Rangeland Midstream Canada Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rangeland Energy III LLC, has placed its 85-km (52.8-mile) Marten Hills pipeline system in service. The system consists of new crude oil and condensate pipelines in the Marten Hills region of north central Alberta, terminating at an interconnect with Plains Midstream Canada’s Rainbow pipeline system, which serves the Edmonton, Alta., hub and refining market (see system map here).
Marten Hills is anchored by long-term transportation agreements with three of the region’s largest crude oil producers, which have made a combined minimum volume commitment representing 40% of the system’s capacity, Rangeland said. The agreements span a 450,000-acre area of mutual interest dedicated to the Marten Hills system.
Rangeland started building Marten Hills in October 2019 and put it into service just 1 week later than planned (OGJ Online, Oct. 16, 2019).
