Excelsior Energy hopes to excel in producing oil from the vast bitumen sand deposits of Western Canada. Excelsior Energy Limited has a working interest in two prospective oil sands leases: Hangingstone and West Surmont, in the Athabasca oil sands of Alberta. Excelsior Energy's business model is to produce oil in-place using on-site thermal units, rather than the traditional model of transporting oil sands to a central processing plant. By 2009 Excelsior Energy Limited had done significant exploration drilling and found that Hangingstone could recover bitumen on an experimental basis, producing a maximum of 1,000 barrels of bitumen per day. Excelsior Energy plans to begin commercial production in the Hangingstone Project in 2011.

They belong to Sinclair Oil's more than 2,600 service stations and convenience stores in 21 western and midwestern US states.
