About
Are you positioned to capitalize on the emergence of Western Canada's
next great energy hub?
North America's demand for natural gas is steadily increasing in the
face of dwindling domestic supply. "Feeding the beast" is going
to mean that LNG must become a reality.
British Columbia is poised to launch two major terminal projects along the
Northern Corridor. With several major pipeline projects scheduled in the region,
Kitimat is quickly becoming a major energy centre BUT there are unique challenges
to developing these projects on the West Coast and ever increasing competition
from foreign markets for energy supply.
What infrastructure, construction and workforce development is going to be
required to complete these projects? What economic factors will ensure LNG
terminals can secure supply for the markets they propose to serve? How do you
engage and involve Aboriginal groups and local stakeholders to win support
and provide sustainable development opportunities in the region while keeping
your projects moving forward?
The Canadian Institute's BC LNG Forum publication will address these challenges
and more through the conference materials from the expert faculty of speakers and industry leaders.
Benefit from an examination of the operating environment in British Columbia
and the future on North American gas supply through in-depth discussions on:
- When is LNG coming to the West Coast, and what impacts will it have?
- Updates and economics of LNG projects proposed in BC and the US
- Marine safety and transportation
- The environmental assessment process at provincial and federal levels
