It's been two months since we joined our long-standing neighbour and oil sand pioneer @suncorenergy. It was a critical step towards driving integration, efficiencies and competitiveness across assets in the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo.

Our integration with Suncor will lead to improvements and benefit from our collective strength in our regional operations while continuing to responsibly develop Alberta’s valuable oil sands resource.

One remarkable milestone leads to another!

Meet Craig and Kerri. Two Syncrude team members who may not work directly together, but their cross-discipline collaboration resulted in one remarkable milestone leading to another in 2020. As a heavy-duty mechanic on Team 506, Craig’s team helped haul truck 100 surpass 150,000 hours in service—more than doubling its life expectancy! That kind of truck reliability, as well as teamwork and alignment across the organization helped Kerri and her team process more oil sand and break two bitumen production records. #SyncrudeProud
