Alliance Pipeline began operations on December 1, 2000, transporting natural gas through a 3,719-kilometre (2,311-mile) pipeline system that collects gas in northeastern British Columbia and northwestern Alberta, running underground through Saskatchewan, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and terminating in Illinois, the heart of the U.S. Midwest. Alliance delivers more than 1.6 billion cubic feet per day of rich, high-energy natural gas to the Chicago market. With more than 300 dedicated employees across our North American operations, we strive to be good neighbors who support the communities where we live and work, while we seek new business opportunities to transport natural gas, the cleanest burning fossil fuel available today.
