When writing emails to long-distance friends, I often end up starting off with, “Sorry it’s taken me so long to write…” And as I post to this blog for the first time, I can’t help but feel like I should start the same way.
It’s a poor excuse (here and in my emails), but a lot has been going on!
The merger between Petro-Canada and Suncor became officialat the beginning of August. A month or so later, I learned I’d be taking over the role of senior communications advisor for the new company’s Natural Gas business (Kyle Happy, who held that title at Petro-Canada and maintained this blog until now, is still around – you can read more about both of us here).
It’s taken me some time to get up to speed, and to tell you the truth, I’m not sure if I can claim to be there yet. But I wanted to introduce myself anyway. I also wanted to draw your attention to what is, by now, a bit of old news.
In late September, the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) requested more information from Suncor about the pipeline routing options that Petro-Canada proposed for the Sullivan field.
There have been a few posts on this blog about the regulatory schedule for the Sullivan decision, and that includes scheduling updates and revisions. This latest announcement from the Board means another of those updates. Suncor and the interveners have a new schedule to follow, based on the ERCB’s recent request. The schedule now culminates with a final reply from Suncor, due by November 17, 2009.
For now, that’s about all I have to report. Well, that and one other thing: it shouldn’t take me so long to write next time!
