CANADA, 2013/05/29
Gasoline prices in Western Canada and the US Midwest have jumped due to supply issues surrounding the turnaround of Suncor's 135,000 b/d Edmonton, Alberta, refinery, industry sources said Thursday.
"Suncor's move to fasten gasoline and other fuels from other suppliers, this led to a rise in prices," said a Calgary trader.
On April 10, Suncor began five weeks of planned maintenance at the Edmonton plant. On May 10, it said it was in the process of restarting operations. The refinery produces mostly gasoline and distillate fuels for markets in Western Canada.
