The equipment will be delivered to Shell Albian's operations at the Muskeg River mine during the fourth quarter of 2009. This additional equipment brings Albian's Caterpillar fleet to over 200 machines.
"We are pleased to build on our long-standing partnership with Albian Sands as they expand production," noted Dave Parker, president of Finning Canada. "As part of our mining growth strategy, Finning has developed capabilities to provide exceptional service and world-class equipment to our oil sands customers. We are encouraged by the ongoing activity in the Fort McMurray region."
The Muskeg River mine is part of the Athabasca Oil Sands project, a joint venture between Shell Canada (60%), Chevron Canada Ltd (20%) and Marathon Oil Sands L.P. (20%). The mine, which utilises conventional truck and shovel mining, has a design capacity of 155,000 barrels of bitumen per day.
