Enbridge eyes $2.5 billion pipeline deal for 2005
Last Updated Mon, 13 Dec 2004 08:20:52 EST

CALGARY - A Calgary company says it could have an oil pipeline built across northern British Columbia by the end of the decade.

Enbridge says says there is a lot of international interest in its Gateway project and it expects to reach preliminary supply deals with refineries in China sometime next year.

Enbridge says the best way to connect supply and demand is through an oil pipeline between northern Alberta and the B.C. north coast.

The company is proposing to build a 1,200-kilometre pipeline and a tanker facility at either Prince Rupert or Kitimat to ship the oil overseas.

Enbridge president Patrick Daniel says the Asians and the Americans are interested in tapping into Canada’s oil supply.

“We assume that 20 to 25 per cent will go into the California market, so that means 75 to 80 per cent will go into southeast Asia, primarily China.” There is also significant interest in Japan and in South Korea, he says.

Daniel says he hopes initial agreements will be signed between Enbridge, Chinese refiners and Canadian producers early next year, with formal contracts by mid-2005.

Daniel says he isn’t aware of any opposition to the pipeline from northern B.C. residents and he doesn’t expect any. He says people want to see economic development in the region.

Approval from the National Energy Board could be several years away.

If the company gets the go-ahead, it will spend $2.5 billion on the pipeline, which it hopes to have operating by 2009.

Deal signed for new Prince Rupert port facilities
WebPosted Dec 13 2004 12:42 PM PST

PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. - The Prince Rupert Port Authority has signed an agreement with a Calgary company to develop a terminal for liquefied natural gas. Under the agreement, WestPac Terminals has a 30-year lease and exclusive rights to develop the gas facility. The $200 million proposal involves construction of a storage tank and dock facilities. Rob Woronuk, president of WestPac Terminals, says Prince Rupert is the ideal location for a liquefied natural gas terminal, partly because of its proximity to gas producing nations. Most of the liquified natural gas imported to North America comes from Indonesia, Australia and the Middle East. “You have probably the best port in North America for such an operation and it allows us specifically to bring in very large LNG ships, which are still on the drawing board but not yet built. The Prince Rupert port can handle that kind of ship.” The proposed terminal is scheduled to open by 2009.

bling… bling?

The pipeline will extend on the north side of mounts Oldfield and Hays to reach Fairview Terminals. Wantage road will provide easy access for maintenance and repairs. The City of Prince Rupert will construct a fence on both sides of the pipeline to provide a safe buffer zone 40 meters wide. Access to the mountain will be reduced to authorized Port Authority staff, Enbridge staff and city staff.
