Souris Valley Pipeline Limited Emergency Management Plan
This document outlines the emergency management plan for Souris Valley Pipeline Limited’s 61 km CO2 pipeline, detailing response protocols, equipment, and public safety measures. It includes organizational roles, emergency contact lists, and technical specifications such as pipe dimensions and pressure ratings. The plan is designed to ensure public safety and coordinate emergency responses during pipeline incidents.
The pipeline transports pressurized CO2 from the U.S. border to the Weyburn oil field, with a maximum capacity of 2.6 million cubic meters per day. It is protected by cathodic systems, emergency shut-off valves, and SCADA monitoring. The document also includes maps, receptor locations, and mutual aid agreements for coordinated emergency response.
