Paul Anderson is a Calgary-based strategic advisor with expertise in regulatory, land, and environmental management for the energy industry. Paul has 30 years of professional experience in environmental assessment, environmental management, and environmental approvals and permitting in the oil and gas and pipeline industry in western Canada.
Paul provides leadership and strategic guidance to clients in the development of environmental assessment and management programs for major projects in western Canada. He has extensive experience in complex energy projects and in helping project proponents advance toward a social license. Paul has a unique skill set with extensive experience in environmental and land management as well as regulatory affairs, stakeholder & public consultation and Aboriginal engagement.
Paul has conducted numerous projects for energy clients in Western Canada. As an example, Paul led the environmental assessment and management program for the regulatory phase of the Canadian portion of the Alliance Pipeline Project. He went on to lead the Regulatory, Environmental, Land, and Stakeholder Relations programs for Alliance enterprise-wide during the construction and operation of the system.
Prior to that experience, Paul provided strategic direction and led the environmental assessment for the TransMaritime Project which was a major pipeline proposed by TransCanada (now TC Energy) to deliver Sable Island gas across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and interconnect with the Trans Québec & Maritimes Pipeline (TQM).
More recently and most prominently, Paul was the Director of Environment and Land for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines Project. Likely the most controversial project in recent Canadian history, the Northern Gateway Project involved twin 2000 km pipelines from Bruderheim, Alberta, to Kitimat, British Columbia.
Regarding expert witness testimony, I have extensive experience with quasi-judicial boards such as the National Energy Board (now Canada Energy Regulator) and Joint Review Panels. For example, in 2012-13 I was responsible for providing expert witness testimony and being Enbridge’s policy witness on six expert witness panels before the Joint Review Panel for the Northern Gateway Pipelines Project. I provided expert witness testimony before the National Energy Board for the Alliance Pipeline Project and for a number of TransCanada Pipeline Expansion projects in Northern Ontario and Manitoba.
