The company’s $1.5bn expansion program for 2009-2013 in the region is on schedule and includes construction of two natural gas processing facilities and its associated natural gas gathering pipelines and expansion of Spectra Energy’s natural gas transmission system.
The expansion program will also include extraction of natural gas liquids in the Montney region, additional natural gas gathering and processing services, and new pipeline transmission capacity for North American markets.
Spectra Energy Western Canadian Operations president Doug Bloom said, "As the industry continues to develop natural gas supplies in B.C. to meet our domestic energy needs, we’re also looking farther afield to Asia where they are looking for increased supplies of natural gas from diverse and stable suppliers."
Spectra Energy expansion program aims to meet the province’s energy needs and also to cater to the requirements of other energy markets in North America.
