Overview |
TC Energy operates the Northern Courier Pipeline and has a 15% ownership position in the asset. The 90 km (56 mile) pipeline system transports bitumen and diluent between the Fort Hills mine site and Suncor Energy’s terminal located north of Fort McMurray, Alberta. The pipeline system is a critical piece of infrastructure to support the long-term plans for growth and transmission of increased production from the Alberta oil sands. The pipeline commenced transportation services in late November 2017.
Pushing boundaries to protect water
The Northern Courier Pipeline is a prime example of how TC Energy goes above and beyond to protect the environment and waterbodies. In 2016, the project was recognized for their impressive record-setting Athabasca River crossing in northern Alberta.
