   Another death at Chinese-owned oil site

   When Nexen is not flooding the land with oil from ruptured - but undetected -   
   pipelines, it's killing its workers through explosions at worksites.   
      
   And the premiers of these provinces - Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan - dare to   
   chastise the Mayors of Quebec for not wanting to gamble more pipelines through   
   their lands?

   Death toll now at 2: Worker badly burned in Alberta oilsands explosion dies   
      
      
   EDMONTON -- Occupational Health and Safety says a 30-year-old worker who was   
   critically injured in an explosion at an oilsands upgrader in northern Alberta   
   has died.   
      
   The man, identified previously by his cousin as Dave Williams of Scotchtown,   
   N.S., had been transported to the burn unit at an Edmonton hospital after the   
   blast Jan. 15.   
      
   Kelly MacEachern told the Cape Breton Post last week that her cousin was a   
   journeyman millwright and had been living and working in the West for several   
   years, but loved coming home for vacations and was in Cape Breton for   
   Christmas.

   It's the second death resulting from the explosion -- a 52-year-old employee   
   was pronounced dead at the scene.   
      
   The blast occurred at Calgary-based Nexen's (TSX:NXY) Long Lake plant near   
   Fort McMurray on Jan. 15.   
      
   A Nexen official said at the time that the two men were doing maintenance work.   
      
   No one else was injured.   
      
   The blast occurred in a part of the upgrader that breaks hydrocarbon molecules   
   into smaller pieces to make a lighter oil product for shipping.   
      
   Nexen Energy ULC was acquired by China's state-owned CNOOC Ltd. more than two   
   years ago.   
      
   A pipeline rupture at the plant last summer leaked five million litres of a   
   mixture of bitumen, produced water and sand into muskeg.   Documents show the   
   Alberta Energy Regulator's investigation into the spill continues, even though   
   the deadline to    
   determine what caused it was Oct. 15
