Oil Logistics

WCP employs three main modes of transportation to move products to markets safely:

Pipeline

  • WCP transports and trades crude on pipelines and crude oil hubs across North America.
  • According to the Canadian Energy Regulator, crude oil pipelines transport 1.3 Billion barrels of oil per year at a safety rate of 99.999917%.

Rail

  • In order to mitigate transportation disruptions due to pipeline capacity constraints, WCP employs rail transportation to a diverse customer base across North America.
  • According to the Railway Association of Canada, the railway industry moves 99.999% of dangerous goods to their destinations without a release resulting from an accident.

Truck

  • Within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin WCP moves sales oil by truck transport to access pipeline infrastructure and to improve netbacks.
  • Further advantages are realized through infield hauling and commodity movements to optimize WCP's operated facilities and crude oil quality.
