Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Utilization (Oil and Natural Gas)
  • Trade
CONT

Our midstream activities include the upgrading operations, pipeline operations, commodity trading and energy infrastructure projects.

CONT

Husky Energy's midstream operations reflect an extensive portfolio of assets, strategically situated throughout Western Canada, and linked to key transportation systems and markets across North America. Husky established new records in earnings and cash flow contribution from this segment during 2001 by marketing natural gas, crude oil, natural gas liquids and sulphur. Optimizing midstream potential is aided by the extensive heavy oil pipeline infrastructure and heavy oil processing owned and operated by Husky primarily in the bitumen corridor.

OBS

midstream sector: between the "upstream sector" and "downstream sector" of the oil industry.

Record 4 2004-04-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Storage of Oil and Natural Gas
CONT

Natural gas is most commonly stored under pressure in three different types of underground facilities. The most common type of storage facility is depleted oil and natural gas fields. Converting a field from production to storage has the advantage of existing infrastructure such as wells, gathering systems, and pipeline connections. The second most common type of natural gas storage facility is natural aquifers, which are frequently used in the Midwest. Natural aquifers are suitable for gas storage if water-bearing sedimentary rock is overlain with an impermeable cap rock but usually require more base gas than depleted oil fields. Caverns constructed in natural salt deposits are the third most common type of storage facility and are used primarily along the Gulf Coast.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
  • Gas Industry
CONT

There have been no projects to expand California's intrastate pipeline infrastructure over the past several years. As a result, the state's retrieval capabilities were limited and excess natural was left "stranded" at the interstate pipeline systems. These bottlenecks restricted the ability of gas utilities to efficiently deliver natural gas from the interstate pipeline to their customers.
