.......At about 2:45 p.m. Friday, workers in Enbridge Pipeline’s Control Center detected a pressure drop in the pipeline. Control Center operators (in Edmonton, Alberta) shut down and immediately isolated the line, with a capacity of 317,600 barrels per day, and Enbridge emergency crews were promptly deployed to the site, according to a news release from Enbridge.
Officials moved one person from his home for his safety and comfort, said Lorraine Little, Enbridge spokeswoman........ - Winsconsin Rapid Tribune

As if Enbridge has had enough problems with oil spills, what next, yes, what next..... one would have to say that maybe its the competition to Enbridge who is just waiting in the wings to take over. But, can they do a better job than Enbridge....

Enbridge's current major expansion called “Southern Access” is a 42 inch liquid crude oil pipeline running 321 miles from Superior, WI to Delavan, WI in 2008 and continuing another 133 miles to Flanagan, IL in 2009. As part of the goal to achieve and maintain a high quality pipeline system, an automated batch pig system was required to remotely launch the batch pigs, operated from the Control Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada...........SNIP
If Enbridge's Control Centre continues to be located in Edmonton, and Kitimat the final destination, most land EAST of the Canadian Rocky Mountains is FLAT, whereas the land WEST of the Canadian Rockies is NOT flat. Its one thing for the Edmonton Control Centre to note a drop in OIL pressure, with a further "317,600 barrels of oil per day" chomping at the bit, for Eastward bound oil, but what of our position, that is British Columbia, whereby our terrain is far from Flat, and few highways.
Will Enbridge crews gain access to THEIR BC pipeline, if its broken, as easily as it is in the heavily populated, heavily riddled with highways of their eastern laid pipe lines? eh......
And come to think of it, if its WINTER conditions, well yes, if one waits until daylight Black on White will make it easy to spot, oil spill that is, runs downhill, but just how are Enbridge's response crews suppose to get to the line............
Yes, yes, yes, looking at a map, A paper map, is flat, so too is our computer monitors, looks easy to cross, but have these Enbridge guys, these politicians, these .....advisers to the politicians and oil companies,..... have they ever left their offices, put on gumboots and hip waders to go looking for oil on the loose?
BC is a province of, mudslides that have taken lives, as we speak. There are also, avalanches, rockslides, earthquakes, forest fires are deadly around dirty oil pipelines. BC has swift flooded rivers, that carry away homes and highways, also as we speak.
ReplyDeleteHow will Enbridge get to the pipe burst in BC's vast wilderness, in 15 feet of snow?? They won't, Enbridge hasn't cleaned up their last 804 spills.
Anyone who saw the mudslides in Johnson Landing & still thinks pipelines through B.C. is a good idea, is crazy. No other words for it.
ReplyDeleteNothing could have withstood the power of the mudslides. the second one, which was on t.v., was amazing. all that debris coming down the hill & right into the lake, creating a wave. Not on my province you don't.
There is no money on earth worth having the province awash in bitamen & chemicals. Not only are some places almost impossible to get to but even once they do they may not be able to go onto the land because it is so unstable.
