Canada-U.S. Oil Pipeline Close to Reaching Commitment Requirement

The Alberta-to-Wyoming pipeline, proposed by Canadian ‌pipeline company South Bow Corp and its U.S. partner Bridger Pipeline, could increase Canada’s crude exports to the U.S. by more than 12 per cent if it goes ahead, bringing much-needed pipeline takeaway capacity to Canada. While the new proposal takes ​a different route through the U.S. than the canceled Keystone XL, South Bow’s portion would revive about 150 km (93 miles) on the Canadian side that has already been built and ​is sitting idle. That pipe would then connect to Bridger’s proposed pipeline in Montana and extend about 645 miles to Guernsey, Wyoming. Canada-U.S. oil pipeline close to reaching requirement
