In total, Husky’s energy’s share price has dropped more than 35 per cent since the beginning of the year.
Husky’s fourth quarter results were also negatively impacted by the extended shutdown of the Lima Refinery, as well as unfavourable U.S. oil prices.

“We delivered on critical milestones during the year, including our top priority of improved safety performance.
“We met our production and capital guidance, achieved first oil at the 10,000 barrel-per-day Dee Valley thermal bitumen project and have completed the safe startup of the Lima Refinery crude oil flexibility project,” he said.
