LNG Canada begins to take shape in Kitimat nelson bennett One year ago, the partners behind LNG Canada formally sanctioned the $40 billion project. Today, 1,000 workers are on site in Kitimat – about half of them from the KitimatTerrace area – and that’s just to set the stage for the main construction phase, which isn’t expected to start for another couple of years. The project is booming, according to Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth. “It’s definitely buzzing,” he said. “The hotels are full, there’s another brand new hotel that’s being built. There’s a brand new 35unit townhouse development being done.” Located at the mouth of Douglas Channel, next to the recently upgraded Rio Tinto aluminum smelter, the LNG Canada site at 400 hectares is about the size of 550 soccer fields. At the north end, the Cedar Valley Lodge, a self-contained work village that will house up to 4,500 workers, is starting to take shape, while at the south end, dredging barges are busy scooping up sediment – some of it contaminated from historical industrial activities – to deepen the channel for LNG carriers. The dredging alone currently employs about 150 workers. In between these two bookends is the main site, where a battalion of more than 70 pieces of earthworks machinery – dump trucks, graders, excavators – has already moved about one-third of the 2.8 million cubic metres of fill needed to prepare the site.

If you ground up the Great Pyramid of Giza, it wouldn’t quite provide all the fill that’s needed. On site are 6,000 40-metre steel pilings, made in Turkey. They will be driven into the ground to support the LNG complex, which will include two LNG processing modules, known as trains. In July 2021, LNG modules that will be built in Asia are expected to arrive. That is when most of the tradespeople – electricians, welders, pipefitters – will be mobilized to start putting it all together. Peak construction will be between 2022 and 2024.

“That’s when the skyline of the project changes every day, virtually,” said LNG Canada general manager Vince Kenny, who spent the last five years on an LNG project in Australia. “It’s quite an intense couple of years.” From 2022 to 2024, up to 7,500 people will be employed on the project. The shifts will be staggered, with employees working two weeks on and one week off, so no more than 4,500 will be on site at any one time. Another 2,500 will be working on the associated $6.2 billion Coastal GasLink project. The project is so massive that a

work camp in Kitimat, the 1,186room Sitka Lodge, is being used to house some of the workers who are building a bigger work camp. Cedar Valley Lodge is more like a temporary town than a work camp. The work village, being built by Bird-ATCO Joint Venture, will have maximum occupancy of 4,500 rooms, an entertainment and recreation complex that will feature a movie theatre – something the town of Kitimat doesn’t even have – separate gyms for men and women and a basketball court. The first 1,500 beds will open in April 2020. Continued on Page 12

Largest B.C. Montney producer shifts HQ to U.S. nelson bennett Encana Corp., one of Canada’s largest oil and gas companies and the largest player in B.C.’s Montey formation, is relocating its headquarters to the U.S. Encana announced this morning it is changing its name to Ovintiv, and relocating its headquarters to the U.S., where it sees better opportunities to attract capital. “A domicile in the United States will expose our company to increasingly larger pools of investment in U.S. index funds and passively managed accounts, as well as better align us with our U.S. peers,” the company said in a news release. “The change in corporate domicile will not change how we run our day-to-day activities.” Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage blamed the move on “harmful policies in Canada” for the company’s decision to relocate to the U.S. “It is no coincidence that today’s news is being announced after the

federal election,” she said. Over the past couple of years, oil and gas majors have divested from Canada, and Canadian companies, like Encana, have increasingly moved investment south as well. A number of smaller oil drilling companies have also left Canada for the U.S. A number of business groups have blamed the Trudeau government for policies that has resulted in a flight of capital from Canada, especially from Alberta’s oil sands. According to a C.D. Howe Institute report, $100 billion worth of energy projects were killed, cancelled or stalled in a twoyear period under the Trudeau government, although a $40 billion LNG project did get approved in B.C., and companies like Teck Resources continue to push forward with plans to develop Alberta oil sands projects. And after years of inertia, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion appears to be finally moving forward.

Investment in the Canadian oil and gas sector fell from $125 billion in 2014 to $75 billion in 2018. This was during a period when global investments in oil and gas increased, especially in the U.S., which had a 50% rise in oil and gas sector investment in 2017. One of the first orders of business for the Trudeau, upon being elected in 2015, was to kill the Northern Gateway pipeline project, sending a general chill through the oil and gas sector. The cancellation of the Energy East pipeline was likewise blamed, at least in part, on changes to the environmental review process (requiring upstream greenhouse gas estimates to be part of the review), although the resurrection of the Keystone XL pipeline project also played a role in the decision by TC Energy Corp. to drop the Energy East project. The Trudeau government also added two pieces of legislation viewed to be negative for Alberta’s oil and gas industry: a moratorium on oil tankers on B.C.’s north coast

and a new environmental act that industry in general believes will make it harder to get projects approved in Canada. Even the former CEO of the one major energy project that has succeeded in moving forward – the $40 billion LNG Canada project – has expressed concern about Canada’s inability to get things done. “As a relatively recent arrival to Canada, I am worried about this country’s future,” former LNG Canada CEO Andy Calitz said in a speech in Prince George on January 22. “B.C. and Canada are resource rich, but at the moment, those resources are having a very difficult time getting to market.” Encana’s headquarter move is not expected to have any immediate impact on its Canadian holdings. The company continues to hold major positions in Alberta and B.C. Encana is the single largest producer of natural gas and liquids in B.C. Montney formation. — Business in Vancouver

Fort St. John’s new reclaimed water truck fill station is nearly complete and expected to be operational by the end of November. Announced in 2016, the $7-million facility will reclaim treated sewage water for industrial use, and cut industry’s dependence on the city’s potable water supply. Two hundred thousand cubic metres of potable water is currently used for industrial purposes each year, according to the city. “It is anticipated that this new facility will reduce the amount of potable water being used for the oilfield industry for fracking purposes,” city staff noted in a report to council on Nov.

12. As part of the report, council gave first three readings to sewer bylaw amendments that set initial cost recovery rates of $3.50 per cubic metre. Other fees, penalties, and procedures for haulers using the facility are also outlined in the amendments. The water reclamation project includes both the fill station on 81 Avenue and a disinfection facility at the south sewage lagoons. A water main connects the two, and will allow industrial properties along the line to tie in a service connection for a fee. The project was supported by $5 million in federal gas tax funding, and is expected to have a useful life of 20 years. — Pipeline News North

Canadian broadcasting legend and renowned political and social commentator Rex Murphy will make a visit to Fort St. John in the new year.

More details will be announced as they are finalized. Murphy is expected to touch on a wide range of topics given his experiences as a longtime CBC broadcaster, commentator, and public speaker, along with his post-election perspectives and the prospects ahead for western Canada. “There’s a lot of uncertainty of where things are going to land from an energy perspective,” Davis said. “Bringing Rex in to speak to some of his thoughts about that might provide some optimism and insight.” — Pipeline News North

Sale of Prince George refinery completed matt Preprost Husky Energy has closed the sale of its Prince George Refinery to Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure, the company said Friday. The transaction is worth $215 million in cash, plus a closing adjustment of about $53.5 million. It includes a contingent payment to Husky of up to $60 million over two years, and the company has entered into a five-year offtake agreement with Tidewater for refined products from the refinery. The refinery uses crude oil and condensate from B.C. and Alberta to produce about 12,000 barrels

per day of low-sulphur gasoline and diesel fuel. Tidewater has said the refinery will expand its liquids value chain, and is a critical piece of infrastructure in a region in short supply of refined products. Husky will buy 90% of the refinery’s diesel and gasoline capacity for five years to supply its Husky retail gasoline stations and Husky retail partners. The sale is part of Husky’s plan to focus on a series of physically linked assets in Western Canada as well as its offshore oil and gas production off Canada’s East Coast and in the Asia-Pacific region. — Pipeline News North

Small-scale LNG plant proposed for Terrace matt Preprost A Chinese energy firm is looking to build its presence in B.C., proposing a new, small-scale liquefied natural gas facility in Terrace. Top Speed Energy is preparing to begin consultations on its Skeena LNG project, proposed to process up to 150,000 tonnes of LNG per year to be shipped by intermodal containers to foreign markets and by truck to domestic markets. The project is planned for industrial lands adjacent to the Northwest Regional Airport, and the company says the project is small enough to avoid federal and provincial requirements for an

environmental assessment. The company says it plans to file an application for a facility permit from the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission, and other permits from the City of Terrace. The project is proposed to be fed by a nearby gas pipeline, and powered by BC Hydro. Earlier this year, Top Speed signed a two-year deal with FortisBC to ship 53,000 tonnes of LNG per year from FortisBC’s Tilbury plant to China, until 2021. Top Speed said the capacity of its proposed Skeena LNG project is less than 1% of the volume being developed by LNG Canada. — Pipeline News North

LNG could be boon for B.C. power producers nelson bennett B.C. has abundant clean power – if only there was a way to ship those electrons across the sea to help coal-dependent countries reduce their emissions. Actually, there is a way – sort of. Natural gas that is liquefied using clean hydro and wind power and then exported would be, in a sense, a way of embedding B.C.’s low emission electricity in another form of energy. Given the increased demand that could come from an LNG industry – especially one that moves towards greater electrification – poses some potentially big opportunities for B.C.’s clean energy independent power sector, as those attending the Clean Energy Association of BC’s annual at the Generate conference heard Thursday, November 7. At a session on LNG electrification, delegates were told that LNG produced in B.C. with electricity could have some significant environmental benefits. Given how much power an LNG plant that uses electric drive consumes, an electrified LNG industry could also pose some significant opportunities for independent power producers – a sector that had the wind taken out of its sails with the sanctioning of Site C dam. Only one LNG plant being built in B.C. – Woodfibre LNG – will use electric drive to produce LNG, although the companies behind Kitimat LNG have changed their original design plans, and now plan to use electric drive drive as well. Even small LNG plants that use electric drive require a lot of power. “We’re talking about a lot of power, since it’s one of the biggest consumers you can connect to a grid,” said Sven Demmig, head of project development for Siemens. Most LNG plants still burn natural gas to drive the liquefaction process. They typically generate 0.35 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of LNG produced. Because it will use electric drive, LNG produced by Woodfibre LNG will have an emissions intensity that is 80% less than LNG produced in the Gulf of Mexico, said Woodfibre president David Keane. In B.C., the benchmark for GHG intensities for LNG plants has been set at 0.16 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of LNG. Above that,

LNG producers would need to pay higher carbon taxes than those that are below the benchmark. The LNG Canada plant has an intensity of 0.15 tonnes og CO2e per tonne of LNG. Woodfibre LNG will have an emissions intensity of just 0.059, thanks to electric drive. “So we will be significantly less than any operating facility in the world,” Keane said. Keane said Sinopec has recently estimated that it expects China’s demand for natural gas to grow by 82% by 2030. “So China will, in fact, get its gas supply,” Keane said. “The question is: where will that supply come from? “For every tonne of LNG that’s being produced today in the United States -- and tonne of LNG that we’re not producing in Canada -- we’re seeing about 10 million tonnes of carbon leakage every single year.” The first Canadian company to produce LNG that ended up in China is FortisBC. Small independent operators have been buying LNG from FortisBC’s Tilbury Island plant and shipping to China in ISO containers on container ships.

David Bennett, director of communications for FortisBC, said those shipments are traced to industries in China that are, indeed, using LNG instead of coal power now. “We know where those shipping containers are going,” he said. “They’re actually going to displace coal in factories in China.” Verifying what the LNG is used for is important, if Canadian producers want to claim any kind of climate credit. LNG shipped to Japan or South Korea to displace nuclear power, for example, would actually result in a net increase in GHGs. But used to displace coal, the emissions reductions can be significant, since natural gas produces about half the CO2 that coal does. The problem for LNG producers here is B.C.’s emissions reduction targets. Even LNG produced with electricity will produce some GHGs. The fact that LNG that could dramatically reduce GHGs in other countries, if it displaces coal power, does not count in B.C.’s carbon accounting. Under the Paris Agreement, countries agree to set their own reduction targets, but

don’t typically get to claim any reductions that might result outside their own country. Canada is exploring the use of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMO) under the Under the Paris Agreement to allow Canada to claim some of the GHG reductions that result in other countries, like China, through the export of Canadian LNG. “For example, if I were producing 4 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in B.C. and I was selling 100% of my LNG to China, and I can verify that they’re replacing coal…they would have a reduction of about 60 or million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions,” Keane said. “So if they’re buying 4 million tonnes of emissions from us, under these ITMOs, then they have net reduction of 56 million tonnes, we’d have a net increase of zero.” But even if China and Canada agreed to such a trading arrangement, the United Nations still hasn’t decided just how the rules around ITMOs will work. — Business in Vancouver

New construction scholarship for women

matt Preprost A new scholarship has been established at Northern Lights College for women wanting to pursue a career in construction and the trades. Peace River Hydro Partners presented the college with $35,000 to establish the scholarship on Thursday, Nov. 7, after meeting with students at North Peace Secondary. The company says the new scholarship is part of its women in construction inclusion and equality program, and as a legacy for Peace region students after the Site C dam is completed. “There are so many women in construction looking to pass down all their knowledge and experience, and willing to mentor newcomers,” said Jamie Bodnarchuk, PRHP communications manager, in a news release. “The challenge with education is that, although it’s very valuable, it’s not always accessible to everyone. Students must invest not only their time, but also some money. We realized we can help with that.” Peace River Hydro Partners is the main civil works construction contractor for $10.7-billion Site C project on the Peace River outside Fort St. John. The company says the number of women in its construction workforce is at 10%, double the national average.

Is Trans Mountain safe under new Liberal minority? nelson bennett For B.C.’s resource industries, a Liberal minority government will likely mean business as usual for most sectors, except one. Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government won a minority Monday night, October 21, but in order to govern, will need the support of other parties to pass budgets and other key pieces of legislation, with the NDP the most likely ally. Trudeau’s national carbon tax is safe, which means B.C. industries will not be on the uneven footing with industries in other provinces, as they would be if the Conservatives won and scrapped Trudeau’s national carbon tax. Despite his anti-pipeline rhetoric, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh does not have the political capital to kill the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, say political pundits, especially given how many seats the NDP lost. But he could help kill one B.C. resource industry – salmon farming. Singh’s party lost 14 seats in Monday’s vote, falling from 39 seats to 25. Singh has opposed the Trans Mountain pipeline’s expansion. But the expansion is already approved. There is no vote pending in Parliament that would require NDP support, and even if there were, a Liberal minority government can count on the Conservatives to vote in favour of the project. Singh would need to make the project’s cancellation a condition of support for a Liberal minority government. But he simply doesn’t have the political

leverage to make such a demand, say political pundits, and the NDP does not have the war chest it would need to bring down the government and fight another election, especially given how poorly they fared Monday night. “There’s no way he (Singh) can make the basis of supporting the government the most important single thing, symbolically, which would be to terminate TMX,” said University of BC political scientist Richard Johnston. “He has no mandate for that. The broad swath of MPs in the House, Conservative and Liberal combined, are onside with some version of getting oil to tidewater.” A majority of Canadians support the completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline. An Angus Reid poll in June found 56% of Canadians agreed the Trudeau government made the right decision in approving the pipeline’s expansion. Canadians also now own the existing Trans Mountain pipeline, and Singh would have to justify putting them on the hook for $2 billion, which is how much in sunk costs that the government would need to write off, if the expansion were to be cancelled. While the Liberals may have won more seats overall, they lost most of Western Canada. The electoral map from Manitoba to the B.C. Interior is mostly blue. Trudeau’s energy policies had a lot to do with that blue wave in Alberta and Saskatchewan -- something Tim McMillan, president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), said he hopes the Trudeau government will reflect on.

“When we look at the electoral map tonight -and it is quite stark -- from the Manitoba-Ontario border west, potentially we may have a federal government that’s looking to correct that division in Canada,” McMillan said. “I think there’s an opportunity for the federal government to work with industries like ours, and others, to hold this country’s divisions together.” “Westerners have grown tired of being seen as a problem to be dealt with rather than the source of solutions and prosperity that they see themselves to be,” added Stewart Muir, executive director for Resource Works. “This election outcome is a signal that it’s time to start listening to them.” As for B.C.’s LNG industry, that is more of a provincial matter, and in any case, Singh has been decidedly opaque on where he stands on LNG. The B.C. NDP government supports the LNG industry, so Singh might not want to push agendas that would alienate his provincial counterparts in B.C. If there is one resource industry that could be in trouble in B.C., following the election results, it’s salmon farming. The Liberals have pledged to phase out opennet salmon farms in B.C. by 2025 – a promise that puts 6,000 B.C. jobs in jeopardy. That pledge is one Liberal platform promise that has the full support of the NDP. All NDP candidates in B.C., including Singh, have signed a Wildfirst pledge to phase out salmon farms by 2025. — Business in Vancouver

Coastal Gaslink protester arrested The tense moments over the Coastal GasLink pipeline continued Wednesday Nov. 6 when a woman was arrested but later released after refusing to back down from blocking a crew on its way to working on the project. North District RCMP said she was one of three police found blocking a subcontractor’s vehicle while patrolling the Morice River Forest Service Road south of Houston. While the other two complied with RCMP’s request to stand down, the woman did not and was taken into custody. She was to appear in court the next day, but then CGL officials advised police that it had inadvertently failed to follow an agreement they had made with the protester regarding access. “Given this information, the

RCMP exercised discretion and released the protester immediately with the understanding that the matter would be resolved between the parties,” RCMP said. The pipeline is to carry natural gas 670 kilometres from the Groundbirch area of the B.C. Peace to LNG Canada’s $40-billion export terminal currently under construction near Kitimat. But Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs are against allowing the pipeline to pass through the First Nation’s traditional territory. They are awaiting a B.C. Supreme Court decision on whether an injunction against blockading the project should be lifted or put in place for the duration of construction after making submissions at the Prince George courthouse in June. — Prince George Citizen

CGl cost rises to $6.6 billion The estimated cost of the Coastal GasLink project has increased to $6.6 billion, TC Energy Corp. said Friday. The $400 million increase is due to additional meter stations and greater costs for rock work and water crossings once the company was able to gain access to the entire route, Tracy Robinson, executive vice-president and president of Canadian Gas Pipelines, said during a conference call to discuss third quarter 2019 results. “As we have been into that terrain now, the first pass has suggested that there are more rock issues than we had suggested in our estimates and so this adjustment reflects that as well as a greater number of water crossings across the full pipe path,” she said. “This is an estimate at that

point in time and we are going to be working very hard to mitigate that.” TC Energy said it expects the incremental cost will be incorporated into the final tolls for the pipeline that will transport natural gas from northeast British Columbia to the LNG Canada project at Kitimat. The initial capacity is 2.1 billion cubic feet per day with a potential expansion to 5 bcf/d. Construction is continuing to proceed as planned under the permits granted by the BC Oil and Gas Commission following a decision earlier this year in which the National Energy Board reaffirmed provincial jurisdiction for the project. — Daily Oil Bulletin

New caps on sulphur emissions for international marine shipping come into effect in 2020, which will require ships that burn bunker fuel to install scrubbers, switch to lower sulphur diesel fuel or other, cleaner fuel sources, including LNG. FortisBC, which produces LNG at its Tilbury Island terminal, and the port authority want to make

Vancouver a marine LNG bunkering hub to service ships that make the switch to LNG. A report by PwC, commissioned by FortisBC, estimates a bunkering facility would take five years to build. It would have an annual economic impact of $930 million, the study found. The B.C. government is kicking in $25,000 towards the cost of the study and “to fund environmental and social impacts analyses and a competitiveness assessment.” The project is still under environmental assessment.

LNG Canada a boon for local jobs, tax base Continued from the front page The idea behind Cedar Valley Lodge is to avoid having workers moving into Kitimat or Terrace and pushing rents up, which often occurs on large projects when contractors provide living-out allowances. “From the very beginning, we made a commitment not to support living-out allowances,” said Susannah Pierce, director of external relations for LNG Canada. “We don’t want people to be displaced, which is why we went on a very rigorous process to ensure that we developed housing to support our workers, and developed a camp which, as you saw today, would make people want to stay and come back to.” Marine habitat offsets Some of the early work done on the project has been marine habitat restoration. For every hectare of marine habitat disturbed, two must be added as an offset. One fish-bearing creek, for example – Beaver Creek – has to be redirected. Workers with the Haisla-Triton Limited Partnership are working in the stream, physically relocating fish and amphibians. “Literally they are in there with their muckers taking out fish and amphibians by the bucket and relocating them to other spots,” said LNG Canada area construction manager Trevor Feduniak. New salt marshes are also being created, and a new fish ladder was built this summer on Anderson Creek. When the Rio Tinto aluminum smelter was built in the 1950s, a new road and bridge over Anderson Creek created a barrier for salmon, cutting off about one kilometre of gravel spawning beds upstream from the bridge. A new fish ladder was built in the summer, and this fall, for the first time in 70 years, salmon have been able to make it past the bridge and up into the gravel beds above the bridge. “We did one count two months ago, and we’re well over 100 coho have made their way up,” Feduniak said. Dredging Some of the damage done by historical industrial activities is also being addressed. Dredging will remove sediment that was contaminated by industrial

activities, which included a pulp mill. “Our dredging is doing a lot of cleanup,” Feduniak said. There are already two marine terminals extending into Douglas Channel, both owned by Rio Tinto, one of which will be taken over by LNG Canada. One terminal is for importing alumina, the other for exporting aluminum. Once the channels have been deepened through dredging, the existing aluminum export terminal will be developed into an import-export terminal, and LNG Canada will take over the other terminal, which will have two berths for LNG carriers. That terminal is also where the massive Asia-built LNG modules will be brought in, before being trundled to the site. The site is being prepared for a four-train complex, but only the first two trains are part of the $40 billion that was approved in last year’s final investment decision. The Kitimat LNG complex represents $17 billion of the $40 billion in capital spending. While it would make some sense to capitalize on the workforce that will be in place for the first two trains and sanction the second phase (two more liquefaction plants) while the project is still under construction, Pierce said the sanctioning decision will depend on markets and the first two-train project being completed on time and on budget. “We need to make sure that Phase 2 is competitive,” Pierce said. “We want to see how we perform on Phase 1. The next two trains need to have a market, and they need to be competitive.” Local jobs LNG Canada and its main contractor – JGC Fluor – have committed to a hiring policy that gives preference to local workers, women and First Nations. As of September, of the 1,000 people employed on the project, 520 are from the Terrace-Kitimat region. JGC Fluor has awarded 38 contracts to date for everything from coffee supplies to the multimillion-dollar Cedar Valley Lodge (Bird-ATCO Joint Venture). Some of the larger contracts have gone to international firms, like VINCI Construction in France, which has the $400 million contract to build the site’s LNG storage tank. To date, $1 billion in contracts and procurement have gone to

B.C. companies, more than half of which – $558 million – has gone to firms and First Nations in the immediate region. A number of firms directly or indirectly working on the LNG Canada project have partnered with First Nations in the area, notably the Haisla. The Haisla Nation has several joint ventures or partnerships that have contracts with LNG Canada or JGC Fluor, including: • Haisla-Triton, marine habitat offset work; • Ledcor-Haisla Limited Partnership, site preparation; • Haisla-Brinkman Forestry, tree clearing; • Haisla-Simplex Grinnel Limited Partnership, communications and surveillance systems; and • HaiSea Marine, a partnership between the Haisla and Seaspan, with a $500 million contract to provide tugboat service for LNG carriers. Women in the workforce LNG Canada has worked with a number of institutes to provide the necessary education and skills training to prepare locals with skills and trades, and has committed to employing 25% of the workforce as apprentices. As part of a commitment to get more women into skilled trades, LNG Canada and JGC Fluor launched the Your Place training program, designed to recruit women to trades and train them. In response to a recent call for applications, 1,000 women have applied. The applicants will be placed in a four-week work-readiness training program and then take part in an apprenticeship program. Of the 12 women in the first group, three are First Nations. The first four-week workreadiness training program was slated to start November 12 at the Kitimat Valley Institute (KVI), which helps prepare locals for skilled trades jobs. One of the programs KVI offers is a high school upgrading program. It also works with the British Columbia Institute of Technology to provide a bridge watch program to certify people to work on tugboats. Community impacts As an industry town, the District of Kitimat (population 9,000) and the Haisla Nation are the biggest supporters and beneficiaries of

the LNG industry in general. The town’s main industry has always been the Rio Tinto aluminum smelter, which was built in the 1950s and underwent a $6 billion expansion and modernization in 2014 and 2015. But other industries in Kitimat have come and gone. In 2008, 120 locals lost their jobs when Methanex shut down its methanol plant, and in 2010 another 535 jobs were lost when West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. shut down its Eurocan pulp mill. Both of those industrial sites make up part of the LNG Canada site. Once the LNG plant is in operation in 2025, it will provide 300 to 450 permanent jobs, depending on whether it expands to four from two trains. The District of Kitimat will receive industrial taxes from LNG Canada that start at $1.6 million a year during a five-year construction period, rising to $9.7 million per year once in operation. The nearby city of Terrace, a 45-minute drive from Kitimat, is less enthusiastic about the project. While some citizens and businesses are profiting from jobs and increased commerce, the city is experiencing a strain on housing and public services, like policing, but getting no additional tax revenue. The town is coping with higher crime rates and homelessness, believed to be related to increased industrial activity, not just from LNG Canada but from other projects, like mines, as well, according to Terrace Mayor Carol Leclerc. “It’s really tough to be the best supporting actor when you don’t have any tax dollars to help out,” she said. She said Terrace has been lobbying the provincial government through the Northwest BC Resource Benefits Alliance to get the same kind of revenue sharing it provides to towns, like Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, that are along the Coastal GasLink pipeline corridor though the Northern Capital and Planning Grant. Dawson Creek gets $12 million annually through the program, for example. “If we had $12 million or $13 million in the City of Terrace’s pockets, things would look a lot different,” she said. — Business in Vancouver

UBC researchers injected natural gas into the soil and then monitored for methane over 24 days, along with atmospheric pressure. | UBC Photo

Atmospheric pressure affects fugitive emissions nelson bennett A new study that demonstrates atmospheric pressure can increase or decrease methane emissions from leaky oil and gas wells underscores the need for better monitoring and measuring in B.C.’s natural gas fields. Researchers from the University of BC conducted an experiment in which they replicated a leaky gas well to assess how much methane might escape from the soil around it. Their findings were published in Nature Scientific Reports. The study found that atmospheric pressure can dramatically affect how much “soil gas” might escape from the ground into the atmosphere. According to the study, roughly 7% of oil and gas wells may have degraded wellbores that can leak natural gas, which can migrate to the surface and escape into the atmosphere.

Fugitive emissions from these wells are measured, but not continuously. Most methane measurements are snapshots, and those snapshots can vary dramatically, depending on where – and apparently when – they are taken. To replicate a leaky gas well, the researchers injected methane into the ground to a depth of 12 metres. The area was then continuously monitored for methane emissions over 24 days, along with atmospheric pressure. The experiment found that during high-pressure periods, methane emissions decreased to the point where no methane was detected. During periods of low atmospheric pressure, however, there was a spike in how much methane was detected. The study underscores the problem with trying to use modeling based on snapshots to determine methane leakage rates.

“Currently, subsurface gas migration is monitored using infrequent or short-term locationrestrictive measurements,” Olenka Forde, lead author of the study, said in a press release. “Our study shows that the magnitude of gas emissions to the atmosphere can depend on atmospheric pressure before and during the time of monitoring, so short-term, onetime measurements may not be representative of average emissions.” Methane is the Achilles heel of the natural gas and LNG industry. When burned to generate power, natural gas has less than half the CO2 emissions of coal, so there are some fairly obvious environmental benefits. But because natural gas production can result in fugitive methane emissions, there are concerns that if too much methane

is leaking, it could cancel out any environmental benefits of switching from coal to natural gas. Methane does not persist in the atmosphere as long as CO2, but is magnitudes worse in terms of its global warming potential. It is difficult to measure the actual amount of methane that escapes from a given gas field. A number of studies have produced wildly differing estimates of just how much methane may be escaping from natural gas fields. Forde says continuous monitoring is needed to get a more accurate picture of just how much methane is actually leaking from gas fields. The study was funded by Natural Resources Canada, Geoscience BC, the BC Oil and Gas Commission, Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada, and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation.

The global warming hysteria and a crisis of truth and reason

T

he biggest crisis that we face in Canada today is not one of global warming but one of truth and reason. Hysteria has sunk its teeth deep into the conscience of the climate movement, so deep that any statement made by so called “climate crusaders” is lapped up by climate followers with fervent adherence and not given any critical thought or analysis. On a recent trip to Vancouver, I happened to unwittingly secure a front row ‘window’ from my hotel room to bear witness to the theatrical rally that took place in front of Vancouver’s Art Gallery. From my vantage point, I could hear the sermons from the opening acts of the Greta Show, as they hyped the crowd up with doomsday predictions reminiscent of religious leaders from historical past, forecasting the end of civilization and urging the populace to repent of their climate sins or face the end times. While the preachers on stage preached their anti-pipeline sermons, lines of traffic sat idling due to the disruption, a helicopter circled overhead to capture the circus, and the overwhelming smell of marijuana wafted up to sting my young son’s eye balls, I couldn’t help but wonder: what is the real message here? Chants of “Stop the hate, no pipeline, stop the hate, no pipeline,” confused me. Who and what are the protestors hating? Or do they think everyone who is pro-pipeline is pro-hate? A young girl held a sign that read, “Cutting trees for a better life is like [having sex] to get rid of a virus.” At least this sign, as confusing as it was, allowed me an opportunity to remind my young son of the importance of safe sex. However, one particular proselytizer’s message perked my ears up. With a microphone in hand and all the swagger and conviction of an assured Baptist preacher, this crusader declared to the crowd, “The Trans Mountain Pipeline has an 80% chance of spilling and [when it spills] 1 million people will instantly be sick within 24 hours.” To this statement, a roar

erupted from the crowd. I was gobsmacked such an egregious and outrageous statement could be made and accepted as fact. This outrageous declaration, which was blindly accepted as truth by the climate crusaders, would be about as accurate as one declaring that, “Tomorrow I will jump off of a bridge and there is an 80% chance that I will fly.” The truth is that Canada is a country that is as amazing as it is diverse, and our acceptance has no bounds. Look how we have openly welcomed a young, naive foreigner to influence our election, furthering western alienation and conjuring up even more unwarranted hatred of our oil and gas industry. Look how we accept our politicians politely standing by in silence as our fellow citizens protest the very industry that has allowed Canada to be as prosperous and successful as it is. Look how we allow our prime minister to put his own international celebrity and global popularity above the best interest of any citizen west of Manitoba. Look how we allow our resources be sold for a fraction of the price, lest we upset our coastal populace by twinning an existing pipeline. Canada’s so-called carbon footprint comprises less than 2% of the world’s carbon output, yet we are allowing a culture of hysteria and illogical reasoning to control energy industry policy and cripple our valuable resources. The truth is that our energy resources in Canada are produced with the most stringent environmental standards in the world. Reason would say that Canada, which provides the cleanest and safest energy on the planet, should not be ashamed of their own resources but rather be proudly marketing them to the world. However, after watching the Greta Show it looks to me that reason has gone the way of the dinosaur. Rebecca Pimm lives and works in Fort St. John.
