Overview
Petro-Canada, UTS Energy Corporation, Teck Cominco Limited and the Fort Hills Energy Corporation are partners in the Fort Hills Energy Limited Partnership, which was established to capture the synergies arising from the concurrent development of a world-class oil sands mine and an Alberta-based synthetic crude oil manufacturing facility. Petro-Canada Oil Sands Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petro-Canada, is the operator of the mining and upgrading projects, and it will direct and manage the construction and operation of the proposed Sturgeon Upgrader. The first phase for the Upgrader is expected to be completed in 2011, enabling the processing of up to 170,000 barrels of bitumen per day. Subsequent phases could result in total upgrading capacity for the Upgrader of approximately 350,000-400,000 barrels of bitumen per day.
