1.0 GENERAL
We all understand the need to ship energy and goods from western, eastern and northern ports in order to better the economy of Canada, as a whole, and to better the economies of territories and provinces. We think we have found the solution, and our intention is to install a pipeline to ship natural gas within Alberta and/or British Columbia, to a northern deepwater port on the north coast near Tuktoyaktuk, NT where a liquified natural gas plant shall process the gas prior to loading on to ships bound for international markets.
The pipeline alternatives will be reviewed to determine the best option and shall comply with all environmental needs set in place by our First Nations peoples and by government regulatory protocols.
This will allow Canadian oil and gas to be shipped out of a Canadian port, for sale to international markets.
2.0 LOCATION SUMMARY – WHY HERE?
Access, on the NT northern coast, for a deepwater port location is critical along with considerations for keeping the port open 365 days per year. The chosen location shall include land-based infrastructure and an ocean port with an access jetty extending to reach deepwater suitable for ship berths.
3.0 PIPELINE
The pipeline is estimated to be 36” diameter extending from existing pipeline networks in either northern BC or northern Alberta. The pipeline proposed route will follow a tundra-based route extending approximately 1270 kilometers to the north coast of NT. It will be built based on designs similar to the Alyeska pipeline that is more amenable to the environment that it has to operate in and keeps the permafrost intact.
The route chosen offers the shortest pipeline length to the final destination.
4.0 FIRST NATIONS – STEWARDS OF THE LAND
This project cannot proceed without asking for First Nation involvement, partnership, environmental stewardship. We believe this buy in has to be ratified at the front end of the project and to this end we will rely on these peoples to determine:
a. if this project is viable with respect to their involvement
b. will it work with respect to integration into the environment (IE the people, the land and the water)
c. will it help or hinder the north way of life
d. will they come on board as partners in both the short and long term for the project and for generations to come.
The Government regulatory process will run concurrent with our First Nation partners but we consider getting approvals from the partners a primary achievement.
5.0 LNG PLANT/POWER PLANTS
An LNG export plant shall be built at the port area and will process and liquify natural gas transmitted to it. The LNG product will be loaded on to ships for transport to foreign markets.
6.0 PORT FACILITY
The port shall consist of a shore-based port maintenance and storage terminal, an approximate 3-5km jetty containing roadway and pipelines from the LNG plant and oil loading lines. Out at the end of the jetty there will be a deep-water ship loading and anchoring port for loading LNG.

7.0 COST ESTIMATE
We estimate this project to be in the region of $30B Cdn.
8.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Our proposal is to design and build a 1270 km natural gas pipeline, between AB/BC, and 245km east of Tuktoyaktuk, NT. It is estimated that this new infrastructure will cost $30 Billion CDN. We will also provide a future power line along the right of way. New power generation and distribution assets will be constructed, allowing further industrial development of the north. This infrastructure will allow residents and business owners to benefit from lower electricity and heating costs. Governments will benefit from reduced subsidies for power generation. The port will serve as a business infrastructure and as a possible defense component.
