Business OverviewSuncor Energy Inc. pioneered the development of Canada’s oil sands using surface mining techniques. But of the estimated 300 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen (heavy oil) contained in the vast Athabasca deposits, only about 10 per cent is accessible through surface mining.In-situ technology gives Suncor an additional way to tap into the potential 11 billion barrels of oil on our Athabasca leases, adding to the growing production from our traditional mining operations. Our in-situ development activities support the long-term goal set out in Suncor’s growth strategy: to double our current production of petroleum products to reach a total of 500,000 to 550,000 barrels per day by 2010 to 2012.Firebag: Using a technique called Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), we are injecting steam into deep oil sands deposits through underground wells. The heat from the steam reduces the viscosity of the bitumen and allows it to flow to the surface, where it is sent via pipeline to be process at our oil sands plant.Our growth = significant career opportunity for youPosition Outline:Reporting to the Shift Supervisor, the Production Technician is accountable for the ongoing safe, reliable operation of the site operations facilities, along with optimizing production and controlling costs in an environmentally responsible manner.Key Accountabilities:As a Production Technician, you will be involved in monitoring operations processes in all areas of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) operation.
