Record 3 2011-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surveying
CONT

... the Norman Wells oil pipeline route followed existing cutlines as far as possible. Since degradation of permafrost had already occurred in places beneath these cutlines before pipeline construction, the amount of subsidence observed following construction was less than might have been expected had the Norman Wells oil pipeline followed an entirely new route.

Key term(s)
  • cut-line

French

Domaine(s)
  • Arpentage
CONT

[...] le tracé de l'oléoduc Norman Wells suivait les bandes défrichées existantes dans la mesure du possible. Puisque la décomposition du pergélisol s'était déjàproduite à des endroits en dessous de ces bandes défrichées avant la construction de pipeline, l'ampleur de l’affaissement du sol observé au cours de la construction a été inférieure à ce que l'on aurait pu prévoir si l'oléoduc Norman Wells avaitsuivi un tracé entièrement nouveau.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Conventions, Treaties and Agreements (Documents)
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
OBS

The shippers on the Pipeline will, upon demonstration that an amount of Canadian gas equal on a British Thermal Unit(BTU) replacement value basis will be made available for contemporaneous export to the United States, make available from Alaska gas transmitted through the Pipeline, gas to meet the needs of remote users in the Yukon and in the provinces through which the Pipeline passes. Such replacement gas will be treated as hydrocarbons in transit for purposes of the Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America concerning Transit Pipelines, hereinafter referred to as "the Transit Pipeline Treaty".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Titres de conventions, de traités et d'accords (Documents)
  • Transport du pétrole et du gaz naturel
OBS

Quand il sera démontré qu'une quantité de gaz canadien équivalente selon un calcul de la valeur de remplacement en B.T.U. (British Thermal Unit) s'avérera disponible pour exportation simultanée vers les États-Unis, les expéditeurs utilisant le Pipe-line prélèveront sur le gaz de l'Alaska transporté par le Pipe-line une quantité de gaz suffisante pour répondre aux besoins des consommateurs éloignés au Yukon et dans les provinces sur le territoire desquelles passe le Pipe-line. Ce gaz de remplacement sera considéré comme des hydrocarbures en transit aux fins de l'Accord entre le Gouvernement du Canada et le Gouvernement des États-Unis d'Amérique concernant les pipe-lines de transit, ci-après appelé «le Traité sur les pipe-lines de transit».
