CALGARY, Alberta, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Suncor Energy SU.TO
chief executive Steve Williams said on Monday he expected
Imperial Oil IMO.TO would continue to run the Syncrude joint
venture oil sands project even if Suncor's hostile bid for
Canadian Oil Sands Ltd COS.TO is successful.
Imperial Oil is another partner among seven in the joint
venture, and Williams said it was the only other natural bidder
for Canadian Oil Sands.
