Happy Thursday!
By now you know we like to
follow-up on our previous blogs the Canadian Trans Mountain Pipeline we
blogged on back in January, February, and March 2024, is in the news
again. Trans Mountain Corp. who jumped
the hurdle of government approval, changes in pipeline size due to the terrain
as well as supply hang-ups has made the news again this time for something positive
even more positive than last month’s blog in which they were doing initial testing
of the pipeline. Check out our blog for
more details of previous hiccups on this important pipeline!
Did anyone
happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s Daily Update Newsletter on April
4, 2024, their article titled, “Trans Mountain expects commercial operation of
expanded pipeline system in May”? The
article speaks on Canada’s Trans Mountain Pipeline is anticipating the crude
will be flowing starting May 1, 2024, and they will be fulfilling their
contractual obligations later in May.
Canada’s Trans Mountain Corporation
has been through the ringer trying to complete this important pipeline which
seems to have been riddled with delays which included technical problems,
supply chain hang ups, and project cost overruns. The pullback pipe work they were doing on the
Mountain 3 HDD in British Columbia was completed at the end of March. They are awaiting final approvals from Canada
Energy Regulator (CER) and will continue to work on the pipeline until finished
in spite of it all they anticipate May 1, 2024, operations will commence,
and they will be at commercial capacity.
The pipeline at full capacity will be 890,000 b/d. They
will then finalize the project with cleanup as well as final improvements like
road and civil work. We hope the Trans
Mountain Pipeline will have speedy final approvals and they will meet their
timeline of the completion! If you would
