dc.description.abstractAbstract This thesis examines National Energy Board (NEB) decisions, legislation and policy documents regarding access to oil and natural gas export pipelines. The NEB approach to regulation of access to pipelines has changed over time as oil and gas markets have changed. Originally, oil pipelines were entirely common carriers. In the last fifteen years, the NEB has approved new oil pipelines in which the majority of capacity is subject to firm contracts, provided that certain conditions are met. Currently, capacity in oil export pipelines is tight. The thesis recommends that the NEB codify its current approach to access to oil export pipelines, with some minor improvements, to provide certainty and transparency. Natural gas pipelines are contract carriers. As there is currently adequate capacity in natural gas export pipelines, no changes to the NEB approach to access to natural gas pipelines are recommended at this time.en_US
