The Sturgeon Refinery is the first refinery built in Canada in over 35 years. The only refinery designed from the outset with ... a carbon capture solution, it uses leading technology to maximize performance and minimize environmental impacts. In fall 2013, shovels officially broke ground on the project site. Peak construction saw over 8,500 workers on the project daily, in addition to thousands of jobs in engineering firms and fabrication shops. The refinery has been producing diesel and other products since December 2017. Phase One of the Sturgeon Refinery is designed to process approximately 79,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from Alberta’s oil sands into much higher value products. This includes low-carbon ultra-low sulphur diesel, vacuum gas oil, diluent, and natural gas liquids. The refinery is designed for two additional identical phases, creating the opportunity to maximize production of lower carbon fuels while simultaneously supporting new employment and economic impact. NWRP is a joint venture between North West Upgrading Inc. and Canadian Natural Resources Limited, with each company owning a 50% stake in the Partnership. OUR MISSION To build, operate and grow a safe, profitable and environmentally responsible bitumen refinery creating high value products for Alberta and the world. OUR VALUES Integrity. Respect. Trust. Results. read more
