Canadian natural gas, particularly the reserves in British Columbia and Alberta, are abundant and have historically served the major demand market in the United States along with Canada’s own, smaller, domestic market.  With advances in shale gas production over the past two decades the American market is now self-supplying resulting in an under-priced and stranded gas asset in close proximity to Asian markets.  Years of focus on productivity and well-crafted regulatory streams make this amongst the cleanest natural gas in the world.

 

British Columbia has a multi-cultural population of approximately 5 million people and a skilled labour force in excess of 3 million.  It is Canada’s gateway to the Pacific and holds two major deep-water, ice-free ports with both road and rail access. 

 

British Columbia has over 2,900 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas from both tight and shale formations.  Such vast, competitively priced, resources in a stable political jurisdiction represent a real opportunity for downstream market participants.  With nearly two dozen private and publicly traded

 

The existing pipeline grid moves molecules from the gas fields south through central British Columbia to urban population centres on the Pacific Coast. That infrastructure has reliably moved the molecules, whilst consistently lowering emissions, for decades. Global demand can rely on that infrastructure to support the export of clean natural gas in the years to come.
