Aspen Early Civil Earthworks Project

Acden Lakeshore Contracting LP was selected as the preferred proponent for the Aspen Early Civil Earthworks Project. The Aspen Project (Aspen) is an in‐situ steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil sands project in Northern Alberta. The project, which is expected to produce about 75,000 barrels of bitumen per day, will include the first major commercial application of next‐generation oil sands recovery technology designed to lower greenhouse gas emissions intensity and water use.
