TC Declares Force Majeure on Keystone Shipments after Storm
NEW YORK/CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - TC Energy Corp has declared force majeure on shipments on its 590,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) Keystone oil pipeline after a snow storm hit Manitoba over the weekend, disrupting operations, the company confirmed.
Force majeure is a declaration that unforeseeable circumstances prevented a party from fulfilling a contract.
The storm knocked out power to about 3-4 pump stations in Manitoba, affecting pipeline flows, three sources said.
"Due to the recent storm in Manitoba over the weekend, we did declare force majeure as the province declared a state of emergency. We are currently operating at reduced flows," TC Energy spokesman Terry Cunha told Reuters in an email.
The Keystone pipeline system is a critical artery taking Canadian crude from northern Alberta to refineries in the U.S. Midwest.
Manitoba was struck by a major storm packing snow and toppling trees over the weekend.
It was not immediately clear the how much of volumes were affected by TC Energy's declaration of force majeure.
