5.9 billion of operating margin and CAD 5 billion of adjusted funds flow, both all-time highs for Cenovus.”

“Upstream operating margin was over CAD 4.9 billion, increasing from the prior quarter due to higher benchmark oil prices and increased oil sands production.”

“In the Canadian refining business, full-year operating cost guidance is lowered by CAD 1 per barrel to CAD 11 per barrel at the midpoint, reflecting increased throughput guidance and lower repairs and maintenance.”

“refining operating costs were CAD 10.55 per barrel, almost CAD 1.20 per barrel lower than the previous quarter, reflecting higher throughput volumes combined with lower energy and electricity prices.”

“With record adjusted funds flow and nearly CAD 700 million reduction in non-cash working capital, net debt decreased to CAD 5.4 billion at quarter end, representing a CAD 2.7 billion reduction in one quarter.”

“Shareholder returns in the second quarter were CAD 1.4 billion, including CAD 1 billion in common share purchases through the NCIB and CAD 411 million through common share dividends.”

“As our net debt is now below CAD 6 billion, as per our revised financial framework we set out when we announced MEG, we will be increasing targeted shareholder returns to 75% of excess free funds flow over time while continuing to progress towards our long-term net debt target of CAD 4 billion.”

“There's the pipelines, there's the physical constraints that are what they are, and we see those pipelines running full, and that pull continues to be there.”
