FACTBOX-Proposed Canadian crude oil pipeline projects HOUSTON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - A series of new Canadian crude oil export pipeline projects could help the world's fourth-largest oil producer meet global demand and come closer to achieving Prime Minister Mark Carney's "energy superpower" ambition.
At least six different pipeline projects are underway or proposed, which together could increase the country's export pipeline capacity by 2.25 million barrels per day by 2035 and ultimately boost Canada's oil exports, according to a Reuters calculation.
Below is a list:
Current and proposed Canadian oil export pipeline projects | |||
Project name | Volume in barrels per day | Project status | Target in-service date |
Enbridge Mainline Phase One Optimization | 150,000 | Approved | 2027 |
Trans Mountain drag reducing agent | 90,000 | Approved | 2027 |
Enbridge Mainline Optimization Phase Two | 250,000 | Proposed | Unknown |
Trans Mountain Mainline optimization | 210,000 | Proposed | 2028 |
South Bow/Bridger Prairie Connector | 550,000 | Proposed | 2028 |
