Monthly oil sands production at Suncor has dropped to the lowest it’s been all year.
Suncor says last month it produced 218-thousand barrels per day.
That’s down 37 percent from last May and 32 percent from April.
Average production for the year is down almost 8 percent to 322-thousand barrels per day.
The company just finished scheduled maintenance at its Edmonton refinery and a central processing facility at its Firebag site north of Fort McMurray.
It also just signed an agreement with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union that will see members get a more than 10-percent raise over the next 3 years.
