The State Department’s decision to spend more time considering a permit for TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline may boost the outlook for a competing pipeline planned by Enbridge, owners of the pipeline that burst in Calhoun County last year.
Over the summer Enbridge – the largest supplier of oil to the U.S. — announced plans to link existing and new pipelines into the “Monarch” line. The northern tier of the project would move tar sands crude and oil from the Bakken fields in North Dakota between the Chicago area and the oil storage hub in Cushing, Okla. The southern portion of the project involves a new line to move oil from Cushing to refineries around Houston.
By avoiding a new international crossing, this project could expand imports of tar sands crude without a State Dept. review. Enbridge says the project could be complete by the end of 2013.
