North American Terminal Operations
Our Operations

Our North American Terminal Operations (NATO) reflects our ability to pursue creative growth opportunities. Recognizing its strategic location, we transformed the site of our former sodium chlorate plant at Bruderheim, Alberta into a storage and transloading facility to efficiently service the vast oil & gas and oil sands sectors in Alberta.

While still in its infancy, NATO holds tremendous potential. The two 800,000-barrel caverns on the site are expected to be suitable for storing diluents, diluted bitumen and other hydrocarbons. Demand for C5+ diluent alone is expected to almost double by 2015.

We also currently use the site for transloading caustic soda and hydrochloric acid from our North Vancouver facility for use in both the oil & gas and oil sands sectors and the pulp sector in Alberta.

Demand for C5+ diluent is expected to increase from 260,000 bbls/d today to 500,000 bbls/d by 2015.
