Unconventional producers in northern British Columbia (BC) are facing premium pipeline tolls to connect their wells to TransCanada Corp.’s western supply collection grid, Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL).

TransCanada Corp. lost an appeal Friday to suspend a U.S. trial court injunction that halted continued construction of its proposed Keystone XL oil export pipeline last November.

TransCanada Corp. executives said they want to “carefully advance” more than C$20 billion of projects currently under development, and reported progress with several projects in North America, including natural gas and oil pipelines in the United States and Mexico.

TransCanada Corp. reported that shippers have cut long-term firm bookings for eastbound deliveries on its Mainline from Alberta and British Columbia to about 1 Bcf/d from 5 Bcf/d as competition from Appalachian natural gas has squeezed the system’s transportation contracts.

FERC has authorized partial service to begin on Columbia Gas Transmission LLC’s (TCO) Mountaineer XPress project, opening yet another path for nearly 1 Bcf/d to start flowing out of the Appalachian Basin.

Shareholders of TransCanada Corp. will vote this spring on a management proposal to change the company’s name to TC Energy.

As natural gas wells shut down offshore of Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canadian distributors, marketers and consumers are seeking speedy approval for replacement deliveries from Alberta and British Columbia (BC).

The Maryland Board of Public Works, a three-member panel that includes Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, defied state regulators and unanimously rejected awarding an easement for Columbia Gas Transmission LLC’s Eastern Panhandle Expansion Project.

Natural gas shippers have won a C$1.14 billion ($910 million) toll cut on TransCanada Corp.’s cross-country Mainline after a 10-month dispute over pipeline finance before the National Energy Board (NEB).
