| |  | | Cold Lake
Imperial's 100 percent owned and operated Cold Lake development is a premier oil sands asset and one of the largest thermal heavy oil recovery operations in the world. Imperial has pursued a phased development approach at Cold Lake, bringing on new volume as market conditions allow. Production from Cold Lake was piloted from the mid-1960's and commercial production began in 1985. Since then, 13 phases of commercial production have been started up at Cold Lake with almost 4,000 active wells on the site.

Kearl oil sands project
The Athabasca oil sands hold significant potential beyond the opportunities being pursued at Syncrude. Imperial Oil and ExxonMobil Canada , separate but affiliated companies, are advancing development work on an oil sands mining opportunity in the Kearl Lake area, about 70 kilometres north of Fort McMurray , Alberta . The companies’ design basis involves a phased development approach, with an initial development of about 100,000 barrels a day and later expansions to as much as 345,000 a day. Current plans do not include any on-site bitumen upgrading facilities for the first phase of development and the companies are evaluating a range of options including potential integration with North American refineries owned by Imperial and ExxonMobil.
