The Long Lake Project will use Steam Assisted Gravity
Drainage technology to recover bitumen. The bitumen will be partially upgraded
using OPTI’s proprietary OrCrude™ process, followed by conventional hydrocracking
and gasification. The end result will be a sweet, premium synthetic crude. And
it will be produced in an economically, environmentally and socially responsible
way. To learn how the Long Lake Project will work, click on the above diagram.
