TransCanada Pipelines is the largest Operator of Natural Gas pipelines in Canada. Its 25,600-mile network transports the bulk of Canada�s natural gas production. Important parts of the TransCanada network include the 13,900-mile, 10.6-Bcf/d Alberta System, the 120-mile, 0.9-Bcf/d British Columbia System, the 8,900-mile, 7.2-Bcf/d Canadian Mainline, and the 600-mile, 3.0-Bcf/d Foothills System.
A consortium of natural gas companies, led by Imperial Oil, plan to build the Mackenzie Valley natural gas Pipeline. The 760-mile, 1.2-Bcf/d pipeline would carry natural gas from inside the Arctic Circle to northern Alberta, where it would flow into the existing natural gas transportation system; there would also be a parallel pipeline to carry NGLs. Canada�s National Energy Board (NEB) scheduled a series of public hearings on the project for 2006, where it would consider the economic and environmental impacts of the project. If the project attains regulatory approval, construction of the system would likely last four years and cost some C$6 billion.
