Imperial Oil Ltd. has announced plans to expand its stake in Alberta’s oilsands through the Nabiye Project at a cost of $2 billion, which will create around 1,000 jobs and produce an extra 40,000 barrels of oil per day, according to company spokesman Pius Rolheiser.
Nabiye, which is a Dene word meaning “otter,” is located at Imperial’s Cold Lake operation and received regulatory approval in 2004, but was put aside only to be reinitiated in 2008.
