- Kinder Morgan's (NYSE:KMI) Trans Mountain pipeline expansion can be built in a way that satisfies environmental concerns, a group of Canada’s largest oil companies argued today before the National Energy Board.
- The lawyer acting for Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:CNQ), Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU), Imperial Oil (NYSE:IM), Cenovus Energy (NYSE:CVE) and others, said the NEB panel should weigh the benefits of the pipeline against both the risks of a potential spill as well as the risk-mitigation measures KMI has planned for the line.

BP Canada's legal counsel added that demand on the existing pipeline between Alberta and Burnaby, B.C., far outstrips supply capacity on “the only pipeline system transporting crude oil to the west coast.”
- The Trans Mountain expansion would add 590K bbl/day of pipeline capacity.
