Northern Gateway pipeline project, Canada
Name and Location
Northern Gateway pipeline project, Canada.
Client
Endridge.
Project Description
The project involves the construction of a 1 177 km twin pipeline, from Northern Alberta’s oil sands, through Northern British Columbia to the deep-water port of Kitimat British Columbia, at the head of the Douglas Channel. The Kitimat marine terminal will include two ship berths and 19 tanks for oil and condensate. While docked at the terminal, tankers loading export oil will be surrounded by a containment boom. The forecast is for the terminal to have the capacity to serve about 220 ship calls a year. The westbound 36-inch-diameter pipeline will carry up to 525 000 bbl/d of oil.
Value
C$6.5-billion.
Duration
Not stated.
Latest Developments
The Canadian government conditionally approved the construction of the pipeline in June. The approval is subject to 209 conditions placed on the proposal by a regulatory review panel in December 2013.
While the federal government’s endorsement is the last major federal regulatory hurdle for a project first proposed a decade ago, the pipeline still faces opposition from environmental and aboriginal groups who have promised to delay its construction.
