Keystone XL May Be Approved in Six to Nine Months, CEO Says

TransCanada Corp. may be able to win approval of its Keystone XL pipeline in six to nine months as the company negotiates with Nebraska and U.S. officials over a new route, Chief Executive Officer Russ Girling said.

“We can re-route this pipeline quite easily,” Girling said at an investors conference in Toronto today. Canadian producers and U.S. refiners contracted to move crude through the Keystone XL remain committed to the project, he said.
