Calgary-based TransCanada intends to build a 1.05 million barrel receipt and delivery terminal (tank farm) in Moosomin as part of its Energy East pipeline project. Moosomin is a town in southern Saskatchewan about 225 kilometres east of Regina and 20 kilometres west of the Manitoba border.
The Canadian Press reports the pipeline would “move crude oil from collection points at Hardisty and Moosomin, Sask.” and that four “new storage tank terminals [would be built], one each in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and New Brunswick.” Alberta Oil Magazine has noted, “Energy East is designed to take Albertan crude oil from Hardisty, Alberta and Bakken crude from a yet-to-be-built terminal station in southeast Saskatchewan to refineries and export terminals in Montreal, Quebec City and Saint John, New Brunswick.”
