The scope of work comprises approximately 1.3km of dual NPS 30 dilbit and diluent pipelines, fibre optic conduit and other appurtenant facilities south of Fort McMurray, Alberta. The project connects the Enbridge and Statoil Cheecham facilities and is scheduled for construction in July and August 2010.

Canada is a strategic focus area for Willbros and I am pleased that we have an opportunity to work for Statoil.”
