Froth Treatment Plant
CNRL
Fort McMurray, AB, Canada

In August 2006, Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) contracted Lauren as the General Contractor to construct a Froth Treatment Plant at the Horizon Oil Sands Project in Ft. McMurray, Alberta, Canada.  Scope of Lauren’s work includes inclined plate separators, forth area, cyclone area, main pipe racks, Naphtha Recovery Unit and Vapor Recovery Unit, electrical substation, and dump pond area for the Froth Treatment Unit.  Lauren employs an average of 275 workers on-site. 

This project represents a small portion of the CNRL Horizon Oil Sands Project.  The entire CNRL project (valued at $7.5 Billion) is focused on developing the available bitumen reserves that are recognized in the oil sands by installing facilities to mine the oil sands, extract the bitumen, and upgrade the bitumen to generate synthetic crude oil to be sold as a product.
