Opti Canada , which filed for creditor protection on Wednesday, today announced an update on its joint venture operations over the second quarter of 2011. It has a 35 per cent stake in Nexen Inc.'s Long Lake project. In November 2010, the company announced that it expected Long Lake bitumen production volumes to average between 38,000 and 45,000 bbl/d (between approximately 13,000 and 16,000 bbl/d net to OPTI) for 2011. Based on lower than expected production since making this forecast, it does not expect to achieve this range. It said a portion of its initial 90 well pairs will not meet production expectations. Opti Canada does not expect to reach gross production rates over 50,000 bbl/d until Pads 12 and 13 are on-stream for a period of time. Pads 12 and 13 are scheduled to come on-stream in 2012 and will begin to ramp up shortly thereafter, it said. Opti last traded at 11.5 cents before being halted on the Toronto Stock Exchange, which is considering whether to delist the shares.
