Title: Edmonton, Alberta


1
Canadian Energy Update
  • Edmonton, Alberta
  • June 19, 2008

Enbridge Overview
Spain
Colombia
  • Enbridge Inc. is a leader in energy
    transportation and distribution in North America
    and internationally
  • Owns and operates the worlds longest crude oil
    and products pipeline system
  • Owns and operates Canadas largest natural gas
    distribution company
  • Interest in 80,000 km of pipelines
  • Delivers 2 MM B/D of liquids
  • Handles 5 BCF/D of gas
  • Net wind power capacity of 215 MW
  • Employs 5000 people

CO2 Transportation Strategic Drivers
  • The public increasingly sees global warming as
    the cause of calamities
  • Pine beetles
  • Weather phenomena
  • Flooding and drought
  • Industry (particularly energy) is perceived as
  • The largest cause of greenhouse gas emissions
  • Financially capable of a remedy as a consequence
    of high energy prices
  • Legislation will likely mandate direct action
  • Dissatisfaction with overseas offsets
  • Potential for carbon tax
  • CO2 credit costs to exceed 15/tonne
  • CCS for new 2012 oil sands and coal facilities
  • EOR and Sequestration not always proximate to
    major emissions

CO2 Sequestration Pilots
  • Alberta Saline Aquifer Pilot (ASAP)
  • Enbridge, EPCOR and PTAC launched November, 2007
  • 29 participants
  • Government funding identified
  • Project Aquistore-Saskatchewan
  • Petroleum Technology Research Centre

ASAP Project Description
  • Phase 1 2008, 750,000 (Participants 20k/each,
    Federal Provincial)
  • Identify 3 specific saline aquifer locations
  • Design and cost ( 30) a sequestration
    demonstration including CO2 compression and
    transportation
  • Prepare preliminary application for saline
    lease/permit and approval for demonstration pilot
  • Phase 2 2009/12, 30 - 50MM (Technology Funds,
    Participants, Western Economic Dev., Federal
    Provincial)
  • Construct operate demonstration pilot (1000 -
    3000 tonnes/day)
  • Phase 3 2013, 100 - 200MM (Operators for
    commercial return)
  • Expand to commercial operation

6
CO2 Slurry Pipeline
  • Deliver petcoke to SGAD operations and displace
    natural gas for steam operation
  • Petcoke to Ft. Saskatchewan to provide hydrogen
    for refineries and upgraders from coke gas-fires
  • Deliver petcoke/sulphur and limestone to rail
    junctions to access world markets

Conclusions
  • CO2 pipelines to EOR and sequestration a likely
    outcome
  • Must integrate sequestration with EOR
  • Saline aquifers best for large volume
    sequestration
  • Useful work for CO2 could be key to offsetting
    CCS costs
  • Slurry Pipelines delivering coke, limestone and
    sulphur could be a viable alternative for Ft.
    McMurrays CO2 transportation
