ALASKA IN-STATE PIPELINE—1: STUDY CONFIRMS FEASIBILITY OF IN-STATE ALASKAN GAS PIPELINE …   Zhenhua Rui Independent Project Analysis Inc. USA Ashburn, Va. Construction of an Alaska in-state natural gas pipeline is feasible at any of three flow rate scenarios: 500 MMcfd, 750 MMcfd, and 1,000 MMcfd. Selection of a particular rate depends on specific conditions and perspectives, but the results of the study underlying this article show that building an Alaska in-state gas pipeline is reasonable for all three, assuming a 30-year operating life. This first in a two-part series of articles examines the factors influencing construction of an Alaskan in-state gas pipeline and the form such a project might eventually take. The second part will assess capital costs before discussing the m…
