The project will add another 40,000 bbl/day of heavy oil production. If all goes according to plan, first steam is expected in 2019 with first oil projected for 2020. Kirby North will use the SAGD process (Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage), much like its Kirby South operation. "Approximately $700 million of project capital has been invested to-date at Kirby North and the remaining project costs are targeted to be approximately $650 million, more than $100 million less than originally expected." 3.

Osum Oil Sands says it has found a way to increase production and improve efficiency at its Orion SAGD project without proceeding with a full project expansion. While the company has regulatory approval to expand capacity from the current 10,000 bbls/d to 20,000 bbls/d, the expansion has been put on hold.

Canadian Natural commenced steam injection at the Kirby South Phase 1 project in September 2013. Kirby South operations are located approximately 85 km northeast of Lac La Biche. This is the first project that we have undertaken in the Athabasca Oil Sands area and in the McMurray reservoir and uses Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD projects / in-situ / kirby notes: 1 kirby south @ 2013 • kirbby north @ q2/2019 2 40,000 bbl/day/phase • kirby north output curtailed until 2021 sources: cnrl • thermal in situ oil sands: kirby cnrl • kirby in situ oil sands expansion project: plain language summary cnrl • 2018 stewardship report to stakeholders Phase 1 of the Kirby North project will use Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage to produce bitumen at an average rate of 40,000 barrels per day. This is the first of two planned phases. The project was deferred due to low oil prices, after $700M in capital was invested. The project is restarting as of Nov 2016, with $650M remaining to be spent. * The proposed Kirby In Situ Oil Sands Expansion Project (“Kirby Expansion Project”) involves the expansion of two approved in situ oil sands projects: Kirby In Situ Oil Sands Project - ERCB Commercial Scheme Approval No. 11475 to develop and produce 45,000 bbl/d of bitumen (“Kirby South”).
