Alaska Gas Pipeline Coordinator, Mark Meyers (NGP Photo), issued a report documenting status of projects.  Here is his cover letter and here is his full report.

See ADN story by Elizabeth Bluemink.  The Alaska Department of Natural Resources on Tuesday issued a 51-page report detailing work so far by TransCanada Corp. and Exxon Mobil, the two companies attempting to develop the pipeline under a state license, which requires the state to reimburse up to $500 million of the cost of the multibillion-dollar project.  The two companies now have 100 people working full-time on the project and have hired 24 Alaska firms as contractors. State officials and consultants are flying twice a month to Canada and Texas to monitor the companies’ work. Also, TransCanada has purchased office space in Midtown, the report said.
