TransCanada, First Nations Reach Agreement -- January 16, 2016

Oil & Gas Journal is reporting:

TransCanada Corp. reported that its Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project has signed long-term agreements with Nadleh Whut’en First Nation and West Moberly First Nations.

The Coastal GasLink project has now secured 11 project agreements and continues to make “good progress” toward concluding deals with other First Nations along the pipeline route, TransCanada said.

Coastal GasLink is proposing to construct and operate a 670-km natural gas pipeline from the Groundbirch area near Dawson Creek, BC, to the proposed LNG Canada LNG export facility near Kitimat, BC.

The project is a key component of TransCanada’s capital growth plan, which includes more than $13 billion in proposed gas pipeline projects.

A "key component" and a big, big deal.
