The Scotford Upgrader uses hydrogen-addition technology to upgrade the high viscosity “extra heavy” crude oil (called bitumen) from the Muskeg River Mine into a wide range of synthetic crude oils. A significant portion of the output of the Scotford Upgrader is sold to the Scotford Refinery. Both light and heavy crudes are also sold to Shell’s Sarnia Refinery in Ontario. The balance of the synthetic crude is sold to the general Shell Scotford Upgrader marketplace. Expansion One increased production by 100,000 What is Upgrading? barrels per day. Upgrading is the process of breaking large hydrocarbon molecules (such as bitumen) into smaller ones by increasing the hydrogen to carbon ratio. These upgraded crude oils are suitable feedstocks for refineries, which will process them into refined products like gasoline. Scotford’s upgrading process adds hydrogen to the bitumen, breaking up the large hydrocarbon molecules - this process is called hydrogen-addition or hydrogen-conversion. The original Upgrader completed in 2003 had a capacity of 155,000 barrels per day (bpd). Shell Expansion One will add 100,000 bpd. This project will start production in 2011. Most of the construction was completed in 2010. Economic Impact • Construction jobs: Peaked in 2010 at 12,000 workers on site. This was the largest union construction project in Canada. • Permenant jobs: 300 permanent full time jobs and 100 full time contractors1 • Increase in tax base: Estimated between $14.0 million to $16.0 million2 per year in property taxes for Strathcona County. • Estimated Project Cost Strathcona Portion: $2.8 billion3 • Estimated additional jobs created 3600 (multiplier of 9)4 • Estimated Project spending (Metro Edmonton and Alberta): $1,390,565,0005 1 Source: Shell Canada Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) 2005 2 Source: Strathcona Taxation & Assessment 3 Source: Shell Canada EIA 2005 4 Source: Shell Canada and CAPP 5 Source: Shell Canada 1 Strathcona County Economic Development and Tourism 2011 EDA Awards Entry Shell Scotford Upgrader Expansion One Alex Metcalfe Award (Large Population 50,001) Role of Strathcona County Economic Development and Tourism Department Since the completion of Shell Scotford Upgrader in 2003, our department along with Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association has been working diligently to maintain our strong relationship with Shell Canada to retain and expand their projects located in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. These projects include Shell Refinery 100,000 bpd producing gasoline, low sulfur diesel, jet fuel and Shell Chemicals producing styrene monomer (used to manufacture plastics) and ethylene glycol (used for fleece jackets). Total employment for all plants is 1100 full time employees and 400 full time contractors. Business Partnerships, Programs and Activities 1.

This addendum provides the reasons for the Board’s decisions. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Application 990464 Shell Canada Limited (Shell) applied to the Board, pursuant to Section 9 of the Hydro and Electric Energy Act, for approval to construct and operate a 150 megawatt (MW) natural-gas- fired cogeneration plant on its approved Scotford Upgrader site. This site is adjacent to the Scotford Refinery in Strathcona County, about 14 km north of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. The cogeneration plant would include • a natural-gas-fired combustion gas turbine, which would generate 80 MW of electric power, • a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and • a steam turbine, which would generate about 70 MW of electric power. The applicant described the cogeneration process as follows: • Natural gas would be fired in the combustion turbine to generate about 80 MW of electricity. • Heat would be recovered from the hot combustion turbine exhaust gases in the HRSG, which would produce steam. • The steam would be delivered to the upgrader to help meet its steam requirements. • High-pressure HRSG steam and the excess high-pressure steam from the upgrader process units would be delivered to the steam turbine to produce an additional 70 MW of electricity. 1.2 Application 1051618 Shell also applied, pursuant to Part 4 of the Pipeline Act, for approval to construct and operate approximately 8.7 km of 762 mm outside diameter pipeline to transport hydrogen gas from the existing Dow Chemical Canada Inc.
