TransCanada Corp. is asking the US government to permit its Upland Pipeline pipeline project.

The Calgary, Alberta鈥揵ased company filed an application with the US State Department last week to receive a presidential permit that will let it construct a 200 mile pipeline across the US-Canadian border.

The proposed CAN$600 million Upland Pipeline Project is designed to transport up to 300 000 bpd of North Dakota crude to a connection in Saskatchewan. From there, approximately 70 000 barrels of that oil is expected to flow on TransCanada鈥檚 planned Energy East pipeline, which aims to ship up to 1.1 million bpd of oil nearly 3000 miles across Canada to refineries and ports along the country鈥檚 East Coast.

The rest of the capacity would feed other pipelines, although it wasn鈥檛 immediately clear which ones.

TransCanada鈥檚 move this week indicates the company isn鈥檛 backing down on its oil-shipping plans despite being embroiled in a cross-border political battle over its Keystone project for nearly seven years.

"Upland is a gathering system that will help move Williston Basin oil production to markets where it is needed," said Mark Cooper, a Spokesman for TransCanada. "A great deal of this oil is already being transported to market by rail. Upland will allow us to transport that oil by pipeline."
