The C$30.9 billion pipeline, which will ship an extra 590,000 barrels per day of oil sands crude to Canada's Pacific Coast, is meant to start operating in the first quarter of 2024 but is facing delays and extra costs due to a last-minute route dispute. Trans Mountain Corp (TMC) has asked the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) to change the approved route on a 1.3-kilometre (0.8 mile) section just south of Kamloops, British Columbia, as micro-tunneling construction required on the route is not feasible technically or economically. Trans Mountain's expansion has been dogged by years of delays and will cost more than quadruple its original budget.
