How to complete: 1. Review the following company profile and read the linked
article:
“All this at a time when global demand for oil and gas continues to grow. Oil
production in the United States alone has increased by two million barrels a
day, to 11 million, which, along with increased global production, is squeezing
Canadian supply even further. Transportation costs, especially by rail, for
lengthy supply chains are an additional burden.
The major problem is the chronic lack of pipeline capacity in Canada that would
enable shipments to markets south, east and west of our borders. Plans have
either been delayed, discarded or rejected outright by policy gridlock in
Ottawa, regulatory delays and erratic, judicial activism. The only plan that is
still alive is the extension of the Trans Mountain line in British Columbia.
When the owner (Kinder Morgan) backed away because of political and regulatory
uncertainties, the government nationalized the project at a cost of
$4.5-billion to taxpayers. Yet, there is still no guarantee that this pipeline
will ever be built.” (BURNEY, D. E. R. E. K., para, 2018)
