Suncor Energy Inc., meanwhile, completed a major coke-drum replacement at its Base Plant more than 3 weeks faster than planned, allowing the company to cut capex guidance by C$400 million in 2025
“India’s energy journey offers engagement opportunities with Indian companies across multiple areas, including joint participation in the upcoming OALP-X bidding round, collaboration on subsea manifold and offshore technology development, apart from deploying AI-driven solutions for digital transformation in upstream operations,” the Indian minister added.
