Approximately 800 cubic metres (m3) (5,000 barrels) of heavy crude oil was released and collected in a low-lying area near the site. Approximately 600 m3 (3,800 barrels) of heavy crude oil was recovered. The Board determined that the rupture was caused by excessive narrow, axial, external corrosion located adjacent and running parallel to the longitudinal seam weld of the pipe, which was assisted by low-pH stress corrosion cracking and was not identified through the company's ongoing pipeline integrity program called the Susceptibility Investigation Action Plan.

  • Hydrological Extremes in the Canadian Prairies in the Last Decade Due to the ENSO Teleconnection—A Comparative Case Study Using WRF
    water Article Hydrological Extremes in the Canadian Prairies in the Last Decade due to the ENSO Teleconnection—A Comparative Case Study Using WRF Soumik Basu * , David J. Sauchyn and Muhammad Rehan Anis Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative, Regina, SK S4S 0A2, Canada; [email protected] (D.J.S.); [email protected] (M.R.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 8 September 2020; Accepted: 21 October 2020; Published: 23 October 2020 Abstract: In the Prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, agricultural production depends on winter and spring precipitation. There is large interannual variability related to the teleconnection between the regional hydroclimate and El Niño and La Niña in the Tropical Pacific. A modeling experiment was conducted to simulate climatic and hydrological parameters in the Canadian Prairie region during strong El Niño and La Niña events of the last decade in 2015–2016 and 2010–2011, respectively. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was employed to perform two sets of sensitivity experiments with a nested domain at 10 km resolution using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis (ERA) interim data as the lateral boundary forcing. Analysis of the hourly model output provides a detailed simulation of the drier winter, with less soil moisture in the following spring, during the 2015–2016 El Niño and a wet winter during the La Niña of 2010–2011. The high-resolution WRF simulation of these recent weather events agrees well with observations from weather stations and water gauges. Therefore, we were able to take advantage of the WRF model to simulate recent weather with high spatial and temporal resolution and thus study the changes in hydrometeorological parameters across the Prairie during the two extreme hydrological events of the last decade.

  • Enbridge Support Letter to the Illinois Commerce Commission
    Governor INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION OF NORTH DAKOTA John Hoeven Attorney General NORTH DAKOTA PIPELINE AUTHORITY Wayne Stenehjem Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson Apri122,2008 The Honorable Charles E. Box, Chairman Illinois Commerce Commission 160 N. LaSalle, Suite B-800 Chicago, IL 60601 RE: ICC Docket No. 07-0446 Enbridge Pipelines (Illinois) LLC Application for Certificate in Good Standing and other relief Dear Chairman Box: North Dakota's crude oil production is now approaching 140,000 barrels per day. There are over 60 drilling rigs currently operating in the state. This development activity continues to have positive economic impacts on our state and region. The Enbridge pipeline system is a major transporter of North Dakota-produced crude oil. Their North Dakota pipeline gathers a significant portion of our production and delivers it to Clearbrook, Minnesota. There it interconnects with other pipelines that deliver crude oil to refineries in the Midwest and South. Because the above-named project will have a direct affect on the amount of crude oil that can be shipped through Clearbrook, the North Dakota Industrial Commission, acting through it Pipeline Authority, supports Enbridge's efforts to increase the downstream capacity of its pipeline system. North Dakota has recently learned how inadequate regional pipeline capacity can become a matter of public necessity. Periods of inadequate export pipeline capacity in 2006 and 2007 led to significant crude oil price differentials in North Dakota. These price differentials reduced the income of North Dakota citizens who are royalty owners, tax revenues that support programs important to all of our citizens, and the income of North Dakota oil and gas producers by millions of dollars.

  • Diversification & Western Canada's Economic Future
    A SYNTHESIS REPORT OF THE FALL 2011 HONOURABLE JAMES A. RICHARDSON DISCOVERY ROUNDTABLES Who cares about baskets? We’ve got eggs! Diversification & Western Canada’s Economic Future FEBRUARY 2011 Michael Holden, Senior Economist About the James A. Richardson Discovery Roundtables Among the many civic contributions made by the Honourable James A. Richardson during his lifetime was his role as one of the four founders of the Canada West Foundation. In fact, it was a suggestion by Minister Richardson at the One Prairie Province Conference in 1970 that led to the creation of the Canada West Foundation as a registered charity on December 31, 1970. Launched in 2006 with the intention of being held on an annual basis, the purpose of the Honourable James A. Richardson Discovery Roundtables is to seek out new thinking to strengthen the voice of western Canadians. Informal but intense, the discussions are designed to engage a small group of individuals with a background in, and a passion for, the topic under discussion. The intent of the Roundtables is to look over the horizon and gain a sense of the policy challenges to come, and how the Canada West Foundation’s research agenda might be better positioned to address those challenges. The Honourable James A. Richardson Discovery Roundtables are made possible by the Richardson family’s contribution to the Canada West Foundation Founder’s Endowment Fund. The Canada West Foundation expresses its sincere appreciation for this generous support. This report is part of the Canada West Foundation’s ongoing Honourable James A. Richardson Discovery Roundtables. The report was prepared by Canada West Foundation Senior Economist Michael Holden.
