+++ Details
- NGTL gathers natural gas for use within the province of Alberta. It is also known as the [[[Alberta System Gas Pipeline]]]
- It delivers the gas to provincial boundary points for connection with the Company's [[[Transcanada Canadian Mainline Gas Pipeline]]] and [[[Foothills System Gas Pipeline]]] and with the natural gas pipelines of other companies
- It is one of the largest systems in North America and gathers 66 per cent of the natural gas produced in Western Canada.
- **Merrick Mainline Pipeline Project**
* The pipeline will transport natural gas sourced through the NGTL System to the inlet of CVX/APA's proposed [[[Pacific Trail Gas Pipelines]]] (PTP) that will terminate at the [[[Kitimat LNG Terminal]]]
- **North Montney Mainline Project**
* The Project includes the construction and operation of new facilities and a 301 km sweet natural gas pipeline, 1066.8mm (42-inches) in diameter, connecting NGTL’s Groundbirch Mainline to the North Montney area in northeastern British Columbia. It would also connect to the proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Pipeline and then to a future liquid natural gas plant on the west coast * **Towerbirch Expansion Project** * Addition of 87 km of pipeline and related facilities in northwest Alberta and northeast British Columbia
