heavy crude oil

Canadian Natural’s heavy crude oil production is focused on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. We benefit from an extensive and dominant land position which allows for large scale drilling and development programs while minimizing capital cost requirements. Costs are further managed through owning and operating centralized treating and sand handling facilities, maximizing their utilization and achieving economies of scale. Primary production of heavy crude oil typically recovers between 5%-15% of OOIP.
