HOUSTON, July 5 -- Talisman Energy Inc. has commissioned its 45%-owned Lynx natural gas pipeline, which will gather gas in the Grande Cache area of the northern Alberta Foothills.

The $97.5 million project consists of a 72 km, 12-in. diameter sour gas pipeline and a 72 km, 4-in. diameter fuel gas line extending from the Findley dehydration facility to a new Lynx dehydration facility. It has a nominal capacity of 130 MMcfd of raw gas.

The Lynx system opens about 20 townships for gas exploration, Talisman said. The company has identified 50 prospects and leads on acreage along the pipeline corridor.
