An Alberta-based module fabrication company is expressing interest in the Sarnia area. Oak Point Energy was in attendance at a shipping conference in Sarnia Thursday. The company says operating in and shipping from southern Ontario would be less expensive than Alberta. Co-President & CEO Ken James tells Blackburn News the company would like to establish a 20-million dollar pilot facility in southern Ontario over the next year. Another 10 pilot plants would follow, after which the company would look at several full-scale builds, each worth around 150-million dollars.
Fabricated modules would be shipped to development and oil sands sites in Alberta and assembled there. James says each full-scale fabrication facility would employ some 15-hundred workers. The company hopes to start developing those by late 2013.
