As Keystone XL and Northern Gateway Pipelines Stall, Other Projects Ready to De-Bottleneck Cushing
SUGAR LAND--January 24, 2012--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--President Obama's denial last week of a permit for the Keystone XL crude oil pipeline is creating problems for some proposed crude-oil pipelines, and opportunities for others. The Keystone XL project shot down by the president would have run 1,700 miles from Hardisty, Alberta, to Cushing, Oklahoma, and on to refineries in Texas. Developed by TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP) (Calgary, Alberta), Keystone XL is a $7 billion project to transport up to 700,000 barrels per day (BBL/d) of oil sands crude oil to the U.S.
Another proposed crude-oil pipeline, Northern Gateway, would seem to be a logical beneficiary of the Obama administration's decision. That project, valued at approximately $5 billion, would stretch about 2,000 miles from the oil sands fields of Alberta to export terminals in British Columbia, where it would be shipped to Asian markets. But that proposed pipeline, being developed by Enbridge Incorporated (NYSE:ENB) (Calgary, Alberta), has run into the same kind of political and environmental opposition that stymied Keystone XL in the U.S.

U.S. Could See $125 Billion in Industrial Capital, Maintenance Projects Begin Construction in Second Quarter
 SUGAR LAND--February 10, 2012--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--One of the keys to economic recovery in the U.S. has been companies investing in this country. Jobs have been a hot topic in recent months, especially as this is an election year, and the gains seen recently are a direct result of continued investment by industrial and commercial companies. Spending has remained strong in the U.S., even when the economy was wavering, and from all indications it is only going to get better in the coming months. Industrial Info Resources is tracking almost 2,000 industrial capital or maintenance projects worth an estimated $125.6 billion that are scheduled to begin construction activities during the second quarter.
