Long-Term Relationships

By providing a commitment to service and quality as well as effective and efficient engineering capabilities, Colt has become Canada's leader in establishing and managing long-term business relationships.

Our relationships with many of North America's most successful corporations – including Imperial Oil Limited (ExxonMobil), Syncrude Canada Ltd., Shell Canada Limited, Talisman Energy Inc., ConocoPhillips, EPCOR, Petro-Canada, and Suncor Energy – are indicative of the flexible, innovative and technology-driven performance that Colt provides to our many clients in the upstream and

downstream hydrocarbon and energy industries. Most of these relationships have been operating since the early 1990's.

For major project development, Colt has a proven track record, the necessary experience, corporate resources and financial strength to use a long-term partner approach. This method of project execution, in partnership with our clients and key stakeholders in the project (constructors, fabricators and key suppliers), can deliver very low capital and operating cost facilities in a challenging risk/reward environment.

Some Details

Colt became Shell Canada’s engineering partner in 1992.  Our mandate includes the provision of EPCM services at the Sarnia and Scotford refineries and styrene plant and the Sherwood Marketing Terminal.  To date, we have participated in over 500 projects.  Typically, our scope of work has commenced with scope-of-work definition and continued through to detailed engineering and construction management on numerous maintenance, capital and shutdown projects.

Since 1990, Colt has had a service agreement with Petro-Canada to provide engineering services for plant upgrades and modifications, on over 1,000 projects throughout the process units and utility systems at the Mississauga and

Edmonton refineries.  In Calgary, upstream projects are the work of an additional Colt team.

Colt has completed over 2,000 engineering and study projects for various divisions of Esso since our incorporation.  These jobs ranged in size, with several in excess of 100,000 man hours of engineering.  We currently have long-term relationships with Esso Resources and at Nanticoke refinery.

The CoSyn Joint Venture is our largest and most mature long-term relationship, with over 500 integrated CoSyn staff comprised of Colt and Syncrude personnel.
