Objectif(s): Imperial Oil Resources Ltd., Aboriginal Pipeline Group, ConocoPhillips Canada (North) Ltd., Shell Canada Limited, and ExxonMobil Canada Properties are continuing baseline studies begun in 2001 as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project. Local knowledge and technical/scientific research, in combination with a synthesis of existing technical information, is being used to develop a suitable knowledge base for planning, assessment of impacts, and development of environmental protection plans. An option of the field development at Niglintgak involves constructing the gas processing facilities for this field on a seaworthy barge in a distant location. The barge would then be transported to a staging area in the Beaufort Sea and then towed through the Mackenzie Delta to the barge set down site in Little Kumak Channel, adjacent to the Niglintgak lease. This portion of the project is for aquatic studies related to the proposed barge option. These studies will include hydrology, acoustical data collection, water and sediment quality, and fish and fish habitat surveys.
