ConocoPhillips <COP.N> and Total SA <TOTF.PA> will proceed with the second phase of their Surmont project, Husky Energy Inc <HSE.TO> and BP Plc <BP.L> are nearly ready to go ahead with their C$2.5 billion Sunrise venture, and Canadian Natural aims to approve the expansion of its Horizon oil sands project and construction of its Kirby development by year-end.
