Amec swoops on oil sands specialist



By Upstream staff 

Engineering giant Amec has stumped up C$45 million (US$44.2 million) for specialist in-situ oil sands player Bower Damberger Rolseth Engineering (BDR).

Calgary-based BDR provides specialist technical engineering services to the heavy oil, gas and oil production industries.

The companies specialises in thermal recovery of in-situ oil via steam assisted gravity-drainage methods.

Of the initial payment, C$10 million is deferred over three years. Up to a further C$35 million is payable in five years' time, subject to the achievement of certain profit targets beyond a threshold

over that period. Completion of the deal is expected later this month.
