CALGARY, Alberta, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Suncor Energy Inc
SU.TO , Canada's largest oil and gas company, reported a
fourth-quarter loss of C$2 billion ($1.46 billion) on Wednesday
due to asset writedowns as a result of weak global crude prices
and unrealized foreign exchange losses.
In the year-prior quarter net earnings were C$84 million, or
6 Canadian cents per share.
Suncor's operating loss, which excludes one-time items, was
C$26 million, or 2 Canadian cents per share, in the fourth
quarter, from operating earnings of C$386 million, or 27
Canadian cents per share, in the year-ago period.
Suncor produced a total of 582,900 barrels of oil equivalent
per day, from 557,600 in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily
due to reliability in oil sands operations.
