Mackenzie Gas Project proposes to develop natural gas fields in the Mackenzie Delta of Canada's Northwest Territories and deliver the natural gas and natural gas liquids to markets in Canada and the United States. The Project consists of five major parts :• three natural gas field production facilities • a gathering pipeline system • a gas processing facility near Inuvik(the Inuvik area facility) • a natural gas liquids pipeline from the Inuvik area facility to Norman Wells • a natural gas pipeline from the Inuvik area facility to northwestern Alberta. 2, record 1, English, - Mackenzie%20Gas%20Project

Le projet gazier Mackenzie (PGM) est un projet sans précédent dans l'histoire du Nord, que ce soit en raison de sa taille, de sa portée ou des possibilités qu'il présente pour les résidants du Nord et toute la population canadienne. Le PGM consisterait en la construction d'installations et l'exploitation de trois champs de gaz naturel dans le delta du Mackenzie, situé dans les Territoires du Nord Ouest; l'établissement d'un réseau collecteur de gaz naturel et de liquides de gaz naturel; la construction d'installations de traitement près d'Inuvik; et l'aménagement de pipelines qui transporteront le gaz naturel et les liquides de gaz naturel vers le sud, le long de la vallée du Mackenzie. 2, record 1, French, - projet%20gazier%20Mackenzie

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. 2, record 4, English, - storage%20facility

Each facility at which royalties are calculated is called a royalty trigger point and is typically a gas plant or gathering system.
