Trans Mountain Corp says successfully removed pipe from final expansion section

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Trans Mountain Corp, the Canadian government-owned oil pipeline company, said on Wednesday it successfully removed a pipe from the final section of an expansion project that will nearly triple the flow of crude from Alberta to the Pacific Coast.

The expanded pipeline's anticipated in-service date continues to be in the second quarter of 2024, Trans Mountain added in a statement.
