Carmon Creek Oil Sands Project

Summary Information

• Operator: Shell
• Country: Canada
• Location: Peace River, Alberta
• Production start:
• Partners:
• Type: Heavy Oil
• Estimated Reserves:
• Production Volume: 80,000 bpd (Planned)

+++ Description

• The project is expected to produce about 80,000 barrels per day of heavy oil using steam recovery methods
• There will be 13 well pads in the initial development
• An inter field pipeline system will transport steam to the wells and produce bitumen, water and natural gas that will be sent to central processing facilities.
• The central processing facilities will separate bitumen from water and natural gas, which can then be used to produce steam.
• Diluted bitumen is expected to be exported to existing North American refineries.

+++ Contractors

• **ICA Fluor:** modular fabrication and procurement services for 13 well pads
• **NEM:** Engineering, fabrication and supply (Delivery At Place) of three Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generators

+++ History

• 2010 - Shell submitted its regulatory application
• 2013 - Regulatory approval given
• 2013 - Final investment decision reached
• 2014 - ICA Fluor awarded contract for fabrication and procurement
