Breaking the pipeline bottleneck

Breaking the pipeline bottleneck

Alberta’s oil and gas industry is in a bind. They need to get their product to new and existing markets but the country’s existing network of pipelines is already operating at full capacity and the development of proposed pipelines has been stalled by regulatory reviews in both Canada and the United States. It’s estimated that these transportation constraints are causing the country a loss of $20 billion to $30 billion a year in economic activity.

Last week, the Calgary Chamber hosted a panel discussion with three of Canada’s largest pipelines companies – Kinder Morgan, TransCanada and Enbridge – to discuss what can be done to break the pipeline bottleneck.

Find out what Canada’s largest pipeline companies had to say about getting Alberta’s oil and gas to market.

Canadians are concerned about our countries ability to build major energy infrastructure that directly impact Alberta’s energy economy. The federal government’s plan for responsible resource development is helping address this issue by promoting Canada’s natural resources abroad.

The Keystone XL pipeline is among the proposals at the forefront of the government’s list of priorities. America’s best friend is America’s best energy solution. That is why the Canadian government is working south of the border to promote the Canada-US energy relationship and our nation’s strong environmental record.

Join us as Joe Oliver, Canada’s minister of natural resources, highlights the government’s aggressive plans to help Canadian resources reach new markets.

Alberta is now in the process of revising its First Nations Consultation Policy, which sets the requirements for industry when working with an Aboriginal community to develop a natural resource project.

Over the last year, Alberta’s Minister of Aboriginal Relations Robin Campbell has been actively engaged with Aboriginal communities across the province visiting more than 30 First Nations and all eight Métis settlements. His focus has been on building relationships and working with First Nations and Metis communities to improve economic opportunities and seek feedback on the province’s revised consultation policy. Join us as Campbell provides a progress report on the province’s First Nations consultation policy.
