The proposed Kitimat LNG export development has planned initial capacity, from the first of two potential phases, of about 700 million cubic feet per day of natural gas.
The development includes construction of a new 36-inch diameter natural gas pipeline – Pacific Trail Pipelines – running 463 kms from the Spectra Energy natural gas transmission system at Summit Lake, British Columbia to the planned Kitimat LNG export facility.
Construction of the project is expected to begin in 2012, with exports potentially starting in 2015.
Apache Canada will retain a 40% stake in the project and is its operator, while EOG Resources Canada will hold a 30% interest.
