Emerson Creek Compressor Station Project
Overview
The Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) is one of North America’s most prolific natural gas production basins, and it is of key importance to the Canadian economy. Given the pace of production of natural gas in Alberta and British Columbia (B.C), the most important issue for WCSB producers is getting their product to market.
Natural gas producers requested an increase for natural gas transportation service on the existing NGTL System. To address this need, the Emerson Creek Compressor Station was constructed and is now in service.
Emerson Creek Compressor Station
The new Emerson Creek Compressor Station, located approximately 40 km northwest of Edson, Alberta, includes two 30-megawatt (MW) compressor units.
