The refinery expects to utilize carbon capture technology and won’t rely on natural gas, a major step towards sustainable oil sands development. Under the contract, Jacobs provides owner’s engineer services to support the development of the refinery from the remaining critical phases of project development through to sustaining operations.
The integrated team, comprised of individuals from both North West Redwater and Jacobs, is responsible for leading the project development and the coordination of overall project delivery organization.
