Southern Pacific Resource Corp is getting ready to open its first oil sands facility.

The company says its 440 million dollar STP-McKay phase 1 project is almost ready to go; its central processing facility will be commissioned tomorrow.

The 12 thousand barrel per day SAG-D facility is 45 kilometres northwest of Fort McMurray and should start production by September.

The project could eventually be expanded to 18 thousand b-p-d.
