TransCanada files for
Upland Pipeline permit
TransCanada Corp. is asking the US
government to permit its Upland
Pipeline project.
The company filed an application
with the US State Department to
receive a presidential permit that will
let it construct a 200 mile pipeline
across the US-Canadian border.
The proposed CAN$600 million
Upland Pipeline Project is designed to
transport up to 300 000 bpd of North
Dakota crude to a connection in
Saskatchewan. From there,
approximately 70 000 bbls of that oil is
expected to flow on TransCanada’s
planned Energy East pipeline, which
aims to ship up to 1.1 million bpd of oil
nearly 3000 miles across Canada to
refineries and ports along the country’s
East Coast. The rest of the capacity
would feed other pipelines, although it
wasn’t immediately clear which ones.
“Upland is a gathering system that
will help move Williston Basin oil
production to markets where it is
needed,” said Mark Cooper, a
Spokesman for TransCanada. “A great
deal of this oil is already being
transported to market by rail. Upland
will allow us to transport that oil by
pipeline.”
DNV GL wins Statoil
contract
DNV GL has been awarded another
offshore pipelay surveillance contract
by Statoil to monitor quality
assurance throughout the installation
campaign.
As new fields have become
increasingly complex, the pipeline
segments have also experienced cost
challenges like other parts of the
industry.
DNV GL will complement Statoil’s
installation team of pipeline engineers
with multi-disciplined surveyors and
inspectors to follow-up the quality
aspects during welding and field joint
coating on-board the pipelaying vessel
throughout the installation campaign.
Both pipelines (Polarled and Edvard
Grieg Oil Pipeline) will be installed
using Dutch installation contractor
Allseas’ lay vessel
Solitaire
.
KMI receives FERC approval
Kinder Morgan, Inc. has received
approval from the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission regarding the
rates, terms and conditions of service
for the proposed Palmetto Pipeline.
KMI Products Pipelines President
Ron McClain said appoval allows them
to “advance the development of this
important infrastructure project
supporting distribution of domestically
produced petroleum products” and
brings the company “one step closer to
its goal of delivering low cost
additional supplies of refined
petroleum products and denatured fuel
ethanol to pipeline-constrained
markets in the southeastern US.”
The proposed pipeline will enable
refined petroleum products to be
transported from Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, Collins and Pascagoula,
Mississippi, and Belton, South Carolina,
to North Augusta, South Carolina,
Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville,
Florida.
The system will have a design
capacity of up to 167 000 bpd and will
consist of a segment of expansion
capacity.
