Trump-approved pipeline could increase Canada-U.S. oil exports to 1M barrels per day, expert says
The project would carry up to 550,000 barrels a day and still needs additional state and federal approvals before construction can begin.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump approved the Bridger Pipeline Expansion, authorizing up to 550,000 barrels of crude daily from Saskatchewan through Montana and Wyoming.
- Trump framed the approval as a contrast to the previous administration; the 1,000-km pipeline is sometimes called "Keystone Light" due to similarities with the canceled Keystone XL project.
- Bridger Pipeline LLC plans to build 80% on private land and will utilize AI-based leak detection and bore 30 to 40 feet beneath rivers to mitigate accident risks.
- Company officials expect construction to begin in fall 2027 and finish by late 2028 or early 2029, potentially completing before President Trump's term ends Jan. 20, 2029.
- Environmental groups remain concerned about spill risks, with attorney Jenny Harbine of Earthjustice stating the danger is "inherent in all pipeline projects," citing True Company's documented spill history.
