(P&GJ) - Pipeline operator TC Energy's Coastal GasLink pipeline project is more than 80% completed overall, and more than 77% of the construction is finished, according to a company construction update. The $11.2 billion pipeline() project, which will feed natural gas to one of the biggest LNG projects in Canada's history, remains on track to start up later this year. First announced in 2018, the 48-inch (1,219-mm), 416-mile (670-km) pipeline () will transport natural gas to the Shell PLC-led LNG Canada facility on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada's first LNG export terminal. The pipeline will be capable of moving 2.1 Bcf/d (59 MMcm/d) of natural gas with the potential for delivery of up to 5 Bcf/d (142 MMcm/d). "To date, our team has installed nearly 490 km of pipe across the 670-kilometer route, and steady progress is made each day," TC Energy said, according to the Western Investor. "This year, we also safely and successfully completed nine out of 10 major watercourse crossings." Two of the eight sections of the project - Section 1 from west of Dawson Creek to south of Chetwynd and Section 4 from north of Prince George to northwest of Vanderhoof - finished installing pipelines.
