WHAT’S NEW ?

CIMARRON was pleased to be a corporate sponsor for Enbridge’s Ride to Conquer Cancer. This two day, 200 km epic journey was supported by many and raised in excess of $7 million benefiting Alberta Cancer Foundation.

CIMARRON is pleased to announce that Mr. Mike Healy, P.Eng. will be joining CIMARRON effective May 25, 2010 in the role of Director, Pipeline Division, where he will be responsible for all facets of operation of our Pipeline Division. Mike will report to Andy Purves, Executive Vice President, Operations.

CIMARRON has joined an Enbridge led consortium to develop a CO2 slurry pipeline system from Fort McMurray to central Alberta. As proposed, liquefied CO2 would transport waste solids such as coke, sulphur and limestone in slurry form. Once separated the CO2 could be used for enhanced oil recovery and the waste products put to beneficial use.

Larry Lightfoot has been promoted to Vice President Business Development.  Larry’s promotion reflects the importance of business development to CIMARRON, and Larry’s contributions over the past 2+ years in his role as Manager, Business Development.  Larry initially joined CIMARRON in 2002, and led our Facilities Division for 5 years.
