    PUBLICATIONS SPP Briefing Paper Volume 11:18 June 2018 THE NORTH WEST REDWATER STURGEON REFINERY: WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS FOR ALBERTA’S INVESTMENT? Brian Livingston SUMMARY Since 2006, the government of Alberta has tried to increase the volume of raw bitumen upgraded and refined in the province. More specifically, the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission (APMC) and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNRL) have entered into agreements with a facility northeast of Edmonton called the North West Redwater (NWR) Sturgeon Refinery. The NWR Sturgeon Refinery is designed to process 79,000 barrels per day (bpd) of feedstock, consisting of 50,000 bpd of bitumen and 29,000 bpd of diluent (referred to as dilbit). The refinery will produce petroleum products consisting of approximately 40,000 bpd of low sulphur diesel, 28,000 bpd of diluent and 13,000 bpd of other lighter petroleum products. It will also be able to capture 1.2 million tonnes per year of carbon dioxide emitted from the refinery’s operations. This captured carbon dioxide will be compressed, put into a pipeline and then injected into an existing oil field in order to achieve increased production of crude oil (referred to as enhanced oil recovery or EOR). It is the first refinery built in Canada since 1984, and the first one in Canada to refine bitumen into petroleum products such as diesel fuel. It differs from the upgrader built in Lloydminster which only upgrades bitumen into synthetic crude oil that requires further refining at a conventional refinery in order to produce petroleum products. This paper gives a description of the structure of this support by APMC and CNRL using a mechanism whereby those two parties agree to enter into tolling agreements to process the diluted bitumen feedstock into refined petroleum products for sale.

  • From River Lots to Suburb: the Morris Family Farm and the Founding of Fulton Place
    From River Lots to Suburb: The Morris Family Farm and the Founding of Fulton Place Fulton Place Community League (Heritage Committee) 1 From River Lots to Suburb: The Morris Family Farm and the Founding of Fulton Place Preface: Edmonton’s Fulton Place community is typical of many North American residential neighborhoods built during the mid-1950s. From the outset the modestly priced and sized houses attracted young families. Over time, schools, places of worship, sports fields and recreational amenities, retail shops, seniors’ residences and green spaces were added. The population has ebbed and flowed as generations have come and gone, but the area continues to attract families – many staying for decades. Once considered suburban, Fulton Place and the adjacent neighborhoods of the Hardisty district are now referred to as mature. Given this description is applicable to hundreds of neighborhoods in towns and cities across Alberta, what secrets from the past could such a locale possibly harbour? As it turns out, more than one might think. For example, the oldest in-situ structure in Fulton Place is the former Morris family farmhouse believed to have been built during the First World War.1 Just prior to the war, the Morris family attempted to create a housing sub-division on their land. Had this venture succeeded, parts Edmonton’s Hardisty district, including Fulton Place, would be known by the names Ridgeway Park, Crescent View and College Heights. The following narrative traces the emergence of the Fulton Place neighborhood, beginning with the Dominion Land Survey of Edmonton Settlement in 1882-83. This document’s primary purpose is to provide context for several other components of the “River Lots to Suburb” arts and heritage project that includes oral histories, digitization and reproduction of a heritage mural, and photo-documentation of the Morris (Bishop) farmhouse.
