CPF (Central Processing Facility), FF&I (Field Facilities & Infrastructures) & D&G (Distribution & Gathering System) - Phase I -A Project in heavy oil consisting in construction of a new 6, 675 m3/d (42 kbopd) Processing Facility per each Phase I and II to handle the fluids coming from the field (13 well pads -48 wells will be closely spaced on each well pad). An inter field pipeline system will transport steam to the wells and produce bitumen, water and natural gas that will be sent to CPF. The Central Processing Facilities (CPF) will separate bitumen from water and natural gas, which can then be re-used to produce steam. Diluted bitumen is expected to be exported to existing North American refineries. Cogeneration units (3 units) produce an annual average of up to 630 megawatts (MW) of electricity, of which about 500 MW is expected to be distributed to the northwest Alberta power grid.
