MEG Energy says Canada's Trans Mountain to start line fill from April

Oil producer MEG Energy said on Friday that line fill on Canada's long-delayed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion would start from April. Line fill is the last step before the expanded Alberta-to-British Columbia pipeline begins service, providing additional access for Canadian oil to refineries on the U.S. West Coast and in Asia. The Canadian government-owned pipeline corporation has called for 2.1 million barrels in April and the same amount of oil in May, CEO Derek Evans said on a post-earnings conference call.
