Abstract
The world's northernmost energy reserves, the Arctic Islands of Canada, lying between 72° and 80° orth and extending for 1500 km from west to east, have been actively explored during the last 12 years for gas and oil. This demanded a completely new technology for the harsh Arctic climate which was successfully developed by Panarctic, a consortium of the Canadian Government and private industry. Although no oil has yet been found vast gas reserves, sufficient for Canada's long-term requirements, have been located and could by the late 1980s flow to the south, when either ice-breaking LNG tankers, pipelines, or both have been constructed. Many different engineering techniques brought success to this remarkable interdisciplinary adventure.
