North Yukon conceptual oil and gas development scenario and local benefits assessment

Fekete’s expertise with respect to this project is the calculation of oil and gas volumes present underground, the estimation of production rates and the calculation of the economic value of the production, including royalties to governments/First Nations and netbacks to operators. [...] Resource Potential Comparison The comparatively small size of the Yukon resource potential, in relation to the Alaska North Slope and the Mackenzie Delta/Beaufort Sea, means that development in the North Yukon is unlikely to proceed independently, but will depend upon being able to build a connecting pipeline to either the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline (“MVP”) or the Alaska Highway Pipeline Project (“ [...] The resource size and the proximity of each of the North Yukon basins to potential pipelines were the two factors considered in estimating where oil and gas activity is likely to develop first. [...] Part of the route follows the Dempster Highway for 253 km to the Dawson junction and then follows the Top of the World Highway to Tok. [...] Costs vary according to the type of terrain, the size of the pipe and the amount of compression required.
