Dresser Masoneilan Supplying Athabasca Oil Sands Project

Dresser Masoneilan has been named the steam conditioning and turbine bypass system supplier for an unconventional oil mining and extraction project in the Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta, Canada.

The project is expected to begin producing 100,000 barrels of oil per day in late 2012. It has the potential to produce up to 345,000 barrels a day with future expansions, helping to offset declines in conventional oil production and meet North America’s energy demands for many years to come. Dresser Masoneilan will provide steam pressure reducing valves, desuperheaters and associated equipment required for the project’s steam conditioning and turbine bypass systems. The company will also supply operational service and support for the life of the mines. More…
