Western Canada resource convoy ready to roll to Ottawa Brian Zinchuk There’s been some turns in the road, but it looks like there will indeed be a convoy of trucks rolling across Western Canada right up to Parliament Hill to let the government know the oil and gas sector has had enough. Most of the rubber was expected to hit the road on Feb. 14, starting in Red Deer, Alta. After several fits and starts, a convoy of close to 300 units is coming together, according to organizer Glen Carritt, who spoke to Pipeline News on Feb. 6. Trucks are also expected to start rolling a day earlier, in Peace River country in Northwest Alberta and Northeast British Columbia, so that they can make it to Red Deer to join the rest of the group. From Red Deer the convoy will pass Strathmore, Brooks, and Medicine Hat before crossing into Saskatchewan, arriving in Regina around 9 p.m. A few hotels have set aside blocks of rooms for booking, including one at Emerald Park, on Regina’s east side. A group from southeast Saskatchewan is expected to join up with the main convoy as is passes through Virden the next morning. The convoy is anticipated to pass Winnipeg in mid-afternoon and reach the Ontario border at 5:15 p.m. on Feb. 15, and then stay overnight at Kenora. The next day, the convoy is expected to reach Sault St. Marie, and then Anprior, near Ottawa, on Feb. 17. Activities in Ottawa are expected to commence Feb. 19 with a convoy

to Parliament Hill in the morning. Recognizing that some people might not be able to commit to the entire expedition, organizers are encouraging people to join the convoy at one of the points along the route and go along for as long as they are able, whether that’s city-to-city or border-to-border. A few trucks are expected to come from Eastern Canada, from New Brunswick and Quebec. Several enthusiastic participants have gone so far as to cover their vehicles with decals, a form of rolling billboard. Carritt’s fire truck is one of them. On Feb. 19 the convoy will roll

out of Arnprior to Parliament Hill, where they will be parking nearby. “It’ll take us a couple of hours,” Carritt said. Speeches at Parliament Hill will begin at 11 a.m. and the rally will carry on until 4 p.m. The permit for the rally indicates it will take place near the Centennial Flame and near the main stairs. “This isn’t just oil and gas, this isn’t just the farming industry, this is all Canadians,” Jason Corbeil, the organizer who has been organizing the trucks, said in a Facebook live broadcast on Feb. 6. Carritt said they will be coming back on Feb. 20, from 10 a.m. to

noon for a few more speeches and to ensure everything is cleaned up. After that, he expects the convoy to disperse and head back home on their own timing and accord, whether they choose to leave that day or the next day. “We’re tired of the carbon tax. We’re tired of Bill C-69,” Carritt said in the same Facebook broadcast. Brian Zinchuk is along for the ride with the convoy to Ottawa. Read updates at pipelinenewsnorth.ca — Pipeline News

Pipelines and bakeries

nlike Paul Simon’s smash hit in 1975, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, there are limited options for natural gas producers to ship their product once it leaves the wellhead. Producers dream of 50 ways to capitalize on getting their gas to market, but unfortunately that’s not the case. The word “pipeline” has become a buzzword and a politically-charged word all wrapped up into one in the endless push-andpull debate on fossil fuels. What is undeniable to us in Northeast B.C. is the critical importance of pipelines to the natural gas industry and expansion of additional pipelines to create more

access to other markets. The development of shale gas plays has inundated our pipeline systems in Northeast B.C. This has unequivocally hindered future development until we find more capacity and access for our gas. A pipeline system created in the age of smaller vertical well production was taken by storm when shale gas came online in ways many didn’t expect. Until the recent expansion, the access to different options of pipelines, and the capacity to ship, the access is a constant struggle for producers in the north. The picture I’m painting is admittedly a gloomy one, but the good news

is that there’s a glimmer of hope on an otherwise rainy day. Enter the North Montney Mainline and Coastal Gas Link. These are game changers in the gas business and are a longawaited addition to access and capacity. At the risk of sounding cheesy, I equate it to a crude analogy of a bakery and you’re the baker. Until now, you had access to a

couple delivery trucks and restaurants for your bread. There has been no need to buy extra ovens or get more employees with such limited customers and access to them. Then one evening, while stressing over your bills and how they get paid, you get the call: “We like what you are making, and we are getting more delivery trucks and found more restaurants for your bread!” These new pipelines are your trucks and the customer list just expanded to included Asian markets. Now that you have a place for your bread and ways to get it there, investing in ovens and employees starts to become a reality.

This is no different for the gas producers who are now investing in plant capacity and eventually drilling with the new pipelines on the way. The industry has seen unprecedented change with the shale gas revolution and will see unprecedented change again with large infrastructure projects tackling the capacity issue of where to sell our gas and how to get it there. It won’t happen overnight, but the gas business will look entirely different in the future. A gloomy day might just start to smell like fresh baked bread.

The provincial government is looking for public feedback as it updates a key document outlining resource management planning across 4 million hectares of land in the Fort St. John and North Peace area. The Fort St. John Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) is being updated as part of reconciliation efforts with the Blueberry River First Nation and other Treaty 8 First Nations, the province said in an information bulletin released February 7. “Since the completion of the Fort St. John Land and Resource Management Plan in 1997, Northeast B.C. has experienced significant growth,” the bulletin states. “The original plan identifies resource management zones and protected areas on provincial public land, setting out objectives and strategies for how the land and resources are managed.” The Fort St. John LRMP was started in 1993 to identify resource management zones and protected areas over 4.6 million hectares in the Fort St. John Timber Supply Area — about 1.5 times the size of Vancouver Island — and set strategies on how the lands were to be developed. The LRMP was adopted in 1997, and established the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area. The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development is leading the update to the plan after the province signed an agreement with Blueberry River to address concerns about the cumulative ef-

fects of resource development in their territory. An open house is scheduled Feb. 20 at the Pomeroy Hotel in Fort St. John from 5 to 9 p.m. Public comments are being accepted until March 6 at 4 p.m. The province has hired Urban Systems to gather community input on what changes might be needed to the plan through surveys, interviews, meetings, and open houses. A report on that outreach will released to the public in spring 2019, when technical planning work will also begin. “Once the scope of the Fort St. John Land and Resource Management Plan updates and amendments are understood, the technical planning work will begin,” the bulletin states. “Further engagement with First Nations, local governments, industry, stakeholders and the public will also be part of the technical planning. This portion of the land and resource management plan update process is expected to begin in spring 2019.” Updating the plan is expected to take up to two years, into spring 2021, the province says. The LRMP covers a planning area bounded on the east by Alberta, on the south by the Peace River, to the west by the height of land of the Rocky Mountains and to the north by the Fort Nelson planning area at about the 58th parallel.

The Alberta government sits with about half the land sale revenue it did at the same period of last year after another quiet sale. The lone February sale held Wednesday generated $3.62 million for the provincial government on 27,760 hectares at an average price of $130.39. Year-to-date, the province has collected $19.49 million on 105,992 hectares at an average price of $183.88. After three sales last year, the province had taken in $40.83 million on the sale of 154,691 at an average price of $263.93. The next sale will be held March 6.

There are no parcels posted for February. Industry had requested parcels for the sale, but First Nations asked for more time to review and comment due to Christmas break office closures. The province has just one parcel listed for its March 27 sale, a 1,116-hectare lease in the Laprise and Black Creek areas.

Third major vessel on the road to Inter Pipeline petchem plant The third of four major moves of oversized equipment in the next several weeks is on its way from Edmonton to Inter Pipeline Ltd.’s Heartland Petrochemical Complex construction site near Fort Saskatchewan. Alberta issued a travel advisory on Friday afternoon for an oversize wide load that could disrupt traffic starting over the weekend until it reaches the site on Feb. 13. The vessel, fabricated by Cessco, is a 728-tonne, 48-metre long polypropylene reactor that will be part of Inter Pipeline’s $3.5-billion facility. The vessel will be used to convert propylene into a powdered substance used to fabricate products including medical equipment, athletic apparel and food storage containers.

BC OGC completes survey of decomm’d oil and gas wells The BC Oil and Gas Commission recently completed an aerial survey of 103 decommissioned oil and gas wells in the Fort St. John area and found two sites requiring repair. As part of a mandate to ensure the integrity of decommissioned wells, the survey, conducted in October 2018, used a laser-based methane detection array mounted on the underside of a helicopter which completed multiple passes over the decommissioned wells.” The surveyed wells were randomly selected and included open-hole abandonments, cased-hole abandonments, and wells with a previous history of surface casing vent flows which were repaired at time of well abandonment. The methane detection algorithm was set to the highest level of sensitivity to ensure even small methane leaks would be identified. The two emitting sites were subsequently inspected in person by OGC staff. The source of the emissions at one location was identified as a pipeline riser with trace levels of methane escaping as a result of the pipeline not being properly isolated. The source of the emissions at the other location is confirmed as an abandoned well leak. Both permit holders have been notified that repairs are required under the Pipeline Regulation and the Drilling and Production Regulation, respectively. — Daily Oil Bulletin

Crude oil production was up nearly 7% Canada produced 22.8 million cubic metres (143.3 million barrels) of crude oil and equivalent products in November, up 6.6% from the same month a year earlier. In the 10 months prior to November 2018, total crude and equivalent production averaged 21.8 million cubic metres per month. Crude oil production increases Synthetic crude production, up 14.9% to reach its second highest level on record, was the main contributor to the overall year-overyear growth. Increases in non-upgraded crude bitumen (+5.3%), equivalent products (+10.7%) and light and medium crude oil (+0.6%) also contributed to this growth. In contrast, heavy crude oil decreased 1.0% from November 2017. In a month when several Alberta producers implemented voluntary production cuts, insitu production of crude bitumen (-9.7%) fell to its lowest level since June 2017. Over the same period, mined production of crude bitumen (+27.3%) reached a record high 8.6 million cubic metres. Oil sands extraction and oil extraction Crude oil production (excluding equivalent products) totalled 20.9 million cubic metres in November, up 6.2% from the same month a year earlier. Oil sands extraction (nonupgraded crude bitumen and synthetic crude oil) averaged a 9.6% year-over-year rise since January 2018, outpacing growth in oil extraction (heavy, light and medium crude oil), which averaged 5.2% over the same period. Provincial production Alberta produced 18.9 million cubic metres of crude oil and equivalent products in November,

up 8.8% from the same month in 2017. Alberta (83.1%), Saskatchewan (10.4%) and Newfoundland and Labrador (3.9%) accounted for the vast majority of Canadian production of crude oil and equivalent products. Exports and imports Exports of crude oil and equivalent products totalled 18.2 million cubic metres in November, up 21.1% from the same month a year earlier. November marked the second highest level of exports, after the 18.4 million cubic metres exported in May 2018. Exports via pipelines to the United States rose 15.5% to 15.4 million cubic metres, the 11th consecutive monthly year-over-year increase. Exports to the United States via pipelines has averaged 15.2 million cubic metres so far in 2018, compared with 14.4 million cubic metres in the first 11 months of 2017. Exports to the United States by other means (including rail, marine, and truck) were up 44.9% from the same month in 2017, to 2.3 million cubic metres. Exports to other countries continued on an upward trend, totalling 6.9 million cubic metres so far in 2018, compared with 1.8 million cubic metres in all of 2017. Meanwhile, imports of crude oil to Canadian refineries, which tend to be volatile, were down 25.1% to 1.9 million cubic metres. Natural gas production Canadian marketable natural gas production decreased 3.3% from the same month a year earlier to 14.0 billion cubic metres in November.

Milestone: LnG canada trades program hits 1000th apprentice MaTT PrEPrOST LNG Canada and the BC Construction Association have hit a milestone in their partnership to train apprentices in the province’s construction sector. Marissa McTavish of Prince George is the 1000th apprentice to go through the Trades Training Fund, the two companies announced Wednesday, February 6. McTavish is studying electrical apprenticeship, and begins her Level 3 training at the College of New Caledonia this month. Her employer, Primus Electric, is also the 500th business to sponsor an employee with help from the fund, the companies said. “As a single mom, this opportunity to develop my skills in the electrical trade means steady employment, good wages, and selfrespect,” McTavish said in a news release. LNG Canada launched the fund in 2015, which has since doled out $1.5 million to help train apprentices in high demand trades in B.C. Of the 1,000 students

supported by the funding, 150 have gone to the College of New Caledonia. Funding for the program will continue, LNG Canada said. “At LNG Canada we recognize the valuable role all British Columbians play in maintaining a vibrant skilled workforce, not only for the emerging LNG industry, but for the prosperity of industries across B.C.,” said Tracey MacKinnon, the company’s workforce development manager. “We’re proud that our program is connecting people to successful employment in their local regions and acknowledge the leadership of the employers who are sponsoring apprentices.” A 2018 industry survey found 68% of employers had challenges finding skilled workers, according to the BCCA. “LNG Canada is helping to address that gap and opening up rewarding career opportunities for British Columbians across the province,” said President Chris Atchison. — Pipeline News North

GP companies handling brisk business with eye on talent rob brown The industry activity is so hot right now around Grande Prairie and Fox Creek, say industry players. “The activity and work levels are huge right now,” says Tony Madoche, general manager with JDA Oilfield Hauling. From down to Whitecourt/Fox Creek area, up through Grande Prairie and into BC, certainly. Madoche says JDA is holding their own in a slower market. “We’re looking for some bigger iron and expanding into more crane work; it’s a residual business and can expand our work scope on the jobs,” he says. “It has definitely slowed. The economy in Alberta certainly. We’re operating at perhaps 70 per cent where we could be and have,” Don Gilbert, dispatch man with Hitch Em Oilfield Hauling, says. Hitch Em is all about general oilfield hauling work; helping out with rig moves. “The trick is to keep our people busy when there is less work. There is always maintenance to do.” Hitch Em is a 12-driver outfit, five or so swampers, handful of mechanics, overhead, safety, and office staff, owned by Mitch and Heather Sutherland. “We try to keep the fleet versatile to handle anything that comes up.” Driver Jason Bjordal, who has been with the Hitch Em crew for a couple years, agrees. “To be ready to handle the work.” Hitch Em just moved to their

location north of GP on Hwy 670 less than a year ago, and have been in the business since 2007. Madoche says 2020 is already looking better. “The talk is about being landlocked and losing U.S. business as they become more self sufficient,” he says. “We need that pipeline to the coast, and governments supporting the industry. For three years, the NDP didn’t support this industry. Now they are, but it is too late.” JDA Oilfield Hauling brings 50 power units, a dozen hotshot, plus fleet and trailer support.

Michelle Anderson, administrative assistant with JDA Oilfield Hauling. JDA counts pilot trucks, 55 ton pickers, Texas beds, winch tractors and more in their fleet.

Cold weather blues February has froze the north; but oilfield keep working. “The cold weather is hard on the equipment; hard on the people,” says Gilbert. “When it gets to this point; we’ve got trucks in the shop overnight.” Madoche agrees. “Cold weather hard on everything; at this level the pro heat bloodline heaters don’t even keep up. We’ll have trucks running all night to stay going when it get to that -40 and -50 C point.” Madoche says the key to the continued success in the area will be the people. “Every team out there wants to keep their good people. Quality is tough to find; so are good drivers. We like to keep the talent we have.” — Pipeline News North

Oil and gas continue to fuel Northern B.C. economy: report matt preprost The economy of Northern B.C. will remain stable through 2019 thanks to oil and gas developments and construction of the Site C dam, but challenges remain for the region’s struggling forestry sector, according to an economic report of the region. The Northern Development Initiative Trust released its second annual State of the North report on Wednesday, January 23, offering a snapshot on the health of the agriculture, forestry, energy, and tourism industries, as well as the North’s four development regions. “This report truly highlights that while much of the economic growth in British Columbia is centered in the southern portion of the province, the north is continuing to make economic strides,” NDIT CEO Joel McKay said in a statement. “Signiﬁcant infrastructure projects such as the Site C dam, highway upgrades, the construction

of a propane export terminal, among others, have helped to offset declines in natural resource industries and will serve to grow our Northern B.C. economy.” Northern B.C. has been buoyed by improved oil and gas market conditions in 2017 and 2018, according to the report, making note of the LNG Canada, the Coastal GasLink pipeline, and the AltaGas propane expert terminal developments. There’s an estimated $36 billion in major projects across the region, mostly focused in the Northwest ($18.6 billion) and Northeast ($17.1 billion) regions, and most of that tied to energy infrastructure. The forestry industry, however, has been burned by a combination of wildfires and the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic, which has wiped out millions of hectares of timber supply. The sector continues to struggle with export tariffs to the United States. “Looking forward, reduced timber supply will

place continued downward pressure on this sector and force some forestry companies to rationalize their operations, which could mean shutdowns, further job loss and community impacts in the coming years,” the report states. The report notes Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge have been lifted by a bump in steel-making prices over the last two years, which has also boosted export activity at the Ridley Terminals in Prince Rupert. “Increases in prices for metallurgic coal, copper, zinc and other commodities suggest that the outlook for mining is also improving,” the report states. The report notes the value of residential building permits were up across the North in the first eight months of 2018, as were the number of housing starts. The report was completed with the help of MNP consultants. — Pipeline News North

Industry keeping DC airport busy — and it’s only getting busier austin cozicar In the month of January, the Dawson Creek Regional Airport saw more than 800 charter passengers — a large increase in numbers. “On a normal basis, we’ll probably get around 300 passengers a month. It’s jumped quite a bit,” says Patrick Sihota, Airport General Manager. “That is oil and gas.” Crediting the LNG Canada decision in October 2018 and work beginning on Coastal GasLink, Sihota notes many of the projects driving growth aren’t even in peak construction. “TransCanada, they will be flying in and out of here in charters quite a bit in the next coming months. ARC Resources, they’ll be in once a week on a charter plane. We have Encana every day, we’ve got Pentastar coming in at least three or four times a week,” says Sihota. “We’re essentially doubling our numbers with our charters.” While the influx of charter flights is good for the airport, this use of the airport by industry could also

see benefits for people in Dawson Creek. Sihota notes the airport is in negotiations with an airline to bring in a direct route to Calgary on a scheduled flight that the general public could use, that would benefit industry utilizing many of the charters. “Calgary is the hub of oil and gas. Dawson Creek is becoming

like a secondary hub of oil and gas in the north,” Sihota said. “We’re trying to establish that link, so these companies are incentivized to not fly in through charters and to use that scheduled service. “We saw with Integra last year that prices weren’t very ideal for people or a lot of the companies. The airline that we’re working with

has already consulted with the companies that are going to be flying in and out of here. “What a lot of these companies are doing is striking deals with airlines because they can buy tickets in bulk, and that not only helps out the company that’s buying the tickets, but it also helps out the airline to guarantee a certain load on the plane. Now their risk is lessened to implement a new route.” With the influx of people and projects, the airport has also noticed an increase in cargo and in medevacs. “Our proximity to Chetwynd, Tumbler and everything, Fort St. John, Grande Prairie, we’re actually dead in the centre, so if crews wanted to fly their people into Dawson and get their staff to the camps they need to get them too, it makes the most sense to come into Dawson,” he says. “In one month we’ve seen an influx already, I’m just trying to think when everything is in peak operations, we will see an influx. We’re just gearing up for it.” — Pipeline News North

13 things to know about Alberta’s second big new petchem project Deborah Jaremko Alberta Premier Rachel Notley’s work to encourage new petrochemical investment in the province reached a major milestone on Monday. Pembina Pipeline Corporation announced it will proceed with a $4.5-billion new integrated propane dehydrogenation plant and polypropylene facility in Sturgeon County. In late 2016 Pembina and its joint venture partner were one of two project owners to be awarded petrochemical funding support from the government. The other project proponent, Inter Pipeline Ltd., commenced construction on its $3.5-billion Heartland Petrochemical Complex in late 2017. Here are 13 facts about the new project to receive corporate approval. 1. The project is a joint venture with Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. of Kuwait (PIC) that was announced in April 2016 when the companies commenced a feasibility study. 2. Two months later, Pembina acquired over 2,200 acres of developable land ad-

In May 2017 Pembina and PIC formed Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation, the 50/50 joint venture entity that will own the project. They also announced the start of front-end engineering design, which was later awarded to Jacobs Engineering Group. Two major technology partners on the project are Honeywell UOP (Oleflex process technology) and W.R. Grace (UNIPOL PP process technology). The complex will process about 23,000 bbls/d of Alberta propane into polypropylene, which is a much higher-value plastic material used around the world to make products such as food packaging, auto parts and electronics. Pembina originally expected the partners to make the final investment decision on the project in mid-2017. This was most recently delayed to early

2019 after Pembina announced in midDecember it had not yet reached the contractual threshold required to take FID. 9. At the peak of construction, more than 3,000 workers will be on site, with the project expected to create over 200 fulltime operations and head office jobs upon completion. 10. Construction is expected to start in 2019, with the complex fully operational by mid-2023. The project will receive royalty credits after the facility has been constructed and is in operation. 11. The facility is expected to generate annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA net to Pembina of $275 to $350 million. 12. The government announced a second round of support for petrochemical upgrading in 2018, with total support now reaching $2.1 billion to unlock about $20 billion in private-sector investment. 13. This would help create as many as 15,500 jobs during construction of multiple petrochemical facilities across the province, the government says. — JWN Energy

Snowmobile club, industry working together in spirit of recreation Working long hours, often outside and in the cold, can get old and an outlet is always appreciated to remind workers of the reasons and benefits of working in the Peace Region. Whether it’s snowmobiling, quadding, or even snowshoeing, this is a beautiful area with a lot of opportunities for fun and relaxation. The Northland Trailblazers Snowmobile Club is an organization that serves to give workers, many from the oil and gas industry, a chance to get away and get outdoors in a way that doesn’t feel like work. “About 90 per cent of our membership is from the industry in some form or another. It’s just an outlet. Most of us in the Peace area are outdoor enthusiasts, and we need something to do, whether that’s snowmobiling, or quadding or what have you,” said Peter Bueckert, the club’s membership director. The club currently has just shy of 100 members, and its survival depends on a healthy relationship with industry. “Our trails often conflict with what the industry wants to do on the land, so we work together. The companies really step up and allow us to accomplish things,” Bueckert said.

Recently, Shell gave the club a $5,000 grant to help out with the restrictions that were placed on the Stewart Lake Trail. Earlier in February, CNRL donated enough firewood to fill the club’s shed by Stewart Lake and to supply its Poker Ride. The 2019 Stewart Lake Poker Ride took place this Saturday, with up to 100 riders expected to meet at the Stewart Lake Trail Head. From there, the group will embark on a 90km trail ride, stopping half way for lunch and a fire. Bueckert has been with the club for 12 years, and says the relationship between industry and club has always been this way. “It’s because most of us come from the industry. During our day job we see one side of the coin, and then during our recreation time we’re on the other side, so it’s really easy to work together,” said Beuckert. The club has many other trails to ride and activities planned for the rest of the season. With the amount of snow and temperatures starting to rise, now is a perfect time to go for a ride on your day off. For information on the club or poker ride, visit the Northland Trailblazers Snowmobile Club Facebook Page. — Pipeline News North

TransCanada gives $50K boost to pipeline bursary program During the TransCanada Economic Summit, Kiel Gidden, TransCanada BC Public Affairs Manager, presented Kim McPhedran, executive director of the Northern Lights College Foundation, with a $50,000 donation to the TransCanada Pathway to Pipeline Readiness Trades Bursary. The bursary assists students in trades programs at the college. Since 2015, it has supported 145 students pursuing a career in trades. More than 70 will benefit from this latest donation. “We recognize the positive impact that the bursaries can have on the students, and we know that investing in skills development is important to northern British Columbians,” said David Pfeiffer, president of the Coastal GasLink Pipeline. “These programs help residents access practical training that prepares them to participate in our pipeline projects and other development projects in northern BC.” Welding students Jadyn Dachuk and James Farnquist have both benefitted from the bursary. The funds not only helped purchase supplies needed for class, but also pay for transportation and dayto-day living expenses. Both agree that they “couldn’t have done it without it.” “The NLC Foundation is incredibly fortunate to have support from TransCanada, an industry leader that stands firmly behind their belief of supporting post-secondary education,” said Kim McPhedran. “Their support of our college and students over the years has improved outcomes for both our programming and our students.” — Pipeline News North FROM 0-100K VISITS FASTER THAN ANY OTHER MEDIA VEHICLE.

PSAC lowers drilling forecast by 1,000 wells The Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) has lowered its forecast for the number of wells to be drilled (rig released) across Canada for 2019 to 5,600 wells. This represents a decrease of 1,000 wells, or 15 per cent, from PSAC’s original 2019 drilling forecast released in November 2018 and reflects the deteriorating investor confidence in Canada, the services group said. PSAC is basing its updated 2019 forecast on average natural gas prices of C$1.45/mcf at AECO, crude oil prices of US$57/bbl West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and the Canada-U.S. and an exchange rate averaging 76 cents. “Lack of access to markets beyond the U.S. delayed again with the quashing of the approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project this year, uncertainty of any future projects being proposed should Bill C-69 be passed, and competitive issues, continue to weigh heavily on Canada’s ability to attract capital investment,” said PSAC president and CEO Gary Mar. Mar added: “While we are excited about the final investment decision of LNG Canada for its Kitimat LNG project, development and production activity to supply the natural gas for the facility is still years away.

“On the oil side, Alberta’s decision to curtail production has caused more uncertainty for investors resulting in producers delaying their spending decisions or moving their capital to other markets. In the meantime, the services sector is already laying off workers and struggling to stay solvent with active rig levels below 40 per cent, down from over 50 per cent at the same time last year, the time of year when activity is normally at its peak, underlining the alarming downward trend of investment.” On a provincial basis for 2019, PSAC now estimates 2,948 wells to be drilled in Alberta, down 16.5 per cent from 3,532 wells in the original forecast. The revised forecast for Saskatchewan now sits at 1,994 wells, down 18 per cent compared to 2,442 wells in the original forecast, while British Columbia and Manitoba are unchanged at 382 and 255 wells, respectively. Mar said: “We must find a way to help Canadians understand how responsibly we develop our oil and natural gas resources so that critical infrastructure projects can proceed. That’s why PSAC is proposing a Canadian energy brand so that Canadians can show how proud they are of our record of robust regulations, high environmental standards, worker safety and human rights. Supplying Canada and the world with the energy it needs will lead to lower global GHG emissions, jobs and prosperity for Canadians, a win-win-win result.” — Daily Oil Bulletin

New lead at helm of BC LNG Alliance From mining to liquefied natural gas: Bryan Cox, president and CEO of the Mining Association of British Columbia, has been tapped to lead the BC LNG Alliance. Starting mid-February, Cox will serve as president and CEO of an organization that advocates for the development of B.C.’s LNG industry. The alliance’s board is chaired by Rob Maier, an executive with Chevron Canada; LNG Canada, Woodfibre LNG Limited, AltaGas Ltd., FortisBC and ExxonMobile are among the alliance’s member companies. “We are very pleased Bryan has joined the BC LNG Alliance as president and CEO,” said Maier in a news release. “He has demonstrated exceptional leadership throughout his career and his recent experience leading the MABC makes him extremely qualified for this position to lead the BCLNGA into a new chapter as a leading industry in B.C. and Canada. Cox joined MABC in 2014 as the organization’s vice-president of corporate affairs, and became its president and CEO in 2017. “Our responsible natural resource industries are the backbone of our country,” wrote Cox in a post on LinkedIn. Cox will assume a role previously held by David Keane, who tendered his resignation in August 2018.

First Nations interested in taking stake in Coastal GasLink nelson bennett News that TransCanada Corp. plans to divest up to 75% of the natural gas pipeline that is part of the $40-billion LNG Canada project is being read by some as one more exit in a greater exodus from Canada’s oil and gas sector by big players, including Canadian companies. After all, TransCanada also recently announced it plans to change its name to TC Energy – a move that some observers read between the lines as a sign that Canada’s brand has become so tarnished with energy and resource investors that even Canadian companies are dumping Canadian assets and scrubbing the Maple Leaf from their letterhead. Jihad Traya, a natural gas analyst for Solomon Associates, doesn’t see it that way. “I don’t see this necessarily as a statement that TransCanada wants away from Canada,” Traya said. “The more diversity of ownership in infrastructure assets in Canada, the much better and beneficial for everyone.” TransCanada announced in October 2018 that the company would seek joint venture partnerships to build the $6.2-billion Coastal GasLink, just as it is also considering a joint venture partnership to build the resurrected Keystone XL pipeline. TransCanada has $36 billion worth of capital spending planned in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.

Karen Ogen-Toews is the CEO of the First Nations LNG Alliance, a society of First Nations in support of responsible LNG development in B.C.

It is worth noting that TransCanada plans to retain at least a 25% stake in the Coastal GasLink project, which is now in the early stages of being built. The timing of the divestment, however, and the way in which it was recently revealed, could be read as a non-confidence issue by Canadian energy hawks who point to divestments as a sign of waning confidence in Canada. TransCanada has stated that it would retain

25% to 50% ownership in the Coastal GasLink pipeline, so it would not be a wholesale divestment. It’s possible that First Nations that support the pipeline could end up taking equity stakes in the project, said Karen Ogen-Toews, CEO of the First Nation LNG Alliance. Twenty First Nations along the pipeline corridor already have signed more than $600 million worth of benefits agreements in support of the project. “The thought of First Nations taking a stake in the Coastal GasLink pipeline is well worth pursuing, since the elected councils of all 20 First Nations on the pipeline route have approved the pipeline, and others have endorsed the LNG Canada project that it will feed,” OgenToews said. “It will obviously take time to explore the potential for First Nations to invest in the Coastal GasLink line. The First Nations LNG Alliance is ready to help, although any decisions will of course be up to each Nation and its people.” Despite unanimous support for the project among elected band councils, a few hereditary chiefs with the Wet’suwet’en recently blockaded roads to prevent pipeline workers form doing their work, resulting in 14 arrests. — Business in Vancouver

OGC launches mediation pilot project The B.C. Oil and Gas Commission is launching a new mediation service to provide an additional level of support for land owners in cases where land owners and companies are not able to agree on remedies for complaints and site restoration post permit. Due to a broadening of the Commission’s role in engagement, the Commission has identified a need for support and processes to bridge existing services for stakeholders during the permitting process and managing differences throughout the full lifecycle of energy activities. The Commission’s new pilot mediation service will aim to resolve issues between land owners and companies. It will be: • • • •

A confidential process with an experienced Commission mediator. Independent of any Commission decision making. A no cost service with no opportunity for funding. Available for land owners and industry who have issues within the Com-

mission’s jurisdiction.

regulatory

This service contributes to the Commission’s values of transparency and responsiveness, and respects those affected by energy resource development. The Commission will be launching this mediation service as a pilot project for one year and will then evaluate its effectiveness and demand. At this time the pilot project is restricted to land owners with activity on their property. In most cases, land owners and external parties will be referred by Commission employees, such as inspectors, who are familiar with the differences between the two parties and recognize mediation may be beneficial. However, if external parties are unsure of whether they qualify for this service or not they can email mediation@bcogc.ca with additional questions. — B.C. Oil and Gas Commission

Rally draws proresource crowd in Prince George mark nielsen Preceded by a convoy of trucks parading through the city’s downtown, a rally in support of resource communities was held outside the Civic Centre in Prince George on Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2019. About 50 people from across Northern B.C., most wearing blue overalls with reflective trim, showed up, many of them holding up signs saying “I ‘heart’ LNG,” “Resource Jobs = Schools” and “Yes to Jobs.” A civil tone was maintained as they heard speeches, kicked off with a bit of cheerleading from the main organizer, David Johnston of the Kitimat-based group TheNorthMatters. “If we look at the history of our great province and great country, what is it that the country’s built on?” he asked while standing in the box of a pickup truck. “Resources!” the onlookers replied. “And what are we going to do to make our northern communities more prosperous and stronger?” Johnston continued. “Work hard,” replied one participant. “Resources are the most important thing in our communities right now for creating opportunities for our families, for our kids and their kids,” Johnston said. “It’s something that we need more of and something we will continue to fight for.” Speakers in favour of pipelines and related development followed. Nechako Lake MLA John Rustad was among them. “I’m proud of the fact that this country and this province was built on our resources,” he said. “The benefits we have, the life we have are all based on the fact that we have been blessed with abundant resources. “We have to make sure that we take care of the environment, we have to make sure that we’re respectful...but at the end of the day, it’s you guys, it’s our families, it’s our communities. That’s why this is important.” Prior to the rally, local MPs Todd Doherty and Bob Zimmer met with the group and posed for photos. Haisla Village elected chief Crystal Smith also spoke. She referred to the benefits the Coastal GasLink pipeline and the LNG Can-

ada liquified natural gas project near Kitimat will bring to the 20 First Nations along the pipeline’s corridor. “The communication needs to be about people,” she added. “Forget systems, forget governments, we need to come back to what we are doing for our people.” The rally was being held as hundreds of business people and politicians had gathered that the Civic Centre for the start of the threeday B.C. Natural Resources Forum and just before B.C. Premier John Horgan was to deliver a speech to the delegates. Johnston, who makes a living as an electrician, maintained TheNorthMatters movement he helped start is completely non-political. “We don’t have any political messaging, we just care about families,” he said. “So these opportunities that are available, when the government sees that there is a mass movement pushing for it, whatever government it is, we’re hoping that it will listen to that mass movement of the majority of people and go ahead with projects.” A handful of local members of the ardently anti-Trudeau yellow vest movement showed up in support but remained muted. And on the steps of the library stood one person bearing a sign saying “Wet’suwet’en Strong, No LNG.” — Prince George Citizen

‘Together For LNG’ campaign launched A Together For LNG campaign is being launched in British Columbia to demonstrate the broad support for LNG in the province. “Blueberry River First Nation is a small community that plays a big role in LNG,” said Judy Desjarlais, president of Topnotch Oilfield Contracting and a member of the Blueberry River First Nation in Northeast B.C. “All the communities in this area have signed off on it. A lot of us own businesses and a lot of us are benefiting from the work that’s happening in our backyard.” B.C. has the opportunity to help the world transition to a greener future, create prosperity at home and greatly reduce the global carbon footprint moving forward. “Squandering that opportunity means lost jobs, lost revenues to get us to green and yielding the field to other, less scrupulous producers,” the group stated in a press release. “LNG not only offers skilled workers the opportunity for employment while building the plant but also the opportunity for apprentices to learn the skillsets from their mentors. We will not only be building an LNG plant, but building career paths for hundreds if not thousands of young British Columbians who want to work in the construction industry,” added Tom Sigurdson, executive director of the B.C. Building Trades. “By unlocking our world class

energy asset, B.C.’s … LNG industry will play an important role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions by helping many Asian countries transition off coal,” said Chris Gardner, president of the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association. “The strategic development of a strong LNG sector will also provide tens of thousands of jobs in construction, maintenance, and operations for people in B.C. and across Canada, and important revenue contributions to all levels of government. LNG is the perfect opportunity for industry and government to work together to achieve great outcomes for Canada.” Paul de Jong, president of the Progressive Contractors Association of Canada, added: “The … [natural gas] that Canada has in such large supply is a key factor in worldwide demand for clean energy. “Strategic development of a strong LNG sector also provides for tens of thousands of construction, maintenance and operations jobs for Canadians, and provides robust contributions to provincial and national GDP. LNG in Canada is the perfect venue for industry and government to work together to achieve great outcomes,” de Jong said. The T4LNG Campaign will provide a “positive, hopeful counternarrative to the opponents of LNG development, who rely on a network of internationally financed organizations to use selective data and halftruths to divide British Columbians on this crucial issue.” — Daily Oil Bulletin
