Enbridge Inc. is proceeding with the construction of the Woodland Pipeline Extension Project. The project will extend the Woodland Pipeline south from Enbridge's Cheecham Terminal to its Edmonton Terminal to connect up with refineries and export pipelines in the Edmonton area. The project has an estimated cost of $1.3 billion, of which 50% is Enbridge's capital contribution, and a planned in service date in the third quarter of 2015.

The Woodland Pipeline Extension is being constructed to serve the Imperial Oil and ExxonMobil Kearl oil sands project and its recently announced expansion. Enbridge brought into service the Woodland Pipeline between the Kearl oil sands project and the Enbridge Cheecham terminal in the fall of 2012.

The 385-kilometre (228-mile), 36-inch (914-mm) Woodland Pipeline Extension will have an initial capacity of 400,000 barrels per day (bpd), with the ability to be expanded to approximately 800,000 bpd dependent upon crude viscosity.
