CANADA’S PIPELINE CAPACITY VS. SUPPLY POLITICAL HURDLES By 2030, crude and diluent supply to Canada pipelines is expected to reach close to 5.5 million barrels per day. Kinder Morgan isn’t the only company that still has to surmount political hurdles. TransCanada still needs approval from 6 Nebraska’s Public Service Commission — due November — and Enbridge’s Line 3 is waiting on a regulatory decision from Minnesota’s 5.5 Public Utilities Commission expected in April 2018. The Nebraska decision isn’t much of a cause for concern, said John Auers with Turner, Mason and Co. The pipeline there 5 might be something of a “political hot potato,” but Auers said he thinks it’s less likely to stand in the way of the project than Minnesota or B.C. 4.5 “Certainly the wild card is, what if Minnesota puts the kibosh on Line 3?” Auers said. “If you lose that, then all the sudden you might need both (Keystone XL and Trans American4 City Business Journals - Not for commercial use Mountain).” Minnesota did manage to halt progress on Enbridge’s now-shelved Sandpiper pipeline MILLIONS) (IN DAY PER BARRELS project, but Line 3 ought to be politically 3.5 easier to pass, and Auers said he doesn’t think the project will run into political trouble there.

As a result, Trans Moun- tain remained fully committed under 15- and 20-year contracts, aside from 180,000 barrels of capacity set aside to handle spot volume. “Shipping contracts on the Trans Moun- tain expansion are binding,” Hounsel said. “We are only weeks away from the start of construction and we are confident that we will deliver the expansion for our cus- tomers and the market more broadly as planned.” A recent election in British Columbia left the government in control of an alli- ance of two political parties opposed to Trans Mountain. However, the project already has approval from the Canadi- an federal government, financial backing, shipper commitments and an affirmative final investment decision of $5.87 billion from Kinder Morgan. “Theoretically, the province shouldn’t be able to stop it, but you know how those things go,” said John Auers, an executive vice president with Turner, Mason and Co. “Politics can do all kinds of things.” The alliance between the Green Par- ty and New Democratic Party in B.C. has said that one of the stated terms of the pact is that the two parties will work together to halt Trans Mountain. Kinder Morgan, though, is still confident. “Pipelines take years to develop, years to build, and provide service for decades afterward. All of this is done in an environ- ment of changing markets, political envi- ronments and regulations,” Hounsel said. “The Trans Mountain Expansion Project began commercial discussions in 2011 and has overcome every challenge since then, going through the most comprehensive regulatory review in Canadian history.” Meanwhile, if Enbridge’s Line 3 is com- pleted successfully — something Auers said most in the industry think will happen — and Trans Mountain isn’t delayed by the B.C. government, Keystone XL could have trouble securing the 90 percent commit- ment rate TransCanada has said it wants for the project. TransCanada claimed a $2 bil- lion writedown on the project in the fourth quarter of 2015 after the U.S. declined the company’s request for a presidential per- mit that November. But Keystone XL still has a shot at cap- turing the shipping demand, despite the fact that it has a start date after those of its peers, Auers said. “If shippers think that the Trans Moun- 22 HOUSTON BUSINESS JOURNAL JULY 21-27, 2017
