Canadian energy infrastructure group TransCanada has filed a formal application for the Energy East Pipeline Project with the National Energy Board of Canada (NEB). The Energy East Pipeline Project is a 1.1 mb/d crude oil pipeline project worth C$12bn (US$10.7bn). It involves converting approximately 3,000 km of existing natural gas pipe in the Canadian Mainline between the Alberta/Saskatchewan border to Cornwall, Ontario, and the remaining 1,600 km will be new construction mainly in Québec and New Brunswick. Associated facilities will include pumping stations in each province and four new oil storage terminals, one each in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Québec and New Brunswick. The terminals in Québec and New Brunswick will include facilities for marine tanker loading. Energy East is anticipated to be in service in early 2018 for deliveries in Québec and late 2018 for deliveries to New Brunswick.
