Joslyn Lease
Since its purchase of the Joslyn lease in 2005, Total Canada has been working diligently to build better oil sands extraction operations. Total E&P Joslyn Ltd. is the operator of the Joslyn Lease, with a 75 percent participating interest.
Total's Joslyn lease is located 65 kilometers northwest of Fort McMurray in the Athabasca Oil Sands and covers an area of more than 221 square kilometers.
Oil Sands Surface Mining
Total Canada is currently in the regulatory approval process to construct and operate the proposed Joslyn North Mine Project. The Joslyn North Mine will commence operations in 2017 and will reach a production rate of 100,000 barrels per day.
Total Canada will use innovative new technologies to recover bitumen from oil sands. This will result in less impact on the environment and earlier restoration of the land. |
