Nature of the Applications
EnCana Oil & Gas Co. Ltd. (EnCana) submitted an application in accordance with Part 4 of the Pipeline Act for approval to construct and operate four pipelines. Two pipelines would be to transport fuel gas from pipeline tie-in points at Legal Subdivision (LSD) 12 of Section 14, Township 71, Range 7, West of the 6th Meridian and LSD 8-26-71-7W6M to meter stations at LSD 9-26-71-7W6M and LSD 7-35-71-7W6M. These pipelines would be approximately 5.76 kilometres (km) and 1.89 km in length, respectively, and would have outside diameters of 60.3 millimetres (mm).

The remaining two pipelines would be to transport natural gas from wells located at LSD 9-26-71-7W6M and LSD 7-35-71-7W6M to pipeline tie-in points at LSD 12-14-71-7W6M and LSD 8-26-71-7W6M. These pipelines would be approximately 5.76 km and 1.89 km in length, respectively. Both of these pipelines would have outside diameters of 114.3 mm and would transport natural gas with a maximum hydrogen sulphide concentration of 50.00 moles per kilomole (5 per cent).
