Alberta to Propose 1 Million-Barrel-a-Day Pipeline Corridor to BC Coast by July 1

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 9

Summary

  • July 1 is Alberta’s target to submit a general corridor for a new 1 million-barrel-a-day oil pipeline to the federal Major Projects Office.
  • Prince Rupert is the planned destination area, but the province will propose only a broad path to northwest British Columbia rather than a fixed route.
  • Rajan Sawhney, Alberta’s Indigenous relations minister, said the exact alignment would be determined later through consultations with Indigenous communities.
  • The corridor approach keeps the project moving toward a West Coast export link while deferring the most contentious routing decisions to a later stage.
