The Proposed Project

To meet growing demand for System pipeline starting at the Development of the proposed pipeline condensate, Pembina proposes to interconnection point near Summit is contingent upon receiving regulatory develop a new pipeline linking its Lake north to the Taylor, BC area. approvals. existing Western System pipeline at This reconfiguration would involve Summit Lake near Prince George, British the reversal of flow (currently flowing Condensate is a light petroleum liquid Columbia to , . products from Taylor to ) and used to dilute bitumen and heavy oil so About 100,000 barrels per day of installing new booster pump stations. it can be shipped through a pipeline to condensate would be transported on the domestic and export markets. With the proposed new pipeline and then along The proposed new pipeline from developments of the , demand sections of the existing pipeline network Kitimat to Summit Lake would be 40 for condensate exceeds current supply. to . cm (16") in diameter and 465 km long and would include the construction of Minor modifications would need to new pump stations. Pembina’s existing be made to existing pipelines from infrastructure in Alberta would also be Summit Lake to Edmonton including expanded to facilitate the transportation reconfiguring Pembina’s Western of the condensate Edmonton.
