Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As tariff and trade disputes continue to roil the relationship between the U.S. and Canada, the latter is finding new customers for its energy products outside North America--and is boosting its oil- and gas-producing capacity correspondingly. Industrial Info is tracking more than US$21 billion worth of projects across Canada's Oil & Gas Industry that are slated to begin construction during the fourth quarter, with the investment almost evenly split between projects in Alberta and British Columbia.
British Columbia accounts for the largest number of Oil & Gas Pipeline projects with a strong likelihood (81% or higher) of kicking off as planned from October through December. Fortis Incorporated (St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador) leads among developers of these projects, thanks largely to its Eagle Mountain to Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project, which is designed to carry up to 200 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas about 30 miles, from an area northeast of Vancouver to the Woodfibre LNG Liquefaction Plant near Squamish, which has been under construction for the past year.
The Woodfibre LNG plant is designed to process 220 million standard cubic feet per day of gas into as much as 2.1 million metric tons per year of LNG, via two production trains. Natural gas fed to the facility will be compressed at stations in Coquitlam, Port Mellon and Squamish. Like the pipeline itself, these compressor stations are scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2026. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Oil & Gas Project Database can read detailed reports on the Woodfibre LNG plant, the pipeline, and the stations in Coquitlam, Port Mellon and Squamish.
"At the end of the day, infrastructure is going to be needed across our sector--and frankly, everyone that serves our sector," said David Gerard Hutchens, the chief executive officer of Fortis, in a recent quarterly earnings-related conference call. "So, if there's additional gas needs for generation, there's likely going to be additional pipeline needs as well."
Enbridge Incorporated (Calgary, Alberta), another leading Canadian pipeline developer, is boosting capacity on its BC Pipeline natural gas transmission system with a US$57.8 million expansion of its Mackie Creek (CS N5) Compressor Station in Peace River, British Columbia. The expansion could add as much as 150 million standard cubic feet per day of capacity to the 3.6 billion-cubic-foot-per-day system, which is managed by Enbridge subsidiary Westcoast Energy Incorporated. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
Nova Gas Transmission Limited, a subsidiary of TC Energy Corporation (Calgary), leads among developers of pipeline projects in Alberta. Nova is preparing to begin construction on a 17-mile, US$43.36 million inland loop near Andrew, Alberta, which will carry up to 150 million standard cubic feet per day. Nova also plans to install a 10.5-mile, US$25 million loop from Lac La Biche to an area near Leming Lakes, Alberta, to carry up to 100 million standard cubic feet per day from a compressor station to an existing lateral line. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the loops originating in Andrew and Lac La Biche.
A growing amount of natural gas sourced in Canada is going toward liquefied natural gas (LNG) production. While the U.S. is the world leader in exports of LNG, Canada's has a clear advantage in exports to Asia thanks to its LNG Canada facility.

On the production side of the industry, Athabasca Oil Corporation (Calgary) is preparing for a US$1.2 billion expansion of its Hangingstone production field and processing plant near Fort McMurray, Alberta. The company plans to drill multiple dual-horizontal well pairs and build a second central processing facility, raising bitumen production to 52,000 barrels per day (BBL/d). Production currently is about 8,900 BBL/d, following the startup of two extended reach well pairs in March. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
Since mid-2024, Canada's crude oil export capacity has been bolstered by its expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline, with about 80% of the volume committed to long-term contracts. For more information, see September 5, 2025, article - Trans Mountain Continues to Be Boon to Canada.
