Pennsylvania-based Keystone Clearwater Solutions LLC, a water management firm working in the Appalachian Basin, is again changing hands via an acquisition by SC Water LLC.

The long delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline has advanced an “important step” by winning approval from the Nebraska Supreme Court for its contested Canadian export route, said project sponsor TC Energy Corp.

Affiliates of Houston-based Plains All American Pipeline LP have launched open seasons for two projects that could increase crude shipping capacity from Canada and the Rockies to the Gulf Coast. The proposals are set against the backdrop of a faltering Keystone XL buildout.

TransCanada Corp. changed its name at its annual meeting in Calgary, but its hotly contested Keystone XL oil export pipeline project remains blocked by marathon regulatory and court cases in the United States.

President Trump on Friday granted a new presidential permit to a long-stalled segment of TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL (KXL) oil pipeline, opening a potential route for the remaining U.S. portion of the 1,200-mile project to move Canadian oilsands to the Gulf Coast.

TransCanada Corp. lost an appeal Friday to suspend a U.S. trial court injunction that halted continued construction of its proposed Keystone XL oil export pipeline last November.

TransCanada Corp. executives said they want to “carefully advance” more than C$20 billion of projects currently under development, and reported progress with several projects in North America, including natural gas and oil pipelines in the United States and Mexico.

Preliminary work that stops short of physical construction can continue on the hotly contested Keystone XL pipeline project while a court-ordered additional environmental assessment proceeds, Montana District Judge Brian Morris ruled on Thursday.

TransCanada Corp. on Thursday suffered another legal setback when Judge Brian Morris of the U.S. District Court for Montana ordered all work to stop on the Keystone XL pipeline, a growth enabler for the Alberta thermal oil sands production that is Canada’s largest industrial natural gas user.
