NEW YORK, May 12 (Reuters) - CNOOC's Nexen is said to have
issued a force majeure for 100 percent of its May production for
Long Lake Heavy crude, two sources familiar with the matter said
on Thursday.
The company was said to also be passing on a cut of 68
percent of sales of Western Canadian Select and Access Western
Blend crude to customers, the sources said.
Nexen was expected to issue a formal force majeure letter
shortly, they added.
A Nexen spokeswoman could not immediately be reached for
comment.
