ALBERTA - CANADIAN NATURAL RESOURCES (CNRL) of Calgary says that as of the end of September 2006, work was 47% complete on its Horizon oil sands project 70 km north of Fort McMurray. Capital spending has reached $3.26 billion, or 48% of the estimated $6.80 billion capital cost for Phase I development.
During the third quarter of 2006, CNRL said it awarded $400 million of contracts, bringing the contract total to $4.80 billion. Over 600 modules and oversized loads have reached the site, and more than half the modules have been installed. The major foundations have been completed; work has moved on to erecting steel, setting equipment and placing modules.
The Horizon project is to be commissioned during the third quarter of 2008.
