Drilling successes in a British Columbia (BC) sweet spot of the most accessible northern shale gas deposit is propelling a new expansion project by TransCanada Corp.’s western pipeline network.

A tall new cost hurdle has popped up on the path of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from British Columbia (BC), in the form of a restrictive ruling Wednesday by Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) on pipeline tolls.

Natural gas production will rise by 4.3 Bcf/d, or 30%, to 18.4 Bcf/d as of 2025 from the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB), according to TransCanada Corp.’s pipeline network in Alberta and British Columbia (BC).

Producers have found a sweet spot, steeped in liquid byproducts, to sustain years of trials and adaptations of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing on Canada's gas and oil "Near Frontier" in northern British Columbia (BC), according to the country's top energy transporter.

Canadian West Coast terminal projects will overcome delays in securing customers and start exporting high volumes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Asia within six years, says the country’s top pipeline company.

Lingering risks of ruptures, explosions, fires and breakdowns haunt the western supply side of TransCanada Corp.’s natural gas delivery network 16 years after a corporate merger included taking over the aging system.

The cost of northwestern Canadian shale gas will drop to competitive levels as drilling intensifies from scattered field trials into concentrated commercial development, says the pipeline grid for British Columbia and Alberta.
