Natural Gas Movement to the West
0.25 bcf per day of natural gas moves from AB into BC
Proposed: Pacific Trails (to Kitimat LNG) Capacity = 1 bcf per day
Prince Rupert Gas Transmission: capacity=n/a (Petronas, TransCanada)
LNG export projects:
1. Kitimat LNG (Apache/Chevron) (0.7 to 1.4 Bcf/d)
2. LNG Canada (Shell/Mistubishi, KOGAS/CNPC) (1.8 to 3.6 Bcf/d)
3. Douglas Channel LNG (LNG Partners,) (0.125 Bcf/d)
LNG export projects:
4. Pacific NW LNG (Petronas/Progress)(2 to 3.6 Bcf/d)
5. BG (BG/Spectra)(4.0) Bcf/d
Proposed: $4 billion Coastal Gaslink (TransCanada)Capacity = 1.7Bcf/day
