Alliance Pipeline Finishes '99 On Schedule, Within Budget

摘要

There's just nothing about the Alliance Pipeline project that isn't absolutely huge. First, look at the numbers. The $3 billion ($4.5 Canadian) project is the biggest non-recourse debt financed project in North American history, requiring the participation of more than 40 banks worldwide. The system will cover portions of three Canadian provinces and four states, consisting of 1,858 miles of mainline requiring more than 20 direc-tionally drilled crossings, 434 miles of laterals, 14 mainline and eight lateral compressor stations and a major liquids processing plant near Chicago.
