While many US investors who hold Canadian energy stocks have been understandably focused on TransCanada Corp’s (TSX: TRP, NYSE: TRP) controversial Keystone XL Pipeline project, Enbridge Inc’s (TSX: ENB, NYSE: ENB) Northern Gateway Pipeline is also an important part of Canada’s growth story. And securing its approval has been equally contentious.
But even as the Keystone XL project’s approval remains mired in US politics, the Northern Gateway Pipeline has finally cleared a major political hurdle. Earlier this week, in a surprise announcement, the premiers of the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia announced they had reached a framework agreement for conducting negotiations that are expected to result in the project being allowed to proceed.
The CAD6 billion pipeline would transport an average of 525,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the oil sands in central Alberta to the west coast in British Columbia. That amount would account for one-third of oil sands production, based on 2011 numbers.
