Pacific Trails Pipeline
community body
The proposed project consists of a looping of the existing PNG pipeline between Kitimat and Summit Lake (near Prince George) to increase capacity and operate a bi-directional pipeline system. This project is directly tied to the proposed Kitimat LNG terminal.
Pacific Trail Pipelines, a 50/50 partnership between Galveston LNG Inc. and Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. (PNG), is developing the natural gas transmission pipeline system from Summit Lake to Kitimat, British Columbia to serve Kitimat LNG Inc.'s export terminal near Kitimat, B.C. Kitimat LNG Terminal is the only proposed LNG export terminal on the west coast of North America.
One of the Terminal’s competitive advantages is the ability to access the world class natural gas supplies in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The close proximity to the large Asian LNG markets gives the Kitimat LNG Terminal a competitive advantage over liquefaction terminals in the Atlantic basin. Pacific Trail Pipelines, a $1-billion, 463-kilometre pipeline, will provide the Terminal with a direct connection to the Spectra Energy Transmission pipeline system and excellent access to natural gas supplies in British Columbia and Alberta.
