Project Name*:

CNRL’s Jackfish Brownfield Expansion is designed to add 30,000 bbl/d of bitumen output at an estimated cost of about $650–$750 million by debottlenecking and expanding existing infrastructure across the three Jackfish SAGD phases. The plan increases capacity by roughly 10,000 bbl/d at each phase, including associated steam generation and central processing facilities, and is structured on an approximately five‑year schedule. Incremental volumes are expected to ramp in over the final three years, at about 10,000 bbl/d per year, lifting total Jackfish nameplate capacity from roughly 120,000 to 150,000 bbl/d.
