<p> Cost data from different marine and pipeline scenarios
were analyzed under changing world oil price and discount
assumptions to determine a minimum economic scale for Beaufort
Sea - Mackenzie Delta hydrocarbon development. Environmental
and socio-economic impacts were included to supplement the
purely economic analysis. </p> <p> The minimum economic scale project, a sixteen-inch
pipeline through the Mackenzie Valley, was found to be
marginally economic. When environmental and social costs
were assumed to be internalized by the companies involved,
and federal government exploration and development incentives
disregarded, the minimum scale project was found to yield
a negative internal rate of return. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)
