North West Redwater Partnership Information

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. NWRP is a 50/50 partnership between Canadian Natural Resources Limited and the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission. OUR MISSION Maximize the value of processing bitumen into energy products safely and responsibly by our high performing teams for our partners, customers, and Alberta. OUR VALUES Integrity. Respect. Trust. Results.
