Commercialize

Findings of the panel reviewing TransCanada’s application to build a natural gas pipeline to commercialize Alaska’s North Slope gas reserves will be presented to lawmakers the week of May 19, Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday. She also called the legislature into a 30-day special session on June 3.

TransCanada’s proposal for a gasline to commercialize Alaska’s vast North Slope reserves depends upon the state’s three major producers “solving a maze of problems in Canada…and does not merit state support,” a former Alaska governor wrote in a recent newspaper editorial.

ExxonMobil Corp., the largest holder of Alaska North Slope gas reserves, has reportedly told the state it “plans to be a co-owner” in a pipeline to commercialize those reserves to the extent of its share of the system’s throughput.

“Thanks, but no thanks” was Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s response last Wednesday to ConocoPhillips and its proposal for a natural gas pipeline to commercialize the state’s vast North Slope reserves. Palin wrote CEO James Mulva to let him know the state is now only considering a proposal from TransCanada Alaska Co. LLC and Foothills Pipe Lines Ltd.

The five applicants to build pipeline/liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects to commercialize Alaska’s North Slope gas reserves have submitted additional information to the state that was requested by the project review team, the governor’s office said last Friday.

Notably absent from those stepping up to commercialize Alaska’s vast North Slope gas reserves with pipeline/liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects under a state-sanctioned plan are the region’s three major producers and a pipeline company that many expected to throw its hat in the ring.
