Steelhead LNG Names Pipeline VP

Steelhead LNG, which is developing the 24mn mt/yr Kwispaa LNG project on British Columbia’s Vancouver Island, said June 4 it had appointed veteran energy infrastructure executive Corey Goulet its new vice president, pipeline, effective from July 3, 2018.

Goulet brings 33 years of experience to Steelhead, most recently as VP, integrity and projects at Tundra Energy Marketing. He also spent nearly 20 years at TransCanada, including senior leadership positions there, and eight years at Enbridge.

In his role at Steelhead, Goulet will work towards developing and leading the strategy for designing and building the natural gas pipeline that will provide feed gas from western producers to the Kwispaa facility. He will also support Steelhead LNG’s gas supply contracting efforts.

“Steelhead LNG’s low-cost strategy to developing the Kwispaa LNG project combined with its collaborative approach with Indigenous communities, and gas producer-friendly model, make it a leader in natural gas project development in North America,” Goulet said. “When you consider the growing demand for clean Canadian natural gas in Asia and the opportunity Kwispaa LNG offers producers in BC and Alberta, it’s clear the company is poised for commercial success in the market.”

Steelhead is currently assessing pipeline routing options within a proposed pipeline corridor that extends from the Chetwynd area in northeastern BC to the Williams Lake area, southwest to Powell River, subsea across the Salish Sea and terminating at the Kwispaa LNG facility.
