HOUSTON, May 1 -- Canada's National Energy Board will hold a public hearing July 28 on an application by EnCana Ekwan Pipeline Inc., Calgary, to construct and operate a $55 million natural gas pipeline and associated facilities in western Canada.
The proposed 24-in.sweet gas line would extend 51 miles from EnCana Oil & Gas Partnership's Sierra Plant near Fort Nelson, BC to a tie-in on Nova Gas Transmission Ltd.'s northwest mainline 4 km east of the Alberta-British Columbia border near Rainbow Lake, Alta. Pending approval, construction would begin next winter and is scheduled to be in service in April 2004.
