2022 Energy Pipeline Construction Outlook
As recently as August, PennEast said it
still hoped to finish the first phase of the
pipeline in 2022, although it still lacked a
water quality certification in New Jersey
and other permits. Originally, PennEast
had hoped to finish the project in 2019.
Canada
In Canada, work is continuing into 2022 on
two high-profile oil and gas pipeline projects
and new and expanded export facilities
on its Pacific Coast.
TC Energy's Coastal GasLink project
continued to make progress and reached
the 50 percent completion mark in the
second half of 2021, despite numerous
delays caused by Indigenous protests and
legal challenges.
Upon completion, the 416-mile pipeline
will deliver natural gas across Northern
British Columbia to the LNG Canada facility
now under construction in Kitimat, B.C.
LNG Canada's Joint Venture Participants
include Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Korea
Gas and Mitsubishi Corporation.
Also in Western Canada, expansion of
the government-owned Trans Mountain
Pipeline is making steady progress. The
expansion is essentially a twinning of
the existing 715-mile pipeline between
Strathcona County, near Edmonton, Alberta
and Burnaby, B.C. It will create a pipeline
system with the nominal capacity of the
system going from approximately 300,000
bpd to 890,000 bpd. Export capacity from
Burnaby is also being expanded.
Mexico
In addition to recent pipeline expansions
that increase the capacity for natural gas
imports from the United States, Mexico has
also been investing in a comprehensive expansion
of its domestic pipelines and power
generating facilities to meet electricity
demand in growing regions of the country.
The Cuxtal Project in Mexico's Yucatan
region is a centerpiece of the expansion.
Energía Mayakan, which has operated
Engie's 497-mile gas pipeline since 1999,
began construction in 2021 of the series
of pipeline expansions. The next phase
will increase pipeline capacity to than
500 MMcf/d to serve five existing generation
plants and two future plants, and the
final phase will extend the Mayakan gas
pipeline to connect the city of Vallaloid
to Cancun with a 106-mile,240 MMcf/d
pipeline. Construction is expected to take a
little more than two years. *
