Industry spokesmen say they Are poised to begin work on a Gas pipeline system that May eventually link Western Canada with Alaska the Mac Kenzie River Delta and far Northern Arctic islands. Hundreds of millions of Dol Lars have already been spent on exploration and tests. The initial Cost of the pipelines might be As Hegji As billion. If the Northern Gas projects Are realized Canada s exports of natural Gas to the . Could be increased Many times Over. Without the North Ern Gas there would be Little if any increase in exports. To Date the National Energy Board has approved Export of 17.2 trillion cubic feet of Gas. Last it rejected an Export application for 2.7 tril lion cubic feet Over 20 years. That Sale would have been Worth is billion. The Board declared then that Canadian Gas reserves to talled 50.3 trillion cubic feet while Domestic requirements and previously authorized exports for the next 25 years were 51.4 trifle of cubic feet leaving a deficiency of tril lion. Natural Gas has been found in the Mackenzie Delta and Arctic islands Bat the Board refuses to include that in its calculations until the Quanti ties Are defined and the Gas is so can to be within economic reach.

By Orlofsky vice president of the Columbia Gas system inc. And president of Colum Bia Gas development of can Ada Ltd., said initial deliveries of Alaska Gas could be made in 2977, perhaps even 1976. The starting Date for the project depends on an Oil pipeline across Alaska he said. Since Oil and Gas Are in solution on Alaska s Prudhoe Bay the Gas cannot be extracted until the Oil is being produced. Plans to pipe the Oil to alas a s Southern coast and ship it to the Continental . Have been delayed by objections from environmentalists.
