Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land,
Texas)--The provincial governments of Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan announced the issuance of a request for proposals for a feasibility study into a new oil and gas pipeline to ports in southern Ontario.
Canadian energy company Enbridge Incorporated (Calgary, Alberta) has a vast network of pipelines running from Alberta to the United States. An expansive artery runs to Wisconsin through Michigan and on to parts of Ontario.
Provincial leaders on Thursday issued the call for a new energy and economic corridor to refineries and tidewater ports in Ontario.
"The last few months have shown that Canada can no longer rely on energy infrastructure that lies outside of our borders and can be shut down at a moment's notice by another country," Ontario Premier Doug Ford said. "It's time for us to build cross-Canada infrastructure within our borders so we can protect our energy security, find new markets for Canadian energy and resources, and create new jobs and opportunities for Canadian workers."
Ford has been one of the more vocal opponents of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. Trump has berated Canadian leaders, suggesting Canada join the United States as the 51st state in the union. Ford, for his part, enacted a tariff in March on electricity sent to the U.S. market.
Canadian leaders have passed legislation that advocates for expanded trade arteries outside of North America in the face of mounting tariff threats from the Trump administration. A blanket tariff rate of 35% was imposed on Canadian goods entering the U.S. market this week, though energy trade has been spared so far.
On Thursday, Canada-based Pembina Pipeline Corporation (Calgary, Alberta) said it approved a USD$100 million optimization plan for the Prince Rupert Terminal on Canada's western coast. The port in June reported shipments of 2.1 million metric tons, a 4.3% improvement over the same time last year.

With Canada looking to tap energy-hungry markets in Asia, port authorities say their terminals are 500 nautical miles closer than other regional ports, saving shippers about 60 hours in travel time.
Elsewhere, Pembina said it secured a long-term agreement with AltaGas (Calgary) for 30,000 barrels per day in exports of liquified petroleum gas from the Ridley Island export facility in northern British Columbia.
The company said Thursday that it was pursuing close to $1 billion worth of proposed conventional pipeline extensions to address growing production volumes from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
Pembina, along with partners Black & Veatch Incorporated (Overland Park, Kansas) and the Haisla Nation, is also working on the Cedar LNG export facility in British Columbia. The floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) terminal could produce as much as 3.3 million metric tons of LNG per day, along with on-site storage capacity.
"Pembina and its partner, the Haisla Nation, recently celebrated the achievement of a major milestone for the project as construction of the floating LNG vessel began with steel cutting on both the top side facilities and the vessel hull," the company said Thursday.

Various interconnections will tie into the Coastal Gaslink network that will deliver gas to the Cedar LNG facility. The FLNG unit will be powered largely by renewable energy, with a completion date set for 2028.
The LNG market can expect a supply glut to 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. U.S. companies also need special permits to send LNG to countries without a U.S. free-trade deal, and it's unclear how U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies would impact those arrangements.
