ADN by Becky Bohrer. The Alaska Gas Pipeline has reported receiving bids for "significant capacity" on its proposed natural gas pipeline in Alaska. Denali President Bud Fackrell (NGP Photo) said in a statement that the bids included conditions, some outside Denali’s control; he wasn’t specific, though energy companies in the past have raised concerns about having long-range tax and royalty certainty from the state. … Fackrell said Denali would evaluate the bids and continue with confidential negotiations, a process TransCanada has been engaged in and hopes to conclude in the next several months. The ultimate goal is to reach binding agreements; Denali hopes to do that by early next year. * APRN-Juneau, by Dave Donaldson. Denali President Bud Fackrell says the company has received a significant number of bids – however they came with conditions that still need to be negotiated in private with companies wanting to use the line.Fackrell says the project is based on market conditions and a final decision on whether to continue will come after the company and bidders determine future market conditions. Denali’s competitor, TransCanada Pipeline, working with its partner Exxon closed its Open Season offering at the end of July. Denali is a joint venture between BP and ConocoPhillips.
