Energy East
The Energy East pipeline is a proposed oil pipeline in Canada. It would deliver oil from Western Canada to Eastern Canada, from receipt points in Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries and port terminals in New Brunswick and possibly Quebec. The TransCanada Pipelines project would convert about 3,000 kilometres of natural gas pipeline, which currently carries natural gas from Alberta to the Ontario-Quebec border, to oil transportation. New pipeline, pump stations, and tank facilities would also be constructed. The 12 billion pipeline would be the longest in North America when complete.
The project was announced publicly on August 1, 2013, while the Keystone XL pipeline proposal was being debated. In October 2014, TransCanada Pipelines filed its formal project application with the National Energy Board. At the same time a number of groups, including Environmental Defence Canada, announced their intention to oppose the pipeline.
==Project description==
The entire length would be 4,600 kilometres with approximately 70 percent being existing pipeline (3,000 kilometres) that would be converted from natural gas to crude oil. Once completed, the pipeline would provide feedstock to refineries in Montreal, Quebec City as well as Saint John. The original project proposal included a marine oil export terminal in Cacouna, Quebec, but that configuration was abandoned due to the impact it would have on a beluga whale habitat. The project would have a capacity of 1.1 million barrels of crude oil per day.
Irving Oil announced plans to build a new $300-million terminal at its Canaport facility in Saint John to export the oil delivered from the pipeline and refined at its refinery.
