Located approximately 60 kilometers northwest of Fort McMurray, MacKay River was our first in situ facility and the second commercial steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) project ever built.
MacKay River was originally designed to produce 30,000 barrels per day (bpd), but with the introduction of new technologies, it has expanded to 38,000 bpd. The bitumen is transported via pipeline to our Base Plant site for either blending or processing.
The facilities include bitumen/water separation, water treatment and steam generation facilities and typically has approximately 300 people on site each day.
