* Cold Lake operations is the largest and longest-running thermal in-situ heavy oil operation in the world.
* The leases at Cold Lake cover about 780 square kilometers of oil sands
* The development includes five steam generation and bitumen production plants, Dene, Leming, Maskwa, Mahihkan and Mahkeses
* Cold Lake bitumen is located more than 400 metres below the surface out of the ground
* It is extracted by injecting steam into the oil sands to thin the heavy bitumen and enable it to flow to the surface through wellbores. (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage SAGD)
* The latest investment, the Nabiye expansion, included the development of a new steam generation and bitumen-processing plant, field production pads and associated facilities
* Oil is transported on the [[Cold Lake Pipeline System]] to Edmonton & Hardisty. Some of the oil is refined in [[Imperial Oil Strathcona Edmonton Refinery]]
