A leading manufacturer, distributor and marketer of refined petroleum products, Shell also produces natural gas, natural gas liquids and bitumen, and is Canada’s largest producer of sulphur. Shell is one of Canada’s major oil sands developers and operates the Athabasca Oil Sands Project on behalf of the joint venture partners (Shell 60%).The project consists of the Muskeg River and Jackpine mines, the Scotford Upgrader and Quest Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project.

12 Shell Canada Shell’s Shelburne deepwater exploration acreage offshore Nova Scotia consists of six Exploration Licences covering an area of 19,845 km² (~4.9 million acres/850 Gulf of Mexico OCS blocks) located approximately 250 kilometres south of Halifax in water depths ranging from 500 to 3,500 metres. The ELs were acquired in 2012/2013 for a commitment to spend $997 million conducting exploration activities over an initial six-year period. Pending regulatory approval, Shell is preparing to drill two exploration wells offshore Nova Scotia starting in the latter part of 2015. Shell is a 50% shareholder in LNG Canada, a joint venture company with PetroChina (20%), Korea Gas Corporation (15%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (15%), proposing to build an LNG export facility in Kitimat (BC), initially consisting of two LNG processing units (“trains”) ” and with an option to expand the project in the future to four trains (up to 24 mtpa).

13 Shell Canada Shell Canada operates two refineries in Canada: Scotford (built 1984, the latest in North America and the first to exclusively process synthetic crude from oil sands) and Sarnia (built 1952) and three chemical plants.
