CNRL Horizon

The Horizon Oil Sands include a surface oil sands mining and bitumen extraction plant, complemented by on-site bitumen upgrading with associated infrastructure to produce high quality SCO. In late 2017, the Phase 3 expansion was completed at Horizon. It was the final step in the company’s transition to a long-life, low decline asset base. The production life is anticipated to be more than 40 years. At Canadian Natural’s Horizon operations, there are opportunities to increase reliability and enhance capacity from approximately 250,000 bbl/d of SCO.

BuLa was involved in this project through the installation of various rotating equipment, including the new Boiler Feedwater Pumps. Our millwrights also provided laser alignments, grouting, and pipe strain testing for the Froth plant and primary/secondary upgraders.
