The 450-km dual pipeline system will transport diluent north to
the mine and diluted bitumen south to the upgrader. It
will also include a 43-km delivery system that will transport
supplemental feedstocks to the upgrader and synthetic products
from the upgrader to the pipeline terminals at Edmonton.
