The Scotford Upgrader Project

The Scotford Upgrader project is located next to Shell Canada's Scotford Refinery near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada. The Scotford Upgrader uses hydrogen-addition technology to upgrade the high viscosity "extra-heavy" crude oil (called bitumen) from the Muskeg River Mine into a wide range of synthetic crude oils.
The Scotford Upgrader - which is part of the joint venture project between Shell Canada, Chevron Canada (a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation) and Marathon Oil Sands L.P. - is operated by Shell Canada.
