Petro-Can says has no deal to sell refinery parts
CALGARY, Alberta, May 14 (Reuters) - Petro-Canada (PCA.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) hopes to sell parts of its Edmonton, Alberta, refinery that will not be used when it completes a C$2.2 billion ($2.2 billion) retooling project, but has yet to sign a deal, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
"There have been some discussions with potential buyers through a third party that we've hired to assist us, but beyond that there's nothing signed," Kelli Stevens said.
A report in the online edition of India's Business Standard said CALS Refineries (CALS.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) bought two distillation units and a delayed coker from Petro-Canada for $110 million to use at a refinery it is moving to Haldia from Germany.
The report quoted Arun Ramachandra, president (commercial), CALS Refineries.
Stevens described the report as "premature."
