Alliance Pipeline completes Regina Bypass work, to restart tomorrow

CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - October 19, 2016) - Alliance Pipeline today announced its on-schedule completion of pipe replacement work to accommodate the Regina Bypass Project. The natural gas transporter also said commercial service would not resume today as planned, due to a delay in unrelated maintenance activities at the Aux Sable Liquid Products fractionation facility in Illinois.

Alliance originally expected to re-commence commercial operations at 8 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time Wednesday, October 19, 2016. The company now expects to re-start the pipeline at 8 a.m. October 20, 2016.

"It is common for connected facilities to undertake their own maintenance activities during a planned outage like Alliance's," said Dan Sutherland, Vice President, Commercial Operations at Alliance. "It is unfortunate that this delay has prevented us from resuming service today as planned, but Aux Sable is making use of the time to do work that would mitigate the need for a future outage -- which, of course, is positive for our customers."
