June 20, 2011(Pink Sheets APXR.PK) Announces The Building of the Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline Could Be Announced This Summer
At the two-day Inuvik Petroleum Show in June 2011, former Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clark keynote closing speaker, was extremely positive about building the Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline. Joe Clark said that various factors – including political ones – seem to be lining up in the pipeline’s favour. "You have an NEB (National Energy Board) report, you have a remarkable consensus here. You have a majority government in Ottawa that is certainly not hostile to the idea of the pipeline. I think what you have to do is take advantage of this time," Clark said in the event's closing keynote speech.
Delegates to the Inuvik Petroleum Show heard from the Aboriginal Pipeline Group and other companies behind the $16.2-billion Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Arctic Gas Pipeline project, which won approval from the (NEB) National Energy Board in December. The NEB's approval for the project comes with 264 strict conditions to ensure environmental protection and pipeline safety. Exxon Mobil told delegates they have reviewed the conditions and feel that they can meet all of them.
The federal regulatory agency has given proponents until the end of 2013 to decide if they want to build the pipeline. But during a panel discussion at the northern trade show, Aboriginal Pipeline Group president Bob Reid said an announcement could come sooner. "I hope that over the summer months, we'll be able to carry through and finalize our negotiations with the federal government," Reid said, referring to the proponents' bid to secure loan guarantees or other investments from Ottawa. "We hope to have an announcement sometime during the summer to make this project a reality," Reid added.
The Aboriginal Pipeline Group is part of a corporate consortium, led by Calgary-based Imperial Oil, which is spearheading the Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline project. Other partners include Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips and Royal Dutch Shell.
The 1,200-kilometre Mackenzie Valley pipeline would transport natural gas from the Beaufort Sea through the N.W.T.'s Mackenzie River Valley to a hub in northwestern Alberta, where it would connect with southern markets. Government officials are expected to meet with pipeline proponents in September. If the project goes ahead, construction would take four winters.
