US energy giant Exxon Mobil has signed on as a partner in a major pipeline project.
Exxon Mobile has announced a partnership with TransCanada Corporation, in the building of a 26 billion dollar natural gas pipeline through Alaska and Canada.
Â
The 2,700 kilometer pipeline will carry natural gas from Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, through the Yukon, to an end point near Boundary Lake, on the BC / Alberta border.
Â
TransCanada’s proposal was granted a licence from the Alaska government in December, but until today, no producer had committed to the project.
Â
Construction is not expected to begin until 2016 and the pipeline could be in service by 2018.
