Project Profile
Value: US$5,200 million
Location: Athabasca, Kinosis, Cottonwood, Leismer, Alberta
Capacity: 72,000 bpd
Average production: 20,000 bpd (1Q, 2016)
Product: Dilluted bitumen
Start-up Year: 2008
The project will see a US$5 billion dollar investment to increase bitumen production from Long Lake by 240,000 bpd (total to be 360,000 bpd) by 2016, to be developed in multiple phases of 70,000 bpd of bitumen per phase.
Each phase will be similar in size and design to Phase 1, with integrated SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage) and Or Crude Upgrader projects. The Phase 2 (Kinosis) increase to 60,000 bpd will consist of horizontal well pairs, related processing facilities and a cogeneration facility. The construction begins in Q3 2008, start-up for SAGD by late 2010 and upgrader by second half of 2011.
Phase 2 (72,000 b/d) - approved
Phase 3 (72,000 b/d) - application submitted
Phase 4 (72,000 b/d) - announced
