Future Growth Potential
The production potential of Syncrude’s Stage 3 expansion, which was completed in 2006, has yet to be fully realized and future plans call for further production growth. The Syncrude Emissions Project is projected to reduce SO2 emissions to 100 tonnes per day, a 60 percent decrease from pre Stage 3 average daily SO2 emissions, when completed.
Syncrude believes it has the potential to increase production to more than 500,000 barrels per day on a sustained basis for decades to come. Development of future expansion projects will be contingent on meeting strict economic, capital and operating cost criteria, as well as environmental performance criteria.
