| Description | Hangingstone Expansion is a steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil sands project about 50 km southwest of Fort McMurray, adjacent to the Greenfire Hangingstone (demo) facility. Japan Canada Oil Sands Limited (JACOS) developed the expansion; Greenfire acquired JACOS's 75% working interest and operatorship in September 2021. It is separate from Athabasca Oil's Hangingstone project, tracked separately under ath_hangingstone.

| Status | Operating. The expansion proposal was for up to an additional 35,000 bbl/d of bitumen; the EIA was deemed complete in 2012. Source: Repository of the Athabasca River Basin, environmental assessment public notice for the JACOS Hangingstone expansion project, 2008 |
| Nameplate capacity | The expansion site has capacity for 35,000 bbl/d of bitumen. It achieved first oil on August 3, 2017 and was running at over 20,000 bbl/d of production at the time of the 2021 acquisition.

| Growth / expansions | Greenfire's standalone output (Hangingstone assets) was expected at about 14,500 bbl/d in 2026; combined with the Connacher Great Divide acquisition (expected 2026 standalone output about 19,500 bbl/d), management targets long-term combined productive capacity of about 65,000 bbl/d. Note: this is a combined portfolio target, not a project-level sanction or nameplate. Source: Greenfire Resources acquisition conference call transcript via Quartr, 2026-07-16 |

How to read Hangingstone Expansion (Greenfire): Seasonal baseline off a 17.9 kb/d trailing-12m baseline. No 2027 turnaround statements; single-month dips are seasonal factors repeating the last 3 years.
No maintenance events in the current model math for this project.
No forward-calendar entries for this project in annotations/maintenance_forward.yaml.
Named assumptions: Seasonal baseline off a 17.9 kb/d trailing-12m baseline. No 2027 turnaround statements; single-month dips are seasonal factors repeating the last 3 years.
Confirmation status: model forecast; maintenance impacts enter the math only from public-confirmed guidance.
In-situ bitumen has flexible disposition (dilbit to market or upgrader feed). In the model, Hangingstone Expansion output is unchanged by upgrader outages and any upgrader-bound share is assumed diverted to dilbit, so its 22.7 kb/d 12-month forecast average is a steady contributor to marketable dilbit across the tradable window.
Basis: model-derived from the dashboard series above; no external view is added.
No weekly edition to date mentions this asset by name.
