An El Paso Corp. subsidiary has renewed a contract with the Navajo Nation, which gives the Houston-based pipeline operator the right to ship natural gas across more than 900 miles of tribal lands in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and California. No financial details were disclosed. Three years ago El Paso Natural Gas Co. and the Navajo Nation signed an interim agreement that ended a stalemate over the fair dollar value of the gas pipeline’s access to tribal lands (see Daily GPI, Jan. 18, 2006). The interim agreement allowed El Paso to continue to transport around 2.7 Bcf/d across the disputed area, and it also gave the parties time to renegotiate a longer-term agreement for right of way (ROW) access. In September 2006 El Paso’s offer of nearly $200 million to renew a 20-year contract was rejected. At that time, the Navajo Nation demanded $440 million for the ROW, which was around twice El Paso’s original offer (see Daily GPI, Oct. 3, 2005).

Alaska officials Friday signed a license agreement that gives TransCanada Alaska LLC (TC Alaska) and affiliate Foothills Pipe Lines Ltd. the concession to construct a pipeline to tap the state’s North Slope gas reserves.
