The Alberta government is terminating its involvement in the Keystone XL pipeline project, leaving the province on the hook for about $1.3 billion in costs.
The controversial bitumen pipeline was planned to cover 1,947 kilometres of land from Hardisty, Alberta, to Steele City, Nebraska, carrying 830,000 barrels of crude from western Canadian oil fields to Gulf Coast refineries per day.
The project was first proposed in 2008 as an extension of the existing Keystone Pipeline network. If it had been completed, the pipeline would have contributed approximately $2.4 billion to Canada’s GDP, plus an additional estimated $30 billion in tax and royalty revenues.
