Canada seeks more energy exports to India, less dependence on US
Canada's search for alternative destinations, including India, China and Japan, for its trove of hydrocarbon resources coincides with India seeking stable supplies of oil and gas to augment its own, relatively limited, energy resources, which currently satisfy less than a quarter of its requirement.
Energy group proceeds with $45bn Alaska pipeline to export LNG to Asia

Alliance receives regulatory approval for proposed Bakken gas pipeline
The Tioga pipeline should be running by mid-2013. Although new drilling technology has greatly boosted hydrocarbon production in the Bakken, in North Dakota's Williston Basin, a lack of pipelines has led oil producers to resort to rail cars to move product and gas producers have had to burn excess product.
New pipelines could worsen US natural gas glut
A recently-released report finds that new natural gas pipelines being introduced later this year could add to the supply glut in the US. Department of Energy data show that there are approximately 1,000 Marcellus shale wells that are uncompleted due to a lack of pipeline access.
Statoil suspends planned Snøhvit LNG expansion
Norwegian oil and gas major Statoil ASA said the owners of the Snøhvit natural gas field have decided to cancel work on a possible increase in gas export capacity from its LNG plant at Melkøya, as current gas finds do not provide the basis for further capacity.
