NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. – Mildred Lake West Sales Meter Station

Project Background

NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) has filed a project application for the Mildred Lake West Sales Meter Station Project. The project involves the installation of a new 2-1010U ultrasonic meter station, with two NPS 10-meter runs, including: two 3.2 m x 15 m skids containing a meter run building and separator; one 2.9 m x 6.5 m instrumentation building skid; approximately 35 m of NPS 10 upstream yard piping from the meter buildings to the lease edge; approximately 115 m of NPS 12 piping to tie-in the meter station to the NGTL System; and approximately 45 m of NPS 10 downstream yard piping from the meter buildings to the customer tie-in. The project also involves associated facility piping, valves, instrumentation, controls, communications devices and pipeline appurtenances. The project will be located approximately 33 km northwest of Fort McMurray, Alberta on Crown land in NE 16-092-10 W4M for the meter station and connection pipe, and on a combination of Crown (SE 21-092-10 W4M, NE 16-092-10 W4M, N ½ 15-092-10 W4M and a portion of SE 15-092-10 W4M) and freehold lands (portion of SE 15-092-10 W4M) for a permanent approximately 1.93 km access road. The Project will require the acquisition of approximately 2.72 ha of new Crown land and approximately 0.15 ha of freehold land. Temporary workspace is anticipated to be required for construction of the project.

The metering facility will establish a connection between the customer’s gas plant to the NGTL System and tie-in on NGTL’s NPS 12 Buffalo Creek Lateral. The Project will have a maximum operating pressure of 9,650 kPa. Project construction is planned to commence in the on 12 September 2023, with an expected Project in-service date in December 2023.
