石油设备网讯 据Oil & Gas Journal网站4月18日休斯顿报道 加拿大政府决定将扩建艾伯塔省和不列颠哥伦比亚省之间的跨山原油和成品油管道推迟至6月18日。
联邦自然资源部长Amarjeet Sohi表示，政府需要更多时间来履行与原住民群体的协商承诺。
政府去年9月发布声明称加拿大国家能源委员会（NEB）重新考虑其对该项目的事先批准，因为该项目在不列颠哥伦比亚省遭到反对。
NEB在2月份报告了其新批准，但需具备156个条件（OGJ，2019年3月28日报道）。政府决定的最初截止日期是5月23日。
政府于2018年5月从金德摩根公司购买了现有的30万桶/天的跨山系统和59万桶/天的扩建项目（OGJ，2018年5月29日报道）。

Canada delays Trans Mountain decision
The Canadian government has delayed until June 18 its decision on the contested expansion of the Trans Mountain crude oil and products pipeline between Alberta and British Columbia.
Amarjeet Sohi, federal minister of natural resources, said the government needed more time to fulfill consultation commitments with indigenous groups.
The government ordered the National Energy Board last September to reconsider its prior approval of the project, which is opposed in British Columbia.
The NEB reported its new approval in February, subject to 156 conditions (OGJ Online, Mar. 28, 2019). The original deadline for the government’s decision was May 23.
The government bought the existing Trans Mountain system, which has capacity of 300,000 b/d, and the stymied 590,000-b/d expansion project from Kinder Morgan in May 2018 (OGJ Online, May 29, 2018).
