The Canadian number is 24.2 Bcf a day. The new kit is small pieces

TC Energy (TSX: TRP) reported second-quarter 2026 results on July 30. François Poirier said first-half operations were strong enough to aim at the upper end of 2026 comparable EBITDA, $11.6 to $11.8 billion. Second-quarter comparable EBITDA was $2.9 billion, versus $2.6 billion a year earlier. Comparable earnings were $1.0 billion, or $0.94 a share. Net income attributable to common shares was $1.0 billion, or $0.95. The board declared $0.8775 a share for the quarter ending September 30. Net capital spend is guided at $5.5 to $6.0 billion.

Canadian natural gas pipeline deliveries averaged 24.2 Bcf a day, up 1 percent. U.S. gas pipes averaged 27.0 Bcf a day, up 5 percent. Deliveries to LNG plants on that U.S. system averaged 3.9 Bcf a day, up 13 percent. Those LNG barrels are Gulf and Mexico-adjacent, not Kitimat.
