Narrows Lake
Follow the animated character of Harry, one of our drilling engineers, as he takes you through our plans for Narrows Lake.
Narrows Lake is located near Christina Lake and is expected to have a production capacity of 130,000 barrels per day, up to three phases and a project life of up to 40 years.
The project application is unique because it will allow us to use SAGD technology or proceed with the first ever commercial-scale solvent aided process (SAP). The resource we plan on developing is well below the surface, much deeper than sources of fresh water. Our future plans may include drilling deep below Christina Lake to access a small part of the reservoir - about 15 percent. It's an area that can be developed safely and responsibly.
Formal consultation on the project has begun with our stakeholders. Numerous meetings and open houses are planned with surrounding communities over the coming months to answer questions about Narrows Lake and an animation has been developed to educate stakeholders and staff about our project plans.

The need for oil isn't going away. The demand for energy in 2035 is projected to be 60 to 100% higher than it was in 2008. Oil today accounts for 35% of global energy supply — the largest share of any form of energy.* As conventional oil resources are depleted, the world will rely more on unconventional sources of oil such as the oil in the Athabasca region.
