TransCanada seeks USGC expansion as Energy East hits roadblock

摘要

While its proposed 800K-b/d Keystone XL line was not approved-and TransCanada Corp. has filed a lawsuit against the US government over the rejection of the line under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) seeking $15B in damages-the company is still interested in expanding its presence on the US Gulf Coast (USGC). Paul Miller, president of liquids pipeline for TransCanada, said in an interview 'Today we probably move 300K b/d plus of crude oil from Canada to the US Gulf Coast, and we represent about a third of that. As we see the connection of our system going to these additional markets in the US Gulf Coast we would look to increase both our share as well as the absolute volume.'
