Ottawa eyes Arctic gas pipeline feasible within two years
Ottawa officials say a pipeline to carry natural gas from the Arctic Islands to U.S. markets could be feasible within two years. Panarctic Oils’ Ellef Ringnes Island discovery raises Arctic reserves to about one third of the needed total, with the rest expected soon. A seabed burial would be required to cross ice and deep channels, and multiple channels would need crossing to reach the mainland and New York markets.
