  4. Customer requirements Customer Service • Safety Excellence • Environmental Stewardship • Cost Effective • Reliability of Operation • Stakeholder Relations • Creative and Innovative • “World Class” Service

  5. PrudhoeBay Anchorage Inuvik Whitehorse Norman Wells Yellowknife Edmonton “Northern” Pipeline Challenges Unique “Northern” P/L Issues • Capital Cost • Geography, Remote Access • Permafrost Enbridge Northern Expertise • Norman Wells Pipeline • Inuvik Gas Experience Applied to the Future • Sub-surface construction in permafrost • Pipeline integrity monitoring • Innovative cost reduction opportunities Enbridge is route neutral

  6. Northern Expertise • Built 1985  only major pipeline in NWT Alaska Inuvik • Right-of-Way =869 km(540 mi) • Pump stations = 3 • Pumps = 6 • Employees = 20 • 2000 payroll = $1.5M • 2000 capital costs = $568,000 • 2000 property taxes = $1.4M • 2000 power costs = $760,000 Norman Wells Norman Wells Pipeline Zama

  7. Northern Expertise • Involved in production, processing, transmission and distribution of northern natural gas to town of Inuvik. Alaska Inuvik Gas Cdn $44 million project: • Two wells • Production facility • 50 kilometre pipeline • 25 km distribution system • 500th customer Aug. 2001 • Owners • Inuvialuit Petroleum Corp. • AltaGas Services • Enbridge Inuvik Norman Wells Zama

  8. Northern Pipelines - Operations • Integrity Management in permafrost • Geo-pig % Strain vs. Time for Slope 92 3.5 3 2.5 2 Strain 1.5 1 0.5 0 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 Year

  9. Northern Pipelines - Operations • Geo-pig • scheduled pipeline repair

  10. Northern Pipelines - Maintenance • access equipment • pipeline repair techniques

  11. The “Measured Approach” Build two smaller lines “consecutively” in the same right-of-way

  12. The “Measured Approach” BENEFITS • Cost estimates 48-inch vs. 2x36-inch within 7% • Reduced project risks • Socio-economic benefits • Improved schedule for first gas to market • Pipeline capacity better matched to market needs Build two smaller lines “consecutively” in the same right-of-way

  13. Success requires: • Continental decision-making • Robust project economics • A Producer decision to proceed • Common understanding • Cooperation of all stakeholders
