South Bow (SOBO.TO) secured 20-year binding commitments during its open season for firm transportation service from Hardisty, Alberta, to U.S. delivery points, the company said Friday.
The development represents a milestone for South Bow's Prairie Connector project and underscores the need for market access for Western Canadian crude oil, the company said.
The project includes the construction of about 380 kilometers of 36-inch pipeline and associated facilities, as well as the use of about 150 km of previously installed and preserved 36-inch pipeline and two pump stations.
The pipeline would extend from Hardisty to the Canada-U.S. border, where it would connect to Bridger Pipeline's downstream facilities.
South Bow aims to make a final investment decision for the project in mid-2027.
