Cenovus closes acquisition of Toledo Refinery

Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX: CVE) (NYSE: CVE) has closed on the transaction to purchase bp's 50% interest in the bp-Husky Toledo Refinery in Ohio, effective today. Cenovus already owned 50% of the facility, and now owns 100% and assumes operatorship. Total consideration for the sale is approximately US$370 million after closing adjustments, including working capital. Cenovus and bp will also enter into a multi-year product supply agreement.

The Toledo Refinery has 160,000 barrels per day (bbls/d) of throughput capacity, including about 90,000 bbls/d of heavy oil capacity, and increases Cenovus's total downstream refining capacity to about 740,000 bbls/d. Cenovus expects the refinery will ramp to full rates by mid-second quarter.

Eric Nuttall: Oil Bull Thesis Intact, Don't Allow Price to Set Narrative

Oil prices dropped in the first half of March, spurring questions about the outlook for the sector.

Eric Nuttall, partner and senior portfolio manager at Ninepoint Partners, said his bullish stance hasn't changed.

"What I think we saw — it's a very common trade to be long oil as a hedge against inflation and short bonds. And once Silicon Valley Bank and then Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS), etc. (started having problems), you saw an unwind of that. So you saw people covering the bond shorts and liquidating oil," he told the Investing News Network.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) rose 0.46 percent last week, closing the period at 19,500.73.

Market watchers were also closely eyeing the US Federal Reserve's meeting — after much speculation about how it would react to the ongoing banking crisis, the central bank ultimately hiked interest rates by 25 basis points.

Here’s a look at the five top-gaining TSX mining companies last week and the factors that moved their share prices.

Top 10 Oil-producing Countries (Updated 2023)

In recent years, the global oil market has been impacted significantly by COVID-19 disruptions, price wars between oil-producing nations and now Russia's war in Ukraine.

The output control deal made between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and 11 of the world’s top oil producers expired in 2020.

In an oversupplied market suffering from a lack of demand, oil prices turned negative, shocking market participants. Finally, with some pressure from the US, Russia and OPEC finally came to an agreement to cut production by 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) — the single largest output decrease in history.
