Who is Foothills? Sponsor of Alaska Natural Gas
Transportation System
Privately held corporation owned by TransCanada PipeLines and Westcoast Energy
Owner and operator of the Phase I portions of the ANGTS in Canada Phase I currently delivers 3.3 Bcfd of
natural gas to United States
Active in developing northern pipeline projects since 1970s
Acronyms AHPP -- Alaska Highway Pipeline Project
ANGTS -- Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System
ANGTA -- Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Act
NPA -- Northern Pipeline Act
ANNGTC -- Alaska Northwest Natural Gas Transportation Company
A Short History of ANGTS 1976 - ANGTA passed to expedite the pipeline
to take Alaska gas to southern markets
1977 - After extensive review of three alternatives, ANGTS is selected as the best project
1978 - NPA established in Canada as ANGTA counterpart
1980 - FERC/NEB approves building of Phase I of ANGTS
1981 - Phase I in service --Phase I portion of ANGTS has delivered
11 Tcf of Canadian gas to U.S. markets
ANGTS Flexible Framework The ANGTA/NPA framework
Provides for expediting the delivery of Alaskan gas to the Lower 48
Is tested and accepted framework
Allows for updates
Allows Project to be modified to the required capacity and pressure and the use of updated technology
ANGTS Status ANNGTC/Foothills was selected by the
United States and Canada to construct and operate the ANGTS
Significant assets have been secured FERC and NEB Certificates U.S. Corps 404 Permits Significant development work

Our Perspectives on Northern Gas Development
Strong gas demand is here to stay
Two separate pipelines will be built from Alaskan North Slope and Mackenzie Delta
- Producers - Pipelines- First Nations - Local communities- Governments - NGOs
Collaboration is critical to early project execution
