“We should be filled by the middle of June or towards the end of June and ready for full start-up,” he said.
This part of the operation is Keystone’s first stage. It will run from Alberta to the refining hubs of Wood River and Patoka, Illinois, carrying 435,000bpd, according to Reuters.
Keystone will later be extended to Cushing, Oklahoma, and expanded to carry 540,000bpd by 2011.
The CEO expects the pipeline to be fully operational by 2011.
