“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
Editorial: Pipeline Online marks one year, a year where energy has been the story worldwide
I was sitting with my wife at a restaurant last week and I had a little fun with her.
Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
“Big day next week. Do you know what it is?” I asked.
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK brian.zinchuk@pipelineonline.ca
omies, our jobs. Fourteen years ago, environmental and Indigenous concerns seemed on the margins. Now they seem like the only concerns. The pendulum is swinging.
Not only was Saskatchewan setting electrical consumption records during the cold snap of last week of December, we also set two consecutive natural gas consumption records, too.
She wracked her brain, as it wasn’t our anniversary, and her birthday is at the end of the month. So what could it be? After several incorrect guesses, Michelle asked, “Is that the day you launched your website?”
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Indeed, Oct. 4 is the one-year anniversary of Pipeline Online going live. And that’s a big deal, because the common wisdom is 90 per cent of business fail, 10 per cent of which fail in their first year.
According to SaskEnergy in a Dec. 31 release, “Extreme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week resulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas consumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.
What a year it’s been.
“A new daily record of 1.62 PJ was set on December 28 and broken again on December 29 with total system delivery of 1.64 PJ. Delivery numbers for December 30 and 31 are not yet finalized, but are also expected to exceed 1.6 PJ.”
I branded Pipeline Online as “Saskatchewan’s Energy News.” I never would have expected how important that broader spectrum would become.
That’s because energy isn’t just oil and gas. It’s coal, and wind (or lack thereof). It’s power production and lithium. And even helium and solution potash mining are a big part, because they all use the same drilling and service rigs, and other supports, that come from the oil industry.
The natural gas records coincided with record power consumption. On Dec. 29, SaskPower set another record in power consumption for Saskatchewan. At 5:27 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2021, Saskatchewan homes and businesses reached 3,868 megawatts (MW) in power use, according to the Crown corporation. The previous record of 3,792 MW was reached four years ago to the day, on Dec. 29, 2017.
Saskatchewan’s power production has increasingly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload
I never would have expected to be writing about Federated Co-operatives Limited’s intention to build carbon capture and a renewable diesel plant, using canola oil. Nor did I expect such efforts would be driven by a little-known Clean Fuel Standard. You can thank the tireless efforts of former Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre for that.
And I have to say, there is a genuine effort from nearly everyone I’ve dealt with in Regina to actually care about energy. That includes the current Energy Minister, Jim Reiter, Premier Scott Moe, and SaskPower critic Aleana Young.
Energy is the story
But more importantly, energy is THE STORY of our modern day. How we create it, store it, use it. How it impacts our lives, our econ-

plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.
All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.
The Crown noted that increased demand from SaskEnergy’s industrial customers, including natural gas use for power production, was the main driver of this week’s record-setting consumption.
And the war in Ukraine has focused our minds, sharply, on energy. In the past few days, two major pipelines mysteriously blew up in the Baltic Sea. Europe is concerned about freezing this winter, while their economy is going through one of the worst energy price shocks ever. That’s leading to European industries shutting down due to energy poverty.
And yet here, in the prairies, we’re going to shut down coal, maybe eventually build nukes, but in the meantime, hope that wind will save us. Except that yesterday (Sept. 28), wind power in Alberta dropped to 1 per cent output and the province declared a “grid alert.” A few days later, it dropped to 0.2 per cent.
SaskEnergy said it measures daily natural gas consumption for the 24-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A PJ is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. An average Saskatchewan home consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas each year.
“SaskEnergy’s natural gas system design can accommodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Throughout the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In addition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”
We’ve got a federal government that has decreed a carbon tax that will hit $170/tonne, and that we won’t be able to buy new gas or diesel light vehicles past 2035. But where’s that power going to come from? How much will we need? How is our increasingly fragile grid going to be built out, reinforced and powered? These are all questions I am working on every day.
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
Asking the hard questions about the future of clean coal in Estevan and Coronach. Someone needs to ask the hard questions. The questions CBC and CTV won’t. Like what are we going to do when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine?
So was it a good time to launch a news site focusing on energy in Saskatchewan? You’re damned right, it was.
Roll credits
When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.
I need to thank several people.
I must thank my advertisers. Without them, my kids wouldn’t eat. They’ve been steadfast and supportive. Many advertise particularly because they want to support the efforts of what I’m trying to do here, and for that I’m forever grateful.

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
As for individuals, first off is Jason Coutu. Back in the 90s, he and I were best friends who both flunked out of university at the same time, so we went pipelining. We then tried to launch a virtual reality training simulator to teach people how to operate heavy equipment. Everyone said great idea, huge market, we won’t give you money. Twenty-odd years later, they now have several of these simulators at Southeast College.
Well, Jason went back and finished his computer science degree, then his masters degree. He’s steadily worked his way up in Saskatoon’s high-tech sector. But despite being the best father I know on the planet, involved in multiple sports, and his normal job, Jason took the time to build and support my entire website. Without him, this never could have happened.
Chris Neitling has been my sage forever. I got him into pipelining 25 years ago when I got bounced off the tailgate of a foreman’s pickup truck. Now he makes something like 10x what I do. Like Jason, we’ve been best friends for decades, and there’s very little I do without his counsel.
Similarly, Jon and Caroline Gillies in Weyburn have been steadfast in their support, usually for a shoulder to cry on. The same goes for Angela and Michael Zwaagstra of Steinbach.
My columnists have been a treasure, allowing me to slot one of them in when I was out in the field or otherwise occupied. Brian Crossman’s down-to-earth pieces have been extraordinary. His column on being a new hire should be required reading for anyone entering the oilpatch. Steve Halabura’s brought a geologist’s keen eye to new plays and ventures – which could be considered the theme of this past year.
David Yager’s still the best writer in the oilpatch, period. Peter Linder’s musings of an ex-oil and gas analyst have provided insight into corporate dealings.
Douglas Tompson told us to be good to the cook, because you never know when they might become the boss.
Murray Lyons, who gave me my very first newspaper job that did not involve delivering them, has shown insight from the nuclear industry, something that will be of ever-increasing importance in this province.
I met Tracy Klotz and Kurt Price in three dimensions for the first time at the recent Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show. We hit it off so well, it was like we’ve known each other for years.
Similarly, I finally got to shake Quick Dick McDick’s (Dickson Delorme’s) hand at the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show in Weyburn
back in June. Again, it seemed like we’ve known each other for years.
Jim Warren is a rare thing at the University of Regina – a professor that doesn’t lean so far to the left that he might fall over.
Finally, even former Premier Brad Wall has from time-to-time made the effort to grace this site with op-ed pieces. Carrying that has been a huge honour.
John Gormley on CJME/CKOM has been kind enough to have me on his show on a monthly basis. The Frontier Centre for Public Policy, run by Peter Holle, has recently starting carrying some of my pieces.
Kate Winquist of Your West Central Voice has been kindly running Pipeline Online stories on her pages.
My professional team consists of John Billesberger, my lawyer who made incorporation seem easy. Carol Sylvestre is my accountant extraordinaire. Jackie Beaulieau’s been my wonderful banker at the TD, and her team are all great. My right hand in financial dealings is Brandy Cullen of SE Bookkeeping Services, without whom I would have about three hairs left on my head and at least two more heart attacks.
Brant Kersey, Richard Saddick, and Peter Ng provided wisdom and encouragement in launching this thing. Fay Bonthoux helped out with some of the initial ad building.
The financial support of my parents – Phyllis and Brad Stroud, and Lorne Zinchuk, is what got this thing off the ground in the first place. They’ve also provided the needed shoulder to cry on at times.
My kids have been wrangled in as well. Katrina got dragged out of school to be camera operator at the oil show, and Spencer did the same when Pierre Poilievre came to Estevan. Both got saddled with doing bank runs. Katrina poured through analysis of the first 1,200 followers on LinkedIn, and will soon be doing the next 800. Spencer now posts a lot of the Canadian Press content which helps provide national and international content. We’re like a Chinese restaurant, you see. Everyone works.
Finally, my wife, Michelle, has been there through thick and thin. She’s put up with me working until 2 a.m. on a regular basis, heading out of town for conferences, and keeping us fed through the very lean times of being a startup. She is my rock.
I would like to thank you, the reader. Thank you for taking notice. Thank you for sharing or commenting. It really does help. And thank you for supporting the only media source that truly gives a damn about the Saskatchewan energy sector.
Brian Zinchuk, Editor and Owner, Pipeline Online
Q:Have they decided yet who will be performing in the Super Bowl halftime show next year? I hope it’s a classic rock band like The Rolling Stones. Have they ever played it before? — N.N.
A:TheRolling Stones were the featured halftime performers for Super Bowl XL, which took place on Feb. 5, 2006, at the home stadium of the Detroit Lions. They performed several of their classic songs, including “Start Me Up” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band finished out the decade.
The 2010s started off with The Who, followed by pop stars like Madonna, Lady Gaga and Beyonce, among other big names. Last year’s show was a return to retro, with ’80s rap stars like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre delighting fans at the halftime show.
Rumor had it that Taylor Swift would be the next pop star to grace the stage, but within a day, it was officially announced that Rihanna would be next year’s Super Bowl headliner instead. Rihanna is no slouch, as she’s sold more than 60 million albums and topped the charts with 14 singles throughout her career. Her fans have been clamoring for a new album from her and a worldwide tour, but in the meantime, this will have to suffice. Super Bowl LVII will take place on Feb. 12, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona.
Q:Will there be another season, or more, of the Netflix show “Dead to Me”? I love that show, but just realized it’s been a long time since the last season finale. I hope it didn’t get canceled. — D.T.
A:Yes, it’s been a long time — two years, in fact — since any new episodes of “Dead to Me” were available for streaming, but fortunately, there will be a third season. According to Deadline.com, the reason for the long hiatus was twofold: In addition to the pandemic halting production, it was also delayed after Christina Applegate was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Q:I was surprised to see Steve Carell in another show, and it’s not a comedy. What happened to “Space Force”? — T.M.
A:“Space Force” had all the elements for another hit by producer Greg Daniels. He was teaming up once again with Steve Carell, the former star of his cult hit comedy series “The Office,” and he had a super talented supporting cast that included Lisa Kudrow (“Friends”) and Ben Schwartz (“Parks and Recreation”). Alas, it just didn’t click with viewers, and the series was canceled by Netflix after just two seasons.
Carell has already moved on with a new series, a suspenseful drama on Hulu, in which he plays a therapist held captive by a serial killer. “The Patient” also stars Domhnall Gleeson (“Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker”) as the titular character. Carell is as adept at drama as he is at comedy. In 2015, he was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in “Foxcatcher,” which was the polar opposite of his character on “The Office,” Michael Scott. He has quite the range.
