Recently, Suncor acquired TotalEnergies’ shares in TotalEnergies EP Canada, for about C$1.47bn (around $1.1bn).

TotalEnergies EP Canada owned a 31.23% working interest in the Fort Hills oil sands mining project (Fort Hills) and associated midstream commitments.

With the acquisition, Suncor now owns a 100% stake in Fort Hills in Alberta’s Athabasca region, 90km north of Fort McMurray.
