Description of the Applications
MAGA Energy Ltd.

(Tidewater), for gas produced from the Westlock Field, CMG Pool 001-Viking, Lower Mannville AB09460800160 pool.
The application proposes that the sweet gas delivered from the MAGA Westlock 10-33-059-27W4M Compressor Station and Gas Multi-well Battery would be transported through the Tidewater gas gathering system from Legal Subdivision (LSD) 10-33-059-27W4M to LSD 01-26-054-25W4M. Following transmission through Tidewater’s gas gathering system, MAGA’s gas from LSD 01-26-054-25W4M would then flow through the ATCO Bittern Lake pipeline directly into Tidewater’s Fort Saskatchewan Ethane Extraction Plant for processing.
