Stream Description

Fort Hills is a joint shovel and truck mining operation between Suncor, Total, and Teck where paraffinic froth treatment (PFT) is utilized to produce marketable diluted bitumen. Fort Hills Dilbit is a heavy, high sulphur, low MCR stream shipped on the Wood Buffalo Pipeline to Enbridge's Cheecham Terminal and on to further markets.
