Brian Zinchuk: A big deal in the Bakken for Saturn reminds us that all of this has happened before, and will happen again
Back in 2008, when I was being recruited to become editor of Pipeline News, the Bakken oil play in southeast Saskatchewan was all the rage. That year, the largest Crown land sales in Saskatchewan history totalled over a billion dollars, and that doesn’t even count the...
David Yager: Qatar, Norway and ‘The Trouble with Canada’
That Germany has given up on Canada to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) and instead signed a massive multi-year LNG purchase agreement with Qatar has left many angry and disappointed.
Investment manager and perennial oil bull Eric Nuttall recently visited Qatar and Saudi Arabia and wrote an opinion piece for the Financial Post titled, “Canada could be as green and wealthy as Qatar and Saudi Arabia if government wakes up – Instead of vilifying the oil and gas sectors, Canada should champion them.”
Saskatchewan Research Council: How SRC is using metal smelting for rare earths
Editor’s note: Often behind the scenes, the Saskatchewan Research Council has provided substantial fundamental research to support Saskatchewan business, including the energy industry. Their work in oil and gas, from pipeline labs to reservoir modelling, is significant. Pipeline Online has invited the SRC to submit an occasional column, and this is their first piece, focusing on a key emerging market for Saskatchewan, rare earth elements.
Jim Warren: An Unjust Transition
The cat really is out of bag now. The transition memo leaked last week shows the Trudeau government is prepared to wage war on GHG emissions and is ready to fight until every last good job in Western Canada is gone. It doesn’t matter much or how hard the CBC and Liberal spin doctors try to sugar coat it, federal officials finally got caught saying the quiet part out loud.
Brian Zinchuk: Just as the world cries out for Canadian LNG, “No business case” Trudeau has totally failed us
While the US has moved fast and hard to get LNG export facilities in place over the last decade, Canada has dragged its feet and stubbed its toe. We let protestors (Coastal GasLink), provincial governments (Quebec) and the federal government (Energie Saguenay) get in the way. Now, while the world is crying for LNG from Canada, we have nothing – NOTHING – to give them.
What else would you expect from a government who killed the Northern Gateway and Energy East pipelines? That scared off Teck from its $20 billion Frontier oil sands project? That hardly whimpered when Biden killed Keystone XL?
