SNC-Lavalin gets Canadian oil sands contract
SNC-Lavalin has an engineering and procurement (EP) contract with Grizzly Oil Sands ULC for its new Algar Lake steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) facility located near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
The project consists of an initial 5,000 bpd SAGD central processing facility with associated well pads, flow lines, tank farm and 8 MW cogeneration facility. Work has begun out of SNC-Lavalin’s Calgary office and the detailed design of the project is expected to be completed in April 2011.
This is a unique project in the fact that the execution plan is based on engineering and constructing a completely modularized processing facility capable of being trucked to site. Field construction requirements will be limited to placing and interconnecting the modules followed by commissioning of the facility.
“We are very pleased to be recognized for our SAGD experience as well as our modularization expertise, and we look forward to supporting Grizzly with their novel approach” said Jean Beaudoin, executive vice president, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. “We have been active in the oil sands market for many years, and this award highlights our ability to tailor our experience and delivery model for our clients.”
