Kitsault is located 800 km (500 miles) north of Vancouver, British
Columbia and 115 km (75 miles) north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia,
Canada. It is a purpose-built resource community with complete community
infrastructure and housing for nearly 1,000 residents. With nearly 350
acres of industrial and residential land, full B.C. Hydro service, and
deep water for a port, Kitsault makes both economic and environmental
sense as the preferred location to be the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
terminal site for the export of natural gas from northeast British
Columbia to Asia and other markets. Natural Gas pipeline routing to
Kitsault has already been proposed by others.
All interested parties are welcome to join Kitsault Energy (KE) for
further discussion at The Canadian LNG Exports Multi-Stakeholder
Conference in Vancouver at which Krishnan Suthanthiran, President of
Kitsault Energy, will be speaking on June 19, 2014. Kitsault Energy’s
members are very excited and optimistic about the future of British
Columbia’s LNG exports and are proactively supporting companies and
their staff to facilitate the rapid development of the LNG industry to
serve the local and export markets. Kitsault Energy is offering
necessary infrastructure facilities, housing, recreational facilities,
and utilities to assist B.C. northwest LNG projects.
Kitsault offers many advantages as a dedicated energy corridor, based on
the following:
-
Kitsault is the closest location to the natural gas rich northeast
British Columbia, Canada and northwest Alberta, Canada to establish a
Dedicated Energy Corridor and Export Terminal.
-
It has the infrastructure with 90 houses (three bedroom with basement)
and 150 condos (2 & 3 bedrooms) to house nearly 1000 residents, along
with the necessary recreation center, medical clinic, shopping center,
post office, bank, restaurants, supermarket, etc. ready to occupy.
-
It has full British Columbia Hydro Power service to the entire town
site.
-
It can be accessed by road, multiple airports, water, helicopters,
float planes, water taxi, etc.
-
It has a deep salt water waterway for navigation of tankers, barges,
ships, etc.
-
Sufficient land for FLNG, land based LNG, port, export terminal, and
other infrastructure.
-
It will save two to three years in project planning and in the
construction of pipelines and other facilities.
-
A project using Kitsault can save as much as 5 billion dollars from
the total cost of the project.
-
The pipeline can be shorter by 100 to 200 kilometers, and savings on
this alone can be 1 to 3 billion dollars in cost and 1 or more years
of time.
-
Kitsault is a privately owned Fee Simple Property with 350 acres of
land. Additionally, many thousands of acres of land are available if
needed.
-
Kitsault is located in the Regional District and not a Municipality.
Therefore, industrial and other taxes will be lower with potential
savings of hundreds of million dollars or more per year in taxes alone.
-
Kitsault used to be a molybdenum (used for strengthening steel) mine,
and as a result, extensive environmental assessment has been performed
for the site itself as recently as 2012.
-
The pipeline from northeast B.C. to Kitsault will primarily be along
less populated Crown Land and some First Nation’s land with little
variation in elevation, and therefore causing the least environmental
impact.
-
From Kitsault’s Export Terminal, the tankers, barges and ships can
enter the ocean quickly without experiencing any congestion from
navigation related to other traffic such as containers or grain
loading and unloading as in other ports.
-
Asia will be able to rely for their energy needs on supplies from the
privately owned Kitsault Energy and join as an equity partner to have
a long term contract with a stable and reliable supply at reasonable
prices from Canada - a strong, vibrant and democratic country.
-
The Dedicated Energy Corridor and Export Energy Terminal at Kitsault
will have a tremendous future for other expansion plans benefitting
British Columbia, all of Canada, and Asia.
-
Investments will be made for First Nations communities for purified
drinking water, sewer systems, healthcare, education, job training,
jobs, and housing. Kitsault Energy alongside Best Global Talent Agency
and Best Cure Foundation are eager to participate proactively in
partnership with First Nations.
Kitsault Energy’s multiphase energy project at Kitsault, B.C., Canada
(ranging from 10 billion dollars to 30 billion dollars) will include
Phase 1, a pipeline (48” diameter) from northeast British Columbia,
Canada to Kitsault, B.C., a Floating LNG (FLNG) and Port Facility.
Multistage Phase 1 will allow for KE with its partners to export as much
as 20 million tons or more of natural gas per year in 5 million ton
increments. Phase 2 will include other expansions in the future.
Kitsault Energy is currently in serious discussions with global partners
for this project. Additionally, Kitsault Energy is seeking cost
estimates for the construction of the pipeline, port, terminal and FLNG
ships.
Oil and Gas industries in Canada are likely to spend nearly 10 billion
dollars per month over the next two decades in oil and gas exploration,
infrastructure, production and distribution. In view of this, Best
Global Talent Agency was established recently to meet the growing needs
of various industries for a highly trained and skilled labor force, and
to provide training to First Nations Communities and others for these
high paying jobs. Best Cure Foundation was established in 2007 to make
quality healthcare and education affordable and accessible to all.
Kitsault Energy respectfully requests the Right Honourable Stephen
Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada, the Honourable Christy Clark, the
B.C. Premier and other Provincial Premiers, First Nations Communities,
energy producers, and other political party leaders work together in
making the necessary investments and providing the regulatory approvals,
land easement and use needed to build these infrastructures. Such
investments will create many thousands of high paying jobs for all
Canadians and First Nations Aboriginals.
