Gov. Sean Parnell (NGP Photo-L) and Natural Resources Commissioner Dan Sullivan (NGP Photo) traveled separately to the continent in September to demonstrate to officials how the North Slope gas field can help meet growing demand in countries such as South Korea or Japan.

The Alberta government is considering whether to launch a study on the feasibility of a 2,400 kilometer rail line to help convey oil sands products from the north of the landlocked Canadian province to key Asian markets via Alaska.  The Vancouver Sun reports that Alison Redford’s government is set to decide in January whether to spend $10 million on a study of the proposed rail line, which would be part of a broader $40 million study.  The rail line would send oil products from Fort McMurray in the north of Alberta to Delta Junction in Alaska, where they would then be conveyed via the Trans-Alaska Pipeline to the Valdez Marine Terminal for shipment by sea to Asian markets.
