Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced that the line fill for Canada’s Trans Mountain crude oil pipeline expansion will be finalized by the end of May, paving the way for the first waterborne exports from the expanded system in June. The project, aimed at nearly tripling the crude flow from Alberta to Canada’s Pacific Coast, has faced delays and cost overruns but is now nearing completion. The increased capacity will enhance access for Canadian oil to refineries in the U.S. West Coast and Asia.
