Energy Fuels - Oil Sands
We are involved in the accelerated development of the vast Canadian oil sands deposits, which have become a center for petroleum production in recent years.
Our experience includes work for Syncrude Canada Ltd., where we performed an in-depth study to determine the most effective method of removing overburden from the Mildred Lake oil sands deposit and established a cost estimate for the proposed stripping plan.
Another project for Syncrude Canada Ltd. involved preparation of design specifications for the second phase of an emissions reduction project near Fort McMurray, Alberta. Working together, we conducted detailed engineering and prepared a definitive cost estimate to retrofit a flue gas desulfurization facility for its crude oil production operations. Additional and follow-on work at the Mildred Lake facility includes detailed engineering and procurement services or two existing fluid cokers.
Washington Division was also commissioned to perform a prefeasibility study for a greenfields oil sands operation for Deer Creek Energy. This study included design of an aggressive development program for producing 110,000 bbl per day of bitumen, resource quantification, mine and plant design, processing, and environmental impact evaluations.
