What Suncor Energy does

Integrated Canadian energy company with oil-sands production, refining and Petro-Canada retail fuel stations.

Sells synthetic crude from its own oil-sands mines and turns part of it into fuels at its own refineries, selling through the Petro-Canada stations, so the refining and retail arms cushion weak crude prices. It merged with Petro-Canada in 2009.

In one line: Canada's Marathon Petroleum plus an oil-sands producer.
