Energy East Pipeline Project A pipeline from West to East Called the Energy East Pipeline, the 4,400-kilometre pipeline will carry 1.1-million barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in Eastern Canada. Currently, the project has the following major components: Converting an existing natural gas pipeline to an oil transportation pipelin Constructing new pipelines in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Eastern Ontario, Québec and New Brunswick to link up with the converted pipe Constructing the associated facilities, pump stations and tank terminals required to move crude oil from Alberta to Québec and New Brunswick, including marine facilities that enable access to other markets by ship While the exact route will only be determined after public and regulatory review, the planned starting point is a new tank terminal in Hardisty, Alta. Three other new terminals will be built along the pipeline’s route: One in Saskatchewan, one in the Québec City area and another in the Saint John, N.B., area. The terminals in the Québec City and Saint John areas will include facilities for marine tanker loading. The project will also deliver oil to existing Québec refineries in Montréal, near Québec City and in Saint-John. New pipeline will be built in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Eastern Ontario, Québec and New Brunswick. The Energy East Pipeline Project involves three major components: pipeline conversion, the construction of new pipeline and the construction of new pipeline facilities. Energy East will make use of an existing natural gas pipeline and will convert the pipeline to oil service. New sections of pipe will also need to be constructed in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Eastern Ontario, Québec and New Brunswick to link up with the newly converted pipe. Lastly, associated facilities like pump stations, tank terminals and marine facilities will be constructed in order to successfully move the crude oil from Alberta to New Brunswick and beyond. While the exact pipeline route will only be determined after public and regulatory review, the planned starting point is a new tank terminal in Hardisty, Alberta. Three other new terminals will be built along the pipeline’s route: one in Saskatchewan, one in the Québec City area and another in the Saint John, New Brunswick area. The terminals in the Québec City and Saint John areas will include facilities for marine tanker loading. The project will also include delivery to existing Québec refineries in Montréal and near Québec City as well as the refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick. Learn more at EnergyEastPipeline
