NGTL Pipeline Work Seen Not Impacting Natural Gas Prices as Winter Wraps

Natural Gas Intelligence · last updated

TC Energy Corp. is ramping up planned maintenance on the Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) system in Canada, timed with the onset of the slower shoulder season demand period to minimize the impact of outages on prices.

The first round of work is a nearly three-week project on the Berland River A1 compressor station running until March 19. Citing high system utilization during maintenance, NGTL in late February zeroed out interruptible receipt capacity along seven pipeline segments in the Greater Upstream James River (USJR). Firm capacity is unaffected.

The Berland River A1 station, like much of the NGTL network, sends gas south toward East Gate (EGAT) and West Gate (WGAT) delivery points in southern Alberta. TC’s NGTL and Foothills systems connect most of Canada’s natural gas production, centered in Alberta and British Columbia (BC).
