The Wolf Lake oil sands project is a joint venture of BP Canada and Petro-Canada. The first phase of the project started up in April 1985, and the design capacity of 7000 barrels per day was achieved in the third quarter 1985. When the proposed expansion was announced, the size of Phase 2 had not been determined. BP Canada and Petro-Canada subsequently decided that Phase 2 of the Wolf Lake project will have a design production capacity of 2000 cubic meters per day (13,000 barrels per day) over its 25 year life. It will require 336 wells to be drilled initially, located on 21 satellites. On average, 32 additional wells will be drilled each year. The total number of wells to be drilled over the project's life will be 1072. A decision on whether to proceed with construction of Phase 2 will be made before the end of 1986.
