"Despite the challenging commodity price environment, we continue to see positive results from the cost reduction strategy that has moved MEG to a net operating cost of less than $10 per barrel," said Bill McCaffrey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This is a result of our ongoing efforts to further improve our operating efficiencies, as well as our success in steadily increasing production volumes from our existing assets."
