TransCanada is planning to take over the U.S 3 party gas pipeline operator.

From the past two weeks, I have been reading this news in many website’s article about that the TransCanada is going to take over the U.S. gas pipeline i.e. Columbia pipeline. So suddenly this news attracts me and I wanted to go deep down about what exactly about this deal and how does it make any difference in supply chain industries especially in oil supply chain industries in up north side of Canada. So when I have read lot of articles I have got to know about that this deal is not final yet but if it will happen it’s going to be $10 billion deal between both companies. (News, 2016)
So let’s take a look at the both companies and where they are currently standing
…show more content…
Initially they are going to spend a lot of capital as an investment to cover up the north western part of Canada (British Columbia) whereas, Columbia pipeline has a good setup in the area of Pennsylvania and the northeastern part of U.S. and if both company wants to reach the maximum areas of the countries they should utilize the each capital to their pipeline network though TransCanada is wailing to provide the help to Columbia pipeline …show more content…
TransCanada also utilize the storage facilities of Columbia Pipeline network so it might beneficial for the suppliers so they can easily supply tons of barrels of oil and gas in a day with new pipeline capacity to accommodate the need of oil in northeastern part Canada.

If you take my opinion about this deal which may happen in near future so to be honest I think this deal is the alternative of Keystone XL project which was rejected by U.S federal two years back and if this deal will happen it might create a lot of buzz in the oil industries especially in supply chain industries because from the past 1 year TransCanada is really trying hard to expand the network to lower down the price of crude oil or oil shale and wanted to lot transportation of oil shale from U.S. to Calgary and improve the oil supply chain industries. TransCanada has to invest lot of capital initially but after that this project will be the most cost effective project for them to transport oil shale from the basins of Calgary and refine those oil shale in U.S. Once they will be expertise in this operation so it will be beneficial for customers because they are the end user of

    If more labour and investment is required to extract resources, an equal amount, or more, is required to meet Canada's increasingly urgent infrastructure needs. Nevertheless, oil and gas extraction accounted for two-thirds of Canada’s capital spending growth and later made up more than one-quarter of the country’s capital spending. Although lowering tariffs, and allowing free-trade can promote international trade and expand towards foreign markets, the trades of goods has been shrinking. With advancements in recent technology, people aren’t able to predict the future of global economic…

    The recent coalition of these various groups derives from a singular plan of preventing the pipeline from being implemented, in order to prevent oil from Alberta reaching an international market. Without the oil being utilised in a more efficient manner, the American oil companies are able to monopolize the international market and retain all revenue streams for themselves. Furthermore, with Canadian oil being landlocked we are forced to sell it to the United States for a discounted rate as result, which is exactly what the American Oil companies want, “They’d like to keep Canadian oil in the ground and, alternatively, they want to keep Canadian oil landlocked. Because we can’t reach overseas markets, our landlocked oil is sold at a huge discount to customers in the U.S.” - Suzanne Anton, the Minister of Justice (British Columbia). The revenue that Canada is expected to receive from the Kinder Morgan project would compete with the American Oil Companies, and take away from them.…

    Perhaps one of the most widely debated topics, in recent years, is the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. The completion of the project has been done in multiple phases and one of the last phases scheduled to be completed is the phase 4 extension. This extension would create a pipeline that would trek, around 2000 miles, from Alberta Canada to the gulf coast of Texas (Friends of the Earth). Since the pipeline would cross international borders, approval from congress would be necessary in order to begin construction (NPR). The two main issue points on the topic are the economic gains that could incur from the development of the pipeline and the overall impression on the environment that would ensue from extraction, transportation, and refining of the oil.…

    Of course President Trump, whose pockets have only deepened since becoming president, approved the addition of the 1,179 miles worth of pipeline. While TransCanada leaders bathe in tubs of money; cities and ecosystems experience toxic emissions from tar sand transport, children and animals are more likely to get cancer. The money obsessed corporations who destroy our ecosystems without batting an eye need to wake up and realize there are ways to provide renewable energy and still make their precious money. TransCanada and other oil giants alike will learn of how horrible such disasters can be, and this wake up call shall be orchestrated by…

    This opened doors to the insecurities of the Canada- U.S. relationship as well as questioned the rhetoric of the energy policy of the United States (Kalen 5). Many people were torn as to whether the risk of the pipeline would outweigh its potential benefits. There were concerns of the environment as well as the effect on gas prices (Terry 61-62).

Although the pipeline would represent just a small portion of the 2.6 million miles of oil pipelines that currently exist, many have aggressively debated this topic for an extensive amount of time (“Keystone” 1).…

    National Oilwell Varco: Buy the Drop Oil and gas equipment services provider National Oilwell Varco (NOV) has declined to its 52-week lows after losing half of its value on the stock market this year.
