  1. THEALASKA HIGHWAYPIPELINE PROJECT October 19, 2001 Oil & Gas Conference 2001 Fort Nelson, B.C.

  2. Agenda • Overview of Foothills Pipe Lines • The Certificated Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System • Assets of ANGTS • Current Pipeline Description • Benefits to British Columbia • Approach to First Nations Consultation

  3. Acronyms • AHPP -- Alaska Highway Pipeline Project • The broad term referring to the pipeline route from Prudhoe Bay to the B.C./Alberta border • ANGTS -- Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System • Foothills Pipe Lines certificated route for the delivery of North Slope gas to the Lower 48 states • ANGTA -- Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Act • The U.S. legislation passed in 1976 to expedite the building of the Alaska Highway Pipeline • NPA -- Northern Pipeline Act • The Canadian counterpart to ANGTA • ANNGTC -- Alaska Northwest Natural Gas Transportation Company • The company, owned by Foothills and TransCanada PipeLines, that holds the pipeline permits in Alaska

  4. Who is Foothills? • Canadian sponsor of Alaska Highway Pipeline Project and partner in the Alaska segment • Privately held corporation owned by TransCanada PipeLines and Westcoast Energy • Owns and operates the Prebuild portions of the AHPP in Canada • Prebuild currently delivers 3.3 Bcf/d of natural gas to United States • Active in developing northern pipeline projects since 1970s

  5. The Alaska Highway Pipeline Project is Ready Today • Approvals and Certificates in place • Right-of-way largely acquired • Extensive field testing and technology work • Computerized Soils Database • Technical and Environmental Plans filed with FERC and NEB • Tariffs filed with FERC and NEB Foothills and its shareholders have invested time, money and considerable effort to keep the Alaska Highway Pipeline in an advanced state of readiness.

  6. ANGTS Flexible Framework • The ANGTA/NPA framework provides an existing, tested and accepted framework for expediting the delivery of Alaskan gas to the Lower 48 • Canada has repeatedly reaffirmed its intention to fulfill its commitments reflected in the ANGTA/NPA framework • The ANGTA/NPA framework allows for updates to the existing U.S. and Canadian regulatory framework to modify the project, including required shipping capacity, and the use of updated technology • The AHPP sponsors are committed to working with producers and other potential shippers to develop a project that achieves the commercial and economic objectives of all parties

  7. ANGTS Timing • ANNGTC/Foothills was selected by the United States and Canada to construct and operate the AHPP and have secured the following: • ROW on Federal Lands in Alaska • Advanced ROW Acquisition on Alaska State Lands • FERC Certificate • NEB Certificate • U.S. Corps 404 Permits • Yukon Grant of Easement • British Columbia Map Reserve

  8. Alaska Highway Pipeline Project ANGTS Land Tenure Prudhoe Bay ALASKA • Federal Grant • 434 miles have been acquired. • State Application • Approximately 200 miles under active application. • Other Lands • Approximately 110 miles to be acquired. ALASKA Fairbanks Inuvik NUNAVUT Beaver Creek YUKON YUKON • Foothills holds a grant of easement for the entire ROW in Yukon. • Grant of Easement recognized in the Umbrella Final Agreement. Whitehorse B.C. NWT Fort Nelson ALBERTA NORTH B.C. • Foothills holds Map Reserves within this segment of the Project. Boundary Lake Gordondale SASKATCHEWAN Caroline Kingsgate Monchy

  9. ANGTS Advantages • Earliest Timing • Three year head start on a green field project • Land Tenure • Extensive right-of-way acquired • Flexible Framework • Treaty between the U.S. and Canada • Best Route • Follows existing transportation corridors

  10. Best Routing • ANGST is the best alternative for delivering Alaskan gas to the Lower 48 • Has been extensively reviewed • Relies on existing infrastructure • Will minimize adverse environmental effects • Easy accessibility for maintenance and operations • Lowest capital cost option for Alaska

  11. Lowest Cost, Quickest to Market for Alaskan Gas Project Description Size / Operating Pressure 42” diameter / 2050 psi Capacity Initial 2.5 Bcf/d Ultimate 4.0 Bcf/d Capital Cost Initial U.S. $7.6 Billion Ultimate U.S. $9.7 Billion Alaska Nunavut Northwest Territories Yukon Alberta B.C.

  12. More Than 700 Kilometres in B.C. North British Columbia Fort Nelson WatsonLake Gordondale Fort St. John

  13. Significant Regional and Canadian Benefits • New Jobs • Significant Local Business Impact • Opportunities for new Economic Development • Other routes do not provide benefits to British Columbia • Commitment to maximizing regional business and employment opportunities

  14. Business Opportunities • Construction • Trucking, barging, air transport • Winter road construction • Equipment maintenance • Gravel supply • Automotive and fuel supplies • Food services • Accommodations • Manufacture of modular housing • Operations • Right-of-way maintenance • Aircraft leasing for line patrol • Building maintenance • Road grading • Offices supplies and equipment • Water and fuel delivery • Catering and camp servicing
