Give up?
Answer: "transport of up to 830,000 barrels per day."
Hold that thought.
Oil and Gas Journal is reporting: TransCanada has decided to ship this oil to its ports and refineries in eastern Canada, bypassing the United State completely.
Data points:
- would convert TransCanada's Canadian Mainline natural gas pipeline to a crude oil pipeline
- from western Canada to delivery points in a) Montreal; b) Quebec City; and, Saint John, New Brunswick
- 3,000 km (1,800 miles) current pipeline; 1,400 km (840 miles) new pipeline
- Canada's eastern refineries imported 600,000 bopd in 2012
- new pipeline to enter service in 2017
Coincidence?
I think not.
The Calgary Herald provides much more background information:
- name of pipeline: Energy East Pipeline
- the link to St John, New Brunswick, is new pipeline (avoids the US activist environmentalists in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont)
- $5 to $6 billion
- this article also mentions Enbridge activities moving oil in the same direction
