TransCanada pushes ahead with $7B Keystone pipeline expansion
CALGARY - TransCanada Corp. is plowing ahead with a $7-billion US expansion of its Keystone pipeline project that will provide additional capacity to ship crude from Alberta`s oilsands to U.S. Gulf Coast refiners.
Canada`s largest pipeline company said in a statement Wednesday that its decision follows a successful round of negotiations in which producers in Alberta agreed to ship 300,000 barrels of oil a day for an average term of 18 years on the second major piece of Keystone, which will have a capacity to move 500,000 barrels of oil a day to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The line will follow a path from Hardisty, Alta., southeast to Nebraska, south to Cushing, Okla., and then on to refinery row on the Texas coast.
