In situ oilsands production hits October high

The Jackfish 3 project near Conklin helped push In situ oilsands production in Alberta to an October high.

Production numbers averaged 1.35 million barrels per day, up from 1.3 million the month previous.

Jackfish 3 produced 3,800 bpd after beginning steaming operations in July.

The spike in production comes as the price of oil hit a low of $53 US per barrel, down about 50 percent from last July.
