@suncorenergy. It’s not every day you make an over 100-million-year-old find at work, but Suncor employee Jenna Plamondon can now say she has. While operating a hydraulic shovel at our Mildred Lake Mine, a contrast in the oil sand caught her eye. What she saw turned out to be Alberta’s oldest fossil remains of a marine reptile known as a plesiosaur.

Geologists at the mine and the Royal Tyrrell Museum were called in, and the fossil was plastered then transported to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alta.

Posted @withregram • @suncorenergy We’re using automation to increase the efficiency of our mine dispatch system.

Kriste McCann is one of the dispatchers at our Mildred Lake site benefitting from this technology. She says it has seen great success at the site and is helping to free up dispatchers’ time to focus on optimal routes for the mining trucks.

The innovative process is one of the ways we continue to harness technology to improve the reliability and productivity performance of our operations.

A huge thanks to all employees who participated in United Way Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo campaign this year which reached more than $2.141M in pledges. With the impact of the pandemic still being felt in our region, supporting our community is more important than ever. Once again employee's dedication of giving back shone through.

@suncorenergy becoming the operator of Syncrude means we're working together as one. To keep our Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo vibrant. To support what matters most to employees and our communities and neighbours. To work alongside our Indigenous partners building stronger relationships and creating opportunities.

And to continue to be an important economic force in Alberta and Canada.

We know we can be stronger together.

Meet Shane.

A Millwright with a keen eye for detail and a knack for collaborating with his team on the floor to optimize pump maintenance procedures. Last year, Shane and the rest of Syncrude’s Pump Reliability Excellence Program team worked together to improve pump performance and double pump lifespan.
