On Tuesday, the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project announced the authorization to resume operations in a wetland region close to Abbotsford, British Columbia. This permission followed the resolution of concerns addressed by the Canada Energy Regulator (CER).
Earlier in the month, the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) issued a directive to cease operations on an 800-meter section following the discovery of multiple environmental and safety-related violations by inspectors.
“Trans Mountain has received a notice to resume work from the Canada Energy Regulator… Trans Mountain corrected all non-compliances in the region and is conducting safety inspections of all active sites to prevent any re-occurrence.”
The decision to stop work was the most recent in a series of obstacles for the expansion project, which, upon completion, aims to triple the transportation of crude from Alberta to Canada’s Pacific Coast.
Trans Mountain has stated that the expanded pipeline will begin delivering crude in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government acquired the pipeline in 2018 to guarantee the advancement of its expansion. The projected cost of the project stands at C$30.9 billion ($22.54 billion), surpassing the initial estimate by more than four.
