TRANSPORTING MODULES

To reduce traffic on roads, rails is the primary transportation method

Modules have been designed to fit on rail cars – transported to the region by the existing rail line to
the DMI pulp mill site

Shell partnered with DMI to expand their existing rail facilities at their site to allow offloading of
modules

Modules will then be transported via highway 986 to site

Modules too large to be transported by rail will be trucked to site via two heavy load corridors as
designated by Alberta Transportation

East Route: coming from the east on 986 – suited for high wide/overweight loads

West Route: via highway 2 to highway 688 and travelling east on 986 – avoids the town of Peace River.

TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS PLAN

Shell’s transportation plans covers the safe movement of:

Vessels, modules & materials to the Carmon Creek site

Workers to/from the construction site

As is common in the construction of heavy oil projects, major parts of the project will be built at module fabrication
sites. Pre-built modules will be moved to the region by rail and truck.

Modules will be transported to the region primarily by rail by those highways designated by Alberta Transportation as
heavy load highways.

Non-local workers will be flown to the region via major hubs

All workers (local and non-local) will bussed to the site – no personal private vehicles will be allowed at the camp or
construction site.

MODULE TRANSPORTATION - SAFETY


Meet Alberta Transportation permit requirements which outlines measures
carriers must take to maximize safety on roads - permit requirements will vary
depending on the load and influences:

Speeds

Frequency of pullouts

Vehicle escorts required in certain cases

Only use Shell safety-approved carriers:

Rigorous vetting process (high standard of driver qualifications and
experience prior to being allowed to operate on behalf of Shell)

In-vehicle monitoring systems (monitor for speed, erratic driving etc.)
Carriers use well-established protocols (Alberta 511) to communicate movements
with impacted communities.

Additional safety measures - timing of moves (i.e. avoids peak bus/shift rotations
& school bus times)

BLUESKY LODGE

The BlueSky lodge is operated and serviced through a joint venture with ATCO and
Woodland Cree First Nation

The construction camp has been designed to be as self-sufficient as possible to
minimize strains/impacts on local infrastructure and to provide a safe, secure and
comfortable environment for non-local workers (onsite health clinic; fenced camp with
security; workers bussed daily to the worksite; recreational facilities; rooms have private
washrooms with showers, high speed internet, 32 inch -tv etc)

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

The project requires between 1600 to 2000 workers during peak construction periods
(2015/2016)

The number of full-time employees and contractors needed to operate both the Carmon
Creek and existing Cliffdale production facilities is estimated to be about 500 (250
employees; 250 contractors)

After Carmon Creek starts up the existing Peace River Complex will be
decommissioned and production integrated into the new Carmon Creek facilities
