Western Oil Sands announced its participation in a feasibility study of Expansion 2 of the AOSP. The feasibility study will evaluate Expansion 2 to increase production from the Jackpine Mine on the east area of Lease 13 and the extension of that mine to adjacent leases. The first phase of the Jackpine Mine is currently under construction as part of the first 100,000 barrel per day expansion. The Expansion 2 study will evaluate a bitumen mining, recovery and blending project expected to produce approximately 100,000 barrels per day of dry bitumen which will then be blended with other lighter hydrocarbon materials to produce a marketable bitumen blend product.
