TransCanada To Begin Line Fill For Keystone This Quarter

摘要

Work is essentially complete on TransCanada Corporation's 490,000 bbl per day Keystone crude oil pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta to Wood River/Patoka, Illinois.Line fill for the 4 744 kilometre pipeline will begin in this quarter and is expected to take about 90 days with an anticipated startup date in the first quarter of 2010, Paul Miller, Keystone Pipelines vice-president responsible for commercial operations and market development, said in an interview. To access crude oil to fill the 435,000 bbl per day pipeline, the company will call for nominations from producers for line fill, following the same procedure as it will once the line is in operation.
