OUR PEOPLE

Click on the thumbnails below to find out what it's like to work on the Long Lake Project.

This is Long Lake . . .

• Located 40 km southeast of Fort McMurray (8 km southeast of Anzac) in the Athabasca oil sands region of northeastern Alberta.
• The fourth major integrated oil sands project in Canada.
• First to combine Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) with the proprietary OrCrude™ technology, hydrocracking and gasification, to produce a premium synthetic crude oil.
• Phase 1 development includes approximately 70,000 barrels per day (b/d) of bitumen production from 81 SAGD well pairs.
• Recovered bitumen will be converted into approximately 60,000 b/d of premium synthetic crude oil and products via onsite upgrading.
• The more than two billion barrels of recoverable reserves and resources at Long Lake translates to a reserve life of approximately 40 years, with no exploration risk or declines.
• Regulatory approvals are in place for an additional 140,000 b/d of bitumen extraction and 70,000 b/d of upgrading capacity.
