Alberta, BC Natural Gas Trade Regaining Eastern Market Share on Pipeline Toll Discount

摘要

A deep cross-country pipeline toll discount is enabling Alberta and British Columbia (BC) production to recover its share of eastern markets from American unconventional gas, according to the latest trade record compiled by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Flows changed when TransCanada Corp. made a 46% rate cut on its natural gas Mainline to Ontario, Quebec and U.S. border crossings by implementing a 10-year bargain with Western Canada producers called the Dawn Long-term Fixed Price (LTFP).
