The application updates Grizzly’s 2012 filing with the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (OGJ Online, Dec. 18, 2012).
Grizzly seeks to produce as much as 12,000 b/d of bitumen from the Wabiskaw formation. The project would include as many as 48 steam-assisted gravity drainage well pairs from four surface pads and as many as 88 cyclic steam stimulation wells from eight surface pads, along with a central processing facility.
AER is reviewing the application along with environmental protection and water filings. Grizzly is planning to begin site work west of Fort McMurray in the fourth quarter.
