I was at the Ft Sask UFA tonight and the sign said NO fuel till at least wednesday. Anybody else have no fuel??

 

lol nope we haVe lots of fuel in calgary

 

there are some stations between nc and sc that are having trouble getting fuel delivered?

 

i heard today that petrocan is shutting down there diesil plant for a while to upgrade it. apearantly we'll see a shortage of diesel for the next 45 days.

 

Petrocan bulk stations / cardlocks in Edmonton are out ... my excavator buddy is a LITTLE ticked!

 

UFA locally here was touch and go last week-moving product between the agent's multiple branches to try and keep everything going. I'm not going to let my truck get down to fumes again until supplies are back to normal....

 

appearently our ufa up here is out of diesel now and might be so till decemeber

 

Down to around $3.55 a gallon here. Plenty to be had.

 

Out in GP right now,,, not good, I gotta get back to FT Mac on wednesday

Saw a news blurb on the 'Net that said Suncor was resuming diesel production-maybe this will make a dent. Heard a UFA rep saying they are trucking it in from across the line now to try and keep going.

One good thing at least, we Know in Alberta we don't rely on Foreign oil for our fuel.
My buddys rig just shut down due to no fuel. I have to drive up north and not sure if there is going to be some fuel.

 

Out of fuel what a crock. Any excuse to keep the price up.

 

There tons of oil here, just a very few refineries in Alberta that can refine it. Thats the crock, their building more on the books for Ontario, but nothing here. Thats why our fuel prices are higher than out east and we have to live with fuel shortages. They have our cheap oil and gas, and we have to pay the emission costs.

 

Why the heck doesn't that Parkland refinery in Bowden fire back up? That was making fuel from condensate (stripped byproduct of natural gas) and shut down a couple years ago when it was too costly to continue. They could help out and make a fortune at the same time.

 

Try running 42 service rigs. Were getting close to shutting 10 or so down from Red Deer to GP...
I've yet had to pull that excuse to have a few days off for our guys... "ya Mr. Co Rep, I think we'll shut down for a month cause we have no Flippin fuel???"
Funny thing is 3 of those are Suncor rigs...
