Since 2007, Bantrel has provided engineering, procurement, and constructability support services for Husky (now Cenovus) Lloydminster Upgrader (LU) and Lloydminster Refinery. The project portfolio included the Downstream Sustaining Capital Program, focussed on increased production, plant reliability, environmental emission reduction and plant water quality and management.
Multidiscipline engineering phases executed through Scoping Study, DBM, FEED, Detailed Engineering, Construction Support, Project Controls and Procurement services.
Bantrel has executed over 1.2 billion manhours for engineering and procurement services for Cenovus Projects since 2007. Over this period, all of Bantrel’s work was executed without a lost time incident. Just over 20 years ago, HLU had a nameplate flow rate of 60,000 barrels per day (bpd). Today, it has a nameplate capacity of 540 m3/h (81,400 bpd).
