Pipeline
The Keystone Pipeline is a 4,324 mile long crude oil pipeline system, stretching from Alberta, Canada to refineries near the Gulf of Mexico in the United States. The Keystone Pipeline System has two primary components: the Keystone Pipeline, which runs from Hardisty, Alberta to Wood River, Illinois, and the Gulf Coast Extension, running from Cushing, Oklahoma to Nederland, Texas.
The Keystone Pipeline contains 1263 miles of 36-inch diameter pipeline running from Hardisty, Alberta to Cushing Oklahoma, with an additional 283 miles of pipeline from Cushing to Wood River, Illinois. This portion of the Keystone Pipeline traverses across five provinces in Canada and four states in the United States. It carries crude oil from the oil sands of Alberta to the refineries in Illinois and beyond.
In addition to the pipeline, the Keystone Pipeline System includes nine pump stations, four storage tanks, two storage facilities, two terminals, and two border-crossings. The combined facilities have a capacity of up to 590,000 gallons of oil a day. The pipeline has the ability to produce up to 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
