    • Source: Eagle Spirit Pipeline

      • The Eagle Spirit Pipeline was a $16-billion, First Nations-owned Canadian pipeline proposed in 2018 and 2019 by businessman Calvin Helin which would have shipped petroleum from Northern Alberta to Prince Rupert, British Columbia.


      Background


      The Eagle Spirit Pipeline was a proposed alternative to the previous Northern Gateway Pipeline and Trans Mountain Pipeline. Helin claimed the project had 100% backing from First Nations groups and carried a low risk in comparison to previous pipeline proposals.


      Benefits


      The project had the support of 35 First Nations groups, could have reduced emissions by 100 megatons and potentially have been safer than previous pipeline proposals. The pipeline was estimated to carry 4 million barrels per day (640,000 m3/d) of oil and 10 billion cubic feet per day (280,000,000 m3/d) of natural gas.


      Challenges


      Barriers facing the project were National Energy Board approval, and the tanker ban implemented by the Justin Trudeau government and Bill C48.
