Access Pipeline System is an operating pipeline system in Alberta, Canada.[1]
System details
The Access Pipeline System consists of two distinct pipeline networks. One transports diluent from Edmonton to the Wood Buffalo area, and the second transports comingled bitument and diluent or "blend" from Wood Buffalo to Edmonton for distribution. This system also includes the Sturgeon Terminal and the Stonefell Terminal tank farm.[1]
Access Dilbit Pipeline
The pipeline runs between the Christina Lake area of Northeastern Alberta, Canada and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[1] It carries dilbit (diluted bitumen), a diluted version of tar sands bitumen that allows it to flow through pipelines.
