- Website: https://www.cenovus.com/

- Production start: 2000
- Partners:
- Type: Oil
- Estimated Reserves:
- Production Volume:
Description
- The oil at Christina Lake is located about 375 metres below the surface and requires enhanced oil recovery technology to access and produce it.
- The primary technology used for this project is [[[Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage SAGD]]], which injects steam into the reservoir to soften the oil so it can be pumped to the surface.
- The project has been developed in phases, with phases A, B, C & D in operation
- Phases E, F & G are under development
- Oil from the project is processed at the Wood River Refinery
- Christina Lake is one of the most efficient SAGD facilities in the industry. It has a low steam to oil ratio (SOR), which means it uses less water and natural gas and creates fewer greenhouse gas emissions to produce a barrel of oil than other oil sands facilities of the same size.
- In 2019, the project had an average SOR of 2.0 This means we used approximately two barrels of steam to produce one barrel of oil.
