Great Divide Oil Sands Project

 

 

Regional Map - SAGD Projects

  • Great Divide is located in the fairway 80km southwest of Fort McMurray
  • Other SAGD projects in area (highlighted on map)
  • Significant resource base with large recoverable reserve potential
  • Depth allows for most oil in fairway to be recovered with SAGD
  • Approximately 90,000 acres now owned in the immediate region
  • Most of the land Connacher postings
  • Large size of contiguous blocks helps logistics
  • Highway 63 provides logistical access and cost advantages
  • Infrastructure already in place (highways, pipelines, power)
  • Close to existing JACOS commercial operation at Hangingstone (commercial analogue)
  • Over $1.6 billion invested by industry in oil sands since Connacher acquired land in early 2004
  • Several indicated pods support repeatability, sustainability, expandability strategy
  • Efficiency of smaller scale operations, modular approach controls costs, maintains project manageability
  • Pod One production underway
