Minimizing Forest Distrubances

Environmental management is at the core of ConocoPhillips Canada's project development, as illustrated through its work with the Surmont oil sands project, near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.

The company has partnered with Alberta-Pacific Forest Industries Inc. to share road access and plan timber harvest in project areas that require clearing. This process, called Integrated Landscape Management, helps reduce the environmental footprint on the land by coordinating resource development.
