Profile Statements 
Nexen has an excellent asset base and big opportunities for employees.  What we do and how we do it means you get the chance to do more at Nexen.
 
Working for Nexen, the operator of Long Lake, is an opportunity to work for one of the top companies in Canada.  Nexen is a Canadian-based oil and gas company with international operations.  We're committed to working collaboratively, building our assets and finding new ways of developing our oil and gas resources - conventional and unconventional - through innovative adaptation of technology.  This leads to a sustainable outcome, creating value for all of our stakeholders.  At Nexen, it's not just what we do that makes us worldwide leaders - it's how we do it.
 
Long Lake is Canada's newest major oilsands development and the first to integrate in-situ Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technology with onsite upgrading on a large scale. With input capacity of 70,000 barrels per day of bitumen, Long Lake is the largest SAGD facility in the world. The facility also employs a unique and proprietary upgrading solution that results in production of a Premium Synthetic Crude (PSCTM) oil that is superior to any other produced from the Canadian oilsands - at a distinct cost advantage over other operations.
 
Long Lake is located approximately 40 km southeast of Fort McMurray, in the Athabasca oilsands of northeastern Alberta. The lease is estimated to hold approximately six billion barrels of bitumen. As operator, Nexen is currently focused on ramping up production to reach an output capacity of 60,000 barrels per day of PSCTM.
