The Keystone Pipeline is a crude oil pipeline system running from oil-producing regions of Alberta, Canada, south into the United States, delivering crude to refineries and storage hubs in the American Midwest and Gulf Coast. Built and expanded in stages beginning in the late 2000s, it became one of the most politically contested pieces of transport infrastructure in North America, particularly over a since-abandoned expansion segment, Keystone XL, that drew years of protest and shifting government decisions over its approval. The existing pipeline network continues to move large volumes of Canadian crude oil to American refining and export infrastructure.
