Welcome to Japan Canada Oil Sands Limited (JACOS)

About Us

Our corporate vision is to provide a cost effective, long term and stable hydrocarbon supply to world-wide markets as a leading in-situ oil sands producer.

As one of the companies in the forefront of SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) we operate the 10,000 barrels per day Hangingstone project, 50km south of Fort McMurray.

In addition to our current operations, JACOS holds the rights to leases covering approximately 46,000 ha in the Athabasca region for future development. These leases include the Hangingstone, Chard, Corner and Thornbury areas which are expected to contain approximately 2 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen resource.

With offices at Hangingstone and in Calgary, we offer a wide range of employment opportunities in a fulfilling and challenging work environment. Read more
