Report: Gulf Coast Pipeline Operations Delayed Until 2014

摘要

Based on observations during a flyover on Aug. 18, construction of the Keystone Gulf Coast Pipeline (KGCP) is slightly behind plan, according to Genscape, an energy intelligence provider. On Aug. 20, TransCanada said construction was more than 90 percent complete and that the pipe was expected to be in service by the end of this year. Genscape believes this estimate to be optimistic based on construction progress. Genscape now estimates the first quarter of 2014 to be a more realistic in-service date. The bulk of work remaining on the project is centered on the Cushing, Okla., pumping station and along the pipeline right of way.
