A Pipeline by Another Name: Pacific Trail Pipeline LTD and Enbridge

You are right, the Oil and Gas Commission is under strict lock down. All files are being kept in Fort St John. However, as each of us explore the tidbits of info, a picture of is emerging. Verifying facts will take time and many FOI requests. My understanding is comes from some inside sources. There are 8 pipeline at the Morice River area planned, 2 for Enbridge and 2 for PTP and Apache, EnCana and EOG. Security and forest fires are a concern and thus the planned R/W could be up to 3 kilometers wide. This R/W is dubbed the "Energy Cooridor". There is a contract between PTP and Enbridge. In other words, Enbridge is also a part owner in PTP limited partnership. However, they were left out of the Google search announcement below for obvious reasons. Many first nations are beginning to check out the wording of an energy corridor approval and realize that Enbridge could piggy back their pipeline through this Energy Corridor. I can't reveal all I know at this time, however, both PTP and Enbridge have run into problems getting there Free, prior informed consent from the Wet'suwet'en territory. The Chief and Council (imposed by the Indian Act) who's jurisdiction does not extend past the reserve boundaries, were rumour for the gas project, in order that they would receive a sizeable chunk of the 514 million dollars. They fiqured that the money would go far to battle Enbridge pipeline. I can say that the R/W at Morice River has not been granted yet. There is an Investigated pipeline licence permit issued to PTP from the Crown, but these permits do not give you any rights like logging the R/W. It only give you the right of investigation. And Investigated Permits do not need the Free, Prior, Informed Consent from First Nations. Canfor was stopped at the recent blockade at Morice River last Tuesday and were turned back. The Blockade or Action Camp at Morice River had over 200 hard core environmentalists.

The PTP LP is developing the natural gas transmission pipeline system from Summit Lake to Kitimat, British Columbia to serve Kitimat LNG’s export facility near Kitimat, British Columbia. The Kitimat LNG facility is the only proposed LNG export facility on the west coast of North America with major environmental approvals in place. One of the facility’s competitive advantages is the ability to access the world class natural gas supplies in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The proximity to the large Asian LNG markets gives the Kitimat LNG facility a competitive advantage over liquefaction facilities in the Atlantic basin. The 463-kilometre Pacific Trail Pipelines project will provide the facility with a direct connection to the Spectra Energy Transmission pipeline system and excellent access to natural gas supplies in British Columbia and Alberta.
