Trans Mountain oil pipeline begins filling ahead of final construction challenges

Quick Glance: Trans Mountain Pipeline Initiates Oil Filling Before Final Construction Challenges
- Trans Mountain Corp has commenced filling its pipeline expansion with oil as construction of the long-delayed project nears completion. The pipeline expansion will face technical challenges in the next two weeks as it completes the last segment in British Columbia.
- The Canadian government-owned C$34 billion pipeline expansion is set to nearly triple the flow of crude from Alberta to Canada's Pacific Coast to 890,000 barrels per day. The pipeline, expected to be operational in the second quarter, is anticipated to boost Canadian crude prices amid increasing production by producers.
- Technical challenges involve stringing pipeline through hard rock in the final segment. Trans Mountain received approval from the Canada Energy Regulator to use smaller-diameter pipe on this segment.
- In addition to finishing construction, Trans Mountain is in dispute with shippers over tolls to be charged, a situation likely to be resolved by the regulator in early 2025. Suncor Energy reportedly sold one of the first cargoes to China's Sinochem Group.

Quick Glance: Earth Records Hottest February and Ninth Consecutive Record Month
- Earth just experienced its warmest February, marking a monthly record for the ninth consecutive time, as announced by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service on Wednesday.
- The relentless and exceptional global warmth, driven by human-caused warming and the El Niño climate pattern, has affected both land and ocean areas since June, raising concerns among scientists about the planet surpassing a critical climate threshold and the potential for an active Atlantic hurricane season.
- The month's average global air temperature of 13.5 degrees Celsius was 0.12 degrees warmer than the previous warmest February in 2016. The warmth of the past 12-month period is unprecedented in modern records, standing at 1.56 degrees warmer than preindustrial levels.
- The new temperature records emerged just a month after the planet's 12-month average temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels for the first time, leading scientists to worry about the increased likelihood of reaching tipping points with catastrophic consequences if the Earth's temperature remains near or above that threshold for extended periods.
