This report lists oilsands projects located in or adjacent to the
Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and their current status:
operating, under construction, proposed or on hold. The report
looks at both mining and in-situ oilsands projects, as well as
upgraders. New or proposed projects are included only if they are
active or can reasonably be expected to start construction within
the next two years.
This report can be used as a resource for job seekers, contractors
and others who are interested in the near-term status of oilsands
development in the region.
OTHER PROJECT LISTS
This report is organized primarily for job seekers and contractors in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo making immediate
or near-term career and business decisions. There are other sources of oilsands project lists which include different information,
such as production capacity, projects with longer lead times and projects in other parts of Alberta.

JOB SEEKERS
as welders and pipe
fitters, process operators
and heavy equipment
operators. Maintenance
work is often contracted
to oil and gas service
companies.
Looking for work in Wood Buffalo? This report provides a list of
oilsands projects in the region and their current status. You can
use this report as a guide to see which projects are operating,
which are under construction and which are proposed for the near
future.
The list is broken down by surface mining (open pit) and in-situ (inplace) oilsands developments, as well as upgraders.
There are many phases to an oilsands project. Each phase
creates different types of jobs:
Pre-Construction: Before
construction starts, there is
exploration, engineering,
regulatory and financing
activity under way on some
projects.
Construction: During construction,
oilsands companies contract companies
to build everything from access roads to
steam plants and refineries. Certified
tradespeople, labourers and heavy
equipment operators are some of the
workers needed during the construction
phase. Most construction workers are
hired by construction companies, not by
the mining companies.
Operations and maintenance: When construction is
complete, oilsands companies employ a variety of skilled workers
to operate and maintain the plants. This includes engineers and
technologists, as well as management, business and
administration staff. They also employ certified tradespeople, such
To see which oilsands
companies or
contractors are hiring, go
directly to their corporate
websites (see “Contact
Information” at the end
of this document). Most
companies post their job
openings on their
corporate websites
under headings such as
Careers, Employment or Jobs. You can also find job opportunities
and information about working in the Fort McMurray area on
Facebook at facebook.com/fortmcmurrayjobs.
QUICK FACT
If a person is looking for a job that comes with
camp accommodations, they should start by
looking at the construction contractors who do a
lot of work in the area.If the job posting doesn’t
mention camp accommodations, and the job
seeker does not know if they are provided, they
must apply for the job and talk to the contractor
during the interview to find out specific details.

CONTRACTORS
Oilsands developments create many opportunities for contractors
who want to work in the region. Contractors often work directly for
oilsands companies doing construction and maintenance work.
They may also subcontract to larger construction companies.
Work is done not only in and around Fort McMurray, but across the
Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and in the Athabasca
Deposit outside the municipality.
Contractors can use this report as a guide to see the status of
different oilsands projects that they might want to bid on.
To investigate contracting opportunities, contact major employers,
including oilsands companies. There are four oilsands surface
mining companies currently operating in the region: Suncor
Energy, Syncrude, Shell Albian Sands (formerly known as
Athabasca OilSands Project) and Canadian Natural Resources
Ltd. There are also dozens of in-situ production companies and
hundreds of construction companies that may sub-contract.
Start with a search of company websites. Some companies, such
as Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., Cenovus and Suncor
Energy, have detailed information for contractors online. If
information is not on a company’s website, call its main phone
number and ask who to talk to about contracting opportunities or
vendor pre-qualification.
The following section provides online resources for contractors
who are interested in working in the region.
QUICK FACT
According to the Oil Sands Developers Group,
each dollar invested in the oilsands creates
approximately $9 worth of economic activity
globally, and $6 of activity in Alberta. Depending on
the needs of the industry, there are between 8,000
and 30,000 people employed to build and maintain
facilities at any given time. For more information,

CONVENTIONAL OIL VS. ALBERTA
OILSANDS
Conventional oil flows
through a well without
stimulation and through
a pipeline without
processing or dilution.
Conventional oil is
made up of a mixture
of pentanes and
heavier hydrocarbons
recoverable at a well from an
underground reservoir and liquid at
atmospheric pressure and temperature.
The Alberta Oilsands are a thick, viscous
mixture of bitumen hydrocarbons combined
with water, sand, heavy metals and clay. The
bitumen is separated from the oilsands through
heating processes and is then upgraded into
higher-valued products for end-use markets.

GLOSSARY OF OILSANDS TERMS
specified area. The land must be reclaimed and
returned to the Crown at the end of operations.
Barrel
The traditional measurement for crude oil
volumes. One barrel equals 159 litres (42 U.S.
gallons). There are 6.29 barrels in one cubic
metre of oil.
Muskeg
A water-soaked layer of decaying plant material
that is one to three metres thick and found on
top of the overburden.
Bitumen
Naturally occurring, viscous mixture of
hydrocarbons that contains high levels of
sulphur and nitrogen compounds. In its natural
state, it is not recoverable at a commercial rate
through a well because it is too thick to flow.
Bitumen typically makes up about 10 per cent of
the weight of oil sand, but saturation varies.
Oilsands
Bitumen-soaked sand that is located in four
geographic regions of Alberta: Athabasca,
Wabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River. The
Athabasca deposit is the largest, encompassing
more than 42,340 square kilometres. Total
deposits of bitumen in Alberta are estimated at
1.7 trillion to 2.5 trillion barrels.
Extraction
A process unique to the oilsands industry, which
separates the bitumen from the oil sand using
hot water, steam and caustic soda.
Royalty
The Crown’s share of production or revenue.
About three-quarters of Canadian crude oil is
produced from lands on which the Crown holds
mineral rights, including the oilsands. The lease
or permit between the developer and the Crown
sets out the arrangements for sharing the risks
and rewards.
Greenhouse gases
Gases commonly believed to be connected to
climate change and global warming. Carbon
dioxide (CO2) is the most common, but
greenhouse gases also include other light
hydrocarbons (such as methane) and nitrous
oxide.
In-situ
Latin for “in place.” In-situ recovery refers to
various methods used to recover deeply buried
bitumen deposits.
Lease
A legal document from the province of Alberta
that gives an operator the right to extract
bitumen from the oil sand existing within a
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD)
An in-situ production process using two closely
spaced horizontal wells: one for steam injection
and the other for production of the bitumen/water
emulsion.
Synthetic crude oil (SCO)
A manufactured crude oil comprised of naphtha,
distillate and gas oil-boiling range material. Can
range from high-quality, light and sweet
bottomless crude to heavy, sour blends.
Tailings
A combination of water, sand, silt and fine
clay particles that are a by-product of
removing the bitumen from the oil sand.
Thermal recovery
Any process by which heat energy is used to
reduce the viscosity of bitumen in-situ to
facilitate recovery.
Truck-and-shovel mining
Large electric or hydraulic shovels are used
to remove the oil sand and load very large
trucks. The trucks haul the oil sand to dump
pockets where it is conveyed or pipelined to
the extraction plant. Trucks and shovels are
more economic to operate than the bucketwheel reclaimers and draglines they have
replaced at oilsands mines.
Upgrading
The process of converting heavy oil or
bitumen into synthetic crude, either through
the removal of carbon (coking) or the
addition of hydrogen (hydroconversion).
