Opti Canada Inc. will raise about $400 million through a notes offering to fund the ramp-up of its Long Lake oilsands project and the company said there was a temporary fall in production in August.

Shares of the oilsands project developer fell as much as 18 per cent as the company was also hit by news of the Long Lake outage.

Opti plans to raise funds by offering $100 million of first-lien senior secured notes due 2012 and $300 million notes due 2013, it said in a statement.

The company started reviewing strategic options in November as it tried to deal with its flagging share value at the time due to the initial production issues at Long Lake.

Opti's shares were down 18 per cent in Wednesday trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, closing at $1.16.
