These units will provide utility steam for cogeneration at the mine in the Fort Hills oil sands project and are scheduled to be delivered by April 2010.
Fort Hills Energy is the owner of the project which includes the Fort Hills mine and the proposed Sturgeon Upgrader.
Brandon Bethards, president of Babcock & Wilcox’s (B&W’s) power generation group, said: We look forward to growing our relationship with Fort Hills and to increasing our role as a major supplier of steam-producing equipment in the Canadian oil sands. This contract demonstrates our ability to develop products to meet the specific challenges of the Alberta marketplace, including environmental requirements, construction resource supply, equipment performance and reliability.
