Kitsault Energy: The Best Kept Secret of the Canadian Pacific Gateway Pipeline Advancing Crude Oil and NGL Exports to Asia

OTTAWA, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dr. Krishnan Suthanthiran announced plans to establish Kitsault Energy (KE), a proposed energy corridor located north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada. The project is designed to connect inland energy resources to a dedicated port and terminal at Kitsault, enabling efficient export to international markets. KE aims to facilitate the export of Canada’s abundant crude oil, natural gas liquids, and other key commodities—including potash, uranium, canola, and pulse crops—to Asia and beyond.

The Kitsault site has extensive infrastructure, including housing for up to 1,000 residents and amenities such as a library, recreation options, post office, shopping center, supermarket, bank, restaurants, and a medical clinic. These features make the KE pipelines, port, and terminal project a cost-effective option with relatively low environmental impact.

The scope of the project has since expanded to include construction of a deep-water port at Observatory Inlet. This port would be connected to Kitsault via road and rail and integrated with the Canadian National Railway network, which extends to Port Churchill in northern Manitoba, Canada.

These enhancements would enable both the Observatory Inlet port and Port Churchill to support the export of energy products and other commodities, strengthening Canada’s trade capacity with global markets.

Dr. Suthanthiran feels that Canada and its provinces are losing hundreds of billions of dollars by ignoring this project for the last 13 years. The KE project, with the town of Kitsault and approximately 350 acres of land owned by KE in northwest British Columbia, has tremendous potential to generate tens of billions of dollars for the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the federal government of Canada in addition to creating thousands of high-paying jobs and significant investment in First Nation communities for purified drinking water, sewer systems, housing, medical clinics, and jobs and job training.

Dr. Suthanthiran continues to actively promote the development of the KE pipeline and export terminal through ongoing engagement with stakeholders across Canada and Asia. Since early March, he has held in-person meetings with interested parties in Saskatchewan and Alberta, while maintaining ongoing outreach to stakeholders in Canada, India, and China over the past 13 years.
