Key Stats: • 1M Barrels/day target capacity • 3 Northern B.C. routes evaluated • 177B Proven Alberta reserves (bbls)
What This Means for Operators: Greater egress certainty = stronger upstream project economics. Operators who lock in surface equipment, storage, and production infrastructure now will be ahead of the build-out curve when shovels go in.
