Legal Maneuver Could Delay BC Pipeline,LNG Project

摘要

Opponents of the Coastal GasLink pipeline believe they have found a legal mechanism to stop the British Columbia(BC)project in its tracks,raising fresh concerns that the escalating dispute could significantly delay the project's targeted start-up date.If the effort succeeds,it means exports from the LNG Canada terminal that Coastal GasLink would feed are delayed as well,disrupting an already uncertain mid-decade global gas supply picture.A legal adviser for Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs told Energy Intelligence that Coastal GasLink's Achilles heel may be found in how the company handled setting up work camps for crews building the 417 mile,$6.6 billion pipe.
