Pipelines, energy and natural resources

I reckon that if they can squeeze 1.3 mbpd through the 890,000 bpd TMX then they a similarly dimensioned pipeline engineered for 1 mbpd could also be uprated to 1.3 mbpd or better.

The game plan is to get Alberta to 8 mbpd of production. Currently setting around 4.1 to 4.4 mbpd. We were just under 4 in 2024.
TMX took us from 300,000 to 890,000 - 590,000 bpd increase or 15% on the 4 mbpd. 1.3 mbpd from 890 kbpd means 9%.

8 mbpd means 4 increases of 25%.

Or 4 new pipelines.

That's a mighty undertaking. If we can get 1.5-2.5m/day more out the door = pushing us to 6 and beyond, that should be considered a solid win.

Check my edited response. The money was on the table. And no taxpayer money needed.

Alberta also has/had the ability to more than 800,000 bpd by rail.

They could start shipping out of Rupert in days if the Government and the locals would get out of the way.
A few months of beefing up the rail to the Bay.
Or shipping out of Saint John within days/weeks.

I'm sure the owner's of the Hudson's Bay ail line would love to hear how it could be upgraded in "a few months", along with new petroleum bulk handling and storage facilities.

You still need a loading facility and the space to juggle railcars, something in short supply in Rupert.

Obviously someone who's never worked in the northern infrastructure line ...or for that matter any infrastructure.
