The Joslyn North Mine Project 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.
The Joslyn North Mine Project will be developed through conventional truck and shovel mining techniques.
Total Canada’s bitumen extraction technology will make it economically and environmentally feasible to achieve a planned production rate of 100,000 barrels of bitumen per day.
Once extracted, the bitumen will stay in Alberta where it will be pipelined to Total Canada’s future upgrader in Strathcona County, located northeast of Edmonton in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. Here it will be converted to synthetic crude oil and made ready for the market.
Current plans to power the Joslyn North Mine include two 85 MW cogeneration gas turbines, which will be fitted with heat-recovery steam generators. This technology produces both heat and electricity efficiently. Electricity produced in excess of site load will be exported to the Alberta power grid.
