What is the capacity of the Keystone Pipeline?

The Keystone Pipeline has a nameplate capacity of 591 thousand barrels per day (Mb/d).

Understanding Keystone Pipeline's Capacity

While the pipeline's nameplate capacity represents its designed maximum flow, its available operational capacity can fluctuate due to various factors. For instance, in 2022, the actual available capacity demonstrated a range of throughputs:

This variation indicates that while 591 Mb/d is the designed baseline, the pipeline's real-world operational capacity can sometimes be lower or higher depending on operational conditions and market demand. Understanding both the nameplate and the available capacity provides a comprehensive view of the Keystone Pipeline's throughput capabilities.
