The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that a pipeline project jointly owned by the Nisga'a Nation and a Houston-based company is seeking indigenous equity partners as the B.C. government prepares to rule on the fate of the proposed route across Northern British Columbia. The Globe's Brent Jang writes that the provincial government is reviewing an environmental regulator's draft report in order to render the decision on the future of Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT), which would transport natural gas from northeast B.C. to the West Coast. PRGT is owned 50:50 by the Nisga'a and Western LNG. Plans call for a 750-kilometre pipeline to supply the future Ksi Lisims LNG facility. PRGT could cost between $10-billion and $12-billion to construct. The anticipated costs are sharply higher than previous estimates that were disclosed at $5-billion. The Shell PLC-led LNG Canada project is nearing construction completion in Kitimat, B.C., and will become the country's first LNG export terminal in a few weeks. Two other B.C. projects, Cedar LNG in Kitimat and Woodfibre LNG near Squamish, are also under construction. The contentious Coastal GasLink pipeline, operated by TC Energy, will supply natural gas to LNG Canada.
