Our Energy Warehouse consists of more than the development and primary
production from our renewable and non-renewable resources. Newfoundland
and Labrador is strategically positioned on international shipping lanes, giving
us unique access to global petroleum markets. We currently have a 115,000
barrels of oil per day refinery and a second 300,000 barrels of oil per day
facility is proposed. We also have a three million barrel transshipment terminal
that services the offshore petroleum industry. To facilitate these primary and
secondary energy projects, and to increase our benefit from their development
and operation, we have the ability to complete large-scale fabrication projects
at a number of facilities throughout the province. These key assets, as well as
more detailed information on our renewable and non-renewable resources, are
shown in the following maps.
