Happy Two-for-Tuesday! We hope the week has been going well.
Did anyone
happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s Daily Update Newsletter on January
19, 2024, their article titled, “Trans Mountain pipeline gets regulator’s
variance approval”? In the article, it goes
on speak about how Canada’s Energy Regulator (CER) finally approved a second
attempt at getting a variance request for segment 3 of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project which is 98% complete. Trans
Mountain Corp. submitted for approval changes for its pipeline for the diameter,
wall thickness, and coating of its pipe, as well as a request for using a horizontal
directional drill of a 1.4-mile section in Fraser Valley in British Columbia. The reasoning for the change was in the
original design the diameter, wall thickness and coating had a higher chance of
having problems with water infiltration which couldn’t be easily mitigated. With the pipeline project already being
expected to complete in a matter of weeks, this change will help
them meet the in-service date. The
pipeline is expected to almost triple capacity to 890, 000 b/d which will help
move more product to market. If you
