What is the proposed route and purpose of the new pipeline project announced by South Bow and Bridger Pipeline?

The proposed pipeline project will run from Guernsey, Wyoming to Cushing, Oklahoma, and is intended to provide additional crude oil transportation capacity—specifically to connect Canadian crude exports to key U.S. refining hubs, as Guernsey itself is not an end market for crude oil and requires further infrastructure links to reach destinations like Cushing.

Why is the Guernsey-to-Cushing segment necessary in the context of South Bow and Bridger’s broader pipeline plans?

Because analysts have stated that Guernsey is not an end market for crude oil, the Guernsey-to-Cushing segment is necessary to transport oil to major refining hubs such as Cushing, Oklahoma—completing the logistical chain required to deliver Canadian crude to U.S. markets and enabling the broader Alberta-to-Guernsey pipeline to meaningfully increase Canada’s crude exports to the U.S. by more than 12%.
