Canaport LNG Limited Partnership is a Canadian
limited partnership between subsidiaries of Irving Oil
Limited (25% owner) and Repsol YPF, S.A. (75% owner).
Irving Oil Limited and Repsol YPF, S.A. entered
into definitive agreements in June 2005 to develop a liquefication
natural gas import and regassification terminal in Saint
John, New Brunswick, Canada. The agreements formed a new
company, Canaport LNG, which will construct,
own and operate the terminal.
The Canaport LNG terminal will have an initial capacity
of 1 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas, as provided
in its existing permit. Repsol YPF will be responsible
for providing all of the liquefied natural gas and will
hold the capacity of the terminal. Irving Oil will market
the regassified natural gas in Atlantic Canada, and Repsol
will market the regassified natural gas elsewhere in Canada
and in the U.S.
