Saskatchewan town welcomes news of Dominion Energy’s plan to build refinery

STOUGHTON, Sask. – Dominion Energy Processing Group has announced plans to build a 40,000 barrel a day refinery complex in southeast Saskatchewan.

The company, a subsidiary of U.S.-based Quantum Energy, says the refinery will be built near the town of Stoughton and the Bakken oil formation.

Stoughton Mayor Bill Knous says it’s good news.

Knous says the refinery would provide an economic boom at a time when the oil industry is in a slowdown.

Quantum Energy also wants to build a refinery complex in the U.S. in the Bakken oil field.
