據(jù)世界石油網(wǎng)站8月15日報道 一條連接加拿大油砂和美國市場的關(guān)鍵管道最早可能在下個月開始運輸原油。

　　Enbridge從阿爾伯塔省到威斯康星州的3號線輸油管道最快將于9月15日開始運營，這將緩解加拿大油砂生產(chǎn)商的壓力，因為他們無法獲得有限的出口管道。根據(jù)一份發(fā)給托運人的通知，新的760萬桶/日管道取代了容量較小的舊管線，距離完工只有30-60天。

　　加拿大油砂生產(chǎn)商多年來一直面臨著出口管道短缺的問題，因為建設(shè)新管道的項目面臨法院和監(jiān)管機構(gòu)越來越多的審查。美國總統(tǒng)拜登上任第一天就撤銷了TC 能源Keystone XL項目的許可證，該項目將有助于增加加拿大向美國墨西哥灣沿岸的原油運輸量。

　　一位發(fā)言人在電子郵件聲明中表示：“Enbridge已經(jīng)向加拿大能源監(jiān)管機構(gòu)和聯(lián)邦能源監(jiān)管委員會申請了3號線更換的通行費附加費，最早可能在9月15日生效，一旦所有必要的施工和調(diào)試活動完成，將在線路投入使用前不久提交進一步的文件，以指定具體的投入使用日期。”

　　NE2集團數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在早些時候價差縮小至每桶12.60美元后，加拿大西部重質(zhì)精選原油9月份交貨價格在卡爾加里時間下午2:48對基準(zhǔn)西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油的折扣保持不變，為每桶13美元。

　　這條管道將是近年來加拿大和美國之間建立的第一個新的跨境出口項目。該管道計劃投入運營，油砂產(chǎn)量將超過加拿大西部現(xiàn)有線路的產(chǎn)能，迫使一些公司通過鐵路運輸原油。

　　3號線項目遭到了一些環(huán)境和土著團體的強烈反對，他們在今年夏天沿著施工路線舉行了抗議活動。Enbridge花了數(shù)年的時間在法庭上和監(jiān)管方面進行斗爭，以建造這條線路。另一條在建的出口管道為不列顛哥倫比亞跨山擴建，計劃最早在2022年投入使用。

　　Enbridge股價周五在多倫多幾乎沒有變動，為49.06加元。

　　First new oil sands pipeline in years may start exports to U.S. next month

　　A key pipeline linking Canada’s oil sands to U.S. markets could start shipping crude as early as next month.

　　Enbridge Inc.’s Line 3 oil pipeline from Alberta to Wisconsin could start operating as soon as Sept. 15, bringing relief to Canadian oil sands producers who have had limited access to export pipelines. The new 760,0000 barrel-a-day conduit that replaces an older one with less capacity is as little as 30 to 60 days from completion, according to a notice sent to shippers.

　　Canada’s oil sands producers have struggled for years with a shortage of export pipelines as projects to build new ones face increasing scrutiny from courts and regulators. U.S. President Joe Biden, on his first day in office, rescinded a permit for TC Energy Corp.’s Keystone XL project that would have helped increase shipments of Canadian crude to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

　　“Enbridge has filed for toll surcharges on the Line 3 replacement with the Canada Energy Regulator and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which could be effective as early as Sept. 15,” a spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “There will be a further filing to specify the specific in-service date shortly before the line goes into service once all necessary construction and commissioning activities are complete.”

　　Heavy Western Canadian Select crude for September delivery was unchanged at a $13 a barrel discount to benchmark West Texas Intermediate at 2:48 p.m. Calgary time, after the spread earlier shrank to as narrow as $12.60 a barrel, NE2 Group data show.

　　The pipeline would be the first new cross-border export project built between Canada and the U.S. in years. The line is scheduled to enter service with oil sands production exceeding the capacity of existing lines out of Western Canada, forcing some companies to ship crude by rail.

　　The Line 3 project has been fiercely opposed by some environmental and indigenous groups, who have staged protests this summer along the construction route. Enbridge spent years in court fights and regulatory battles to get the line built. The Trans Mountain expansion, another export pipeline under construction is British Columbia, is scheduled to enter service as early as 2022.

　　Enbridge shares were little changed in Toronto on Friday, at C$49.06.
