Noregian operator Statoil said today it has produced first oil from the Leismer Demonstration Project (LDP), near the Athabasca oil sands in northeast Alberta, in Canada.
LDP, approved to 10,000 barrels per day, is the first phase of the project, which is expected to ramp up to its rated capacity of 18,800 bpd within 24 months, pending final approval by Alberta Environment.
