Kinder Morgan expanding its Edmonton oil hub, again

EDMONTON – Less than a year after announcing an expansion to its Strathcona County tank storage capacity by 3.6 million barrels, U.S.-based Kinder Morgan Energy said its Kinder Morgan Canada Terminals division will add a further 1.2 million barrels of capacity to the site.

The firm said Wednesday it has entered into long-term contracts to support the construction of the additional 1.2 million barrels of merchant storage capacity at Trans Mountain pipeline’s Edmonton terminal.
