AMEC to plan Syncrude expansions

AMEC, the international engineering and project management company, has been secured by Syncrude Canada to begin early project development for their Mildred Lake and Aurora oil sands operations

AMEC will begin immediately on the five-year, USD100 million contract to provide engineering design and project management services for new and existing facilities.

AMEC will develop plans for relocating and improving processing facilities as well as applying new technologies.

The project includes improving tailings management, bitumen recovery and energy efficiency.

"This award continues our valuable 12-year relationship with Syncrude in the Oil Sands," says Simon Naylor, President of the AMEC Natural Resources Americas business: "Our global experience managing major projects and our oil sands expertise will be harnessed to deliver predictable plans for Syncrude to expand their facilities".

In addition to engineering and project management for major oil sands facilities, AMEC provides the sector with environmental consulting, foundation systems, simulation modelling and technical operator training.

The company has been active in the oil sands since 1967 and plays a significant role in most of the major mineable oil sands projects in Canada.
