Imperial Oil reported on work at Cold Lake in Alberta in 2009. Imperial completed injection at 10 Cold Lake well pads with Liquid Addition to Steam to Enhance Recovery (LASER). This technology enables more resource to be recovered from mature wells, resulting in environmental and economic benefi ts. Production from these wells is ongoing. LASER is the result of over a decade of research and piloting. This technology entered its first phase of commercialization in 2009, and research continues to refine LASER for future phases of implementation. As well, planning and design work progressed at the Cold Lake Nabiye expansion that has the potential to add 30,000 barrels of production a day.
Imperial Oil reported that Lower production at Cold Lake in the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to scheduled maintenance at the Mahihkan plant and the cyclic nature of production at Cold Lake.
