NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. – NPS 6 Gregory Northeast Lateral Modifications

Saskatchewan River Crossing during autumn golden hour of the Icefields Parkway

Project Background

The NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) Gregory Northeast Lateral Modifications project is to reconfigure an NGTL customer connection and flow path along NGTL’s NPS 6 Gregory Northeast Lateral located approximately 70km northeast of Brooks, Alberta. The Project consists of three main activities:

  • The installation of a hot-tap connection, which includes the installation of approximately 10 to 20 meters of combined NPS 2 and NPS 6 piping and associated side valve assembly to tie into the existing NGTL NPS 30 North Lateral Extension Loop No.  2 – Cessford Section. This connection will enable continued service on the 3.8km southwest portion of the Gregory Northeast Lateral servicing the NGTL Gregory NE Receipt Meter Station.
  • the isolation of the Gregory Northeast Lateral from NGTL’s NPS 26 North Lateral and NPS 24 North Lateral Loop by installing blind flanges or cap assemblies on the two below-ground side valve assemblies within NGTL’s fenced Blood Indian Creek Receipt Meter Station site boundaries.
  • The decommissioning in-place of the 6km northeast section of the Gregory Northeast Lateral from the isolation location to the hot-tap location.

The Project is located entirely on freehold land and public lands managed by Special Areas Board Area No. 2, within existing NGTL disposition and/or leases. The project does not require the acquisition of permanent new land. Temporary workspace is anticipated to be located on NGTL’s previously disturbed existing rights-of-way.

The planned in-service date is October 2024. The planned completed decommissioning date is November 2024.
