Talisman Energy 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 130m cuft/d 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.
