Kearl oil sands videos

The Kearl oil sands project is the largest capital investment in Imperial’s history. Kearl has an initial production of 110,000 bpd and a capacity of 345,000 bpd. The project remains on schedule for start-up in late 2012.

Kearl will be developed as a long-life, world-class resource. In developing Kearl, Imperial Oil’s focus is to ensure a safe work culture where nobody gets hurt and to develop the project responsibly to protect tomorrow, today.
