Welcome to the Saleski Site Tour

The spring of 2011 marks a major milestone for Laricina, as the company celebrated first oil production at our Saleski pilot. Steam injection was initiated in the later part of December 2010 and first oil production was achieved mid-March, 2011. Saleski is the world’s first Grosmont carbonate oil sands project that uses steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology, and the first SAGD project to produce bitumen from Alberta’s Grosmont Formation, Alberta’s second-largest In situ oil sands resource.

The Saleski Pilot will allow Laricina to better understand the geological framework and define SAGD performance characteristics in the Grosmont, as well as the impact of solvent injection on Bitumen productivity and resource recovery.

Join us on a virtual tour of this exciting project.
