One month after a community ceremony broke ground for site preparations, the formal construction permit has been given to an international group led by Shell Canada Ltd. for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal on the northern Pacific coast of British Columbia (BC).

While activity slows in almost all the shale plays across North America, growth is reaching warp speed in Canada’s Montney tight sands formation, which looks to be developing into the western version of the Marcellus Shale.

An Asian plan to open an Atlantic Coast liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker terminal for U.S. and Canadian production advanced Wednesday, when the National Energy Board (NEB) granted the project a 25-year import/export license.

Liquids-rich sweet spots in the sprawling Montney Shale formation are feeding C$576 million ($415 million) in additions to Spectra Energy Transmission’s Westcoast natural gas collector grid in northeastern British Columbia (BC).

Replacing natural gas delivery capacity has grown into a C$2.1 billion (US$1.5 billion) parallel construction project to the proposed Energy East partial conversion of TransCanada Corp.’s Mainline into oil service.

Discovery of a western devil in the details of an eastern settlement on TransCanada Corp.’s proposed partial conversion of its natural gas Mainline to oil service has ignited a new protest.

While raising use of natural gas by phasing out coal-fired power stations, Canada’s chief supplier province is also singling out the cleaner fuel’s production practices for environmental action.

An aboriginal community has obtained approval to join the long lineup of projects competing to break into overseas markets for liquefied natural gas (LNG) from export terminals proposed on the northern Pacific Coast of British Columbia.

The next move to widen the natural gas freeway for imports into Canada from the United States began Tuesday when Spectra Energy’s Union Gas called for bids to increase traffic on its share of the route.
