Mackenzie Gas Project Office (MGPO)

The proposed Mackenzie Valley Gas Project (MGP) would involve the development and operation of three natural gas fields in the Mackenzie River delta in the Northwest Territories, and associated infrastructure such as a gathering system, compressor stations and pipelines, to move the natural gas and natural gas liquids southward along the Mackenzie Valley..

A coloured, illustrated map of the Northwest Territories shows the three anchor fields and the proposed pipeline route which begins north of the town of Inuvik in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the Mackenzie River Delta. The proposed route heads south generally following the Mackenzie River through the Gwich'in Settlement Area, near the town of Norman Wells in the Sahtu Settlement Region, close to the community of Fort Simpson in the Dehcho Region where it stops following the Mackenzie River heads south towards the Alberta border. Not all communities along the pipeline route are shown on this map. A small legend on the page identifies the production site and Significant Discovery Licence (SDL) areas: Niglintgak and Taglu are along the coast in the Beaufort Sea, and the Parsons Lake field is further inland in the delta. All these sites are north of Inuvik.
