THE SURMONT PROJECT
Oil Sands Exploration and Development
Scope
Focus has been involved in ConocoPhillips' Surmont Oil Sands Exploration and Development Project since 2001. The scope of the project involves working for both the drilling and engineering departments on this large scale project.
Phase 1 of the Surmont Project includes a network of exploratory core holes. Focus is responsible for compiling an Oil Sands Exploration map, scouting, staking and surveying core holes, and plan preparation for network core holes located over six townships on an annual basis.
The client constructs and drills a specific number of core holes every year to assist in their short and long term planning for a Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) Oilsands Project. |
