Trump's Bridger Pipeline Expansion: A 550K Barrel Beast

Trumps Bridger Pipeline Expansion: A Massive Oil Haul from Canada to Export

The Trump administration has greenlit the Bridger Pipeline Expansion, a colossal new pipeline transporting oil from Canada to the U.S. border, then through Montana and Wyoming for export and refining. This pipeline could pump up to 550,000 barrels daily through a 3-foot-wide, 650-mile pipe. Unlike the previous administration, which axed the Keystone XL over climate concerns, this one is moving swiftly. The company aims to start construction next year after securing more environmental approvals, with most of the pipeline built along existing corridors and private land, avoiding Native reservations.

Trump praised his teams pipeline progress, contrasting it with the previous administrations reluctance to sign deals. Canadians, who invested over $1 billion in Keystone, are now looking to Bridger, a True Companies sub, to avoid similar issues. Environmental groups like Earthjustice and WildEarth Guardians are opposing the project due to spill risks, citing Bridgers history of crude dumps in Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota, including a 600,000-gallon spill into the Little Missouri River.

Bridger plans to use AI leak detection and bore thirty to forty feet under major rivers like the Yellowstone and Missouri to minimize accidents. The company aims to complete the project by late 2028 or early 2029, just before Trumps term ends on January 20, 2029.
