This new contract is the final stage of the Firebag 3 well pads and gathering lines project which WorleyParsons commenced as an EPCM contract in 2006. At this time engineering is complete and Cord WorleyParsons is fabricating the associated modules under a separate contract.

Commenting on the award, John Grill, chief executive officer of WorleyParsons, remarked that “this new contract underscores the confidence Suncor Energy has in our construction capabilities in Alberta through Cord WorleyParsons and is a positive indicator of confidence returning to the oil sands energy sector”.
