Montney Shale drilling in northeastern British Columbia (BC) would keep flowing liquid byproducts of natural gas even if the Canadian Liberal government hits its net-zero emissions targets, according to the developer of a C$350 million ($262 million) pipeline project.

“Canada’s natural gas production is expected to be increasingly weighted towards the B.C. Montney,” says a filing at the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) by Brookfield Infrastructure LP’s NEBC Connector.

The project, currently in CER approval hearings, would be about 133 miles of dual pipe for daily traffic of 57,000 bbl of condensate and 41,000 b/d of lighter natural gas liquids including propane, butane and pentane, collectively known as natural gas liquids (NGL) mix.
