PIPELINE EXPANSION

Plains Midstream plans Alberta pipeline expansion

Jul 10, 2019 | 7:22 AM

CALGARY- Plains Midstream Canada is seeking approval to expand its Rangeland crude oil pipeline system through Alberta from Edmonton south to the U.S. border.

The company is proposing to double capacity to 100,000 bpd between Edmonton and Sundre and enlarging the system from Sundre south to the border from 20,000 bpd to 100,000 bpd.

Plains Midstream Canada was fined $1.3 million in 2014 after pleading guilty in two separate Alberta oil spills.

In June 2012, Plains Midstream’s Rangeland pipeline ruptured under the Red Deer River near Sundre and spilled nearly half a million litres of oil, closing the popular recreational attraction Gleniffer Lake for three weeks.

In April 2011, its Rainbow pipeline spilled 4.5 million litres of oil in northern Alberta.
