About North West Redwater Partnership
The NWR Sturgeon Refinery is the world’s first bitumen refinery designed from the ground up with carbon capture and storage to produce the high-value fuel products needed to meet North America’s demand for energy. 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 ultra-low sulphur diesel, vacuum gas oil, diluent, and natural gas liquids.
