Sean Parnell (NGP Photo) has made if official: Alaska will explore taking an equity share in a large North Slope natural gas pipeline and liquefied natural gas project. (See our earlier coverage, here. -dh)
At the Jan. 10 Alaska Support Industry Alliance’s annual “Meet Alaska” conference and tradeshow in Anchorage Parnell said the state-owned Alaska Gasline Development Corp. has been authorized to participate financially in the project, estimated to cost $45 billion to $65 billion.
The idea is similar to an agreement former Gov. Frank Murkowski reached with North Slope producers in 2006 that would have the state be a partner in the project. The Legislature did not approve Murkowski’s proposal, however.
