CALGARY (CP) – Nexen Inc. has become the latest oil and gas producer to write down its oilsands reserves due to new accounting rules at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Calgary-based Nexen, which is a partner in the planned $3.5 billion Long Lake oilsands project in northern Alberta, said Monday that the American stock regulator’s rules forced it to write off all of its proved oilsands reserves for year-end 2004.
