Background
In 2012, Enbridge constructed the 137 kilometer Woodland Oil Pipeline from Kearl Oil sands to its Cheecham terminal, which possessed a capacity of 200,000 barrels per day.[3]
Expansion Project
In 2013, Enbridge began construction of the Woodland Extension Pipeline from the Cheecham terminal to Edmonton, Alberta. The 385 kilometer extension measures 36-inches in diameter and would have an initial capacity of 400,000 barrels per day, with an ability to increase upwards to 800,000 bpd.[5] The pipeline extension project, which cost an estimated $1.3 billion, will effectively twin Enbridge's Waupisoo Pipeline. The new pipeline also consists of two new pumping stations, one at Roundhill station, and another at Cheecham terminal.[4]
Expansion Project Location
The expansion extended the pipeline from Enrbidge's Cheecham Terminal to Enbridge's Edmonton Terminal.
