Pipelining from Canada's Arctic Frontiers
The Polar Gas Project was formed in 1972 to find the best means of transporting the natural gas discovered in Canada's Arctic Islands to southern markets, and to do so in a manner that would be economically, environmentally and socially acceptable to Canadians. The participants are: TransCanada PipeLines Limited (Project Manager), Panarctic Oils Ltd., Tenneco Oil of Canada Ltd., Ontario Energy Corporation, and Petro-Canada Ltd. Polar Gas Limited has filed applications to construct and operate a natural gas pipeline. These applications were filed with the National Energy Board and the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development on December 21, 1977. The proposed pipeline route has been studied to determine the social and environmental impacts. 11 figures.
