Alaska LNG pipeline

The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation, a public corporation controlled by the State of Alaska, assumed control of the project after ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and BP withdrew in 2016. Estimates of cost range from $38.7 billion to more than $65 billion (2012 dollars) for a project that includes a massive plant to cleanse produced gas of carbon dioxide and other impurities; an approximately 800-mile pipeline from Alaska’s North Slope to the liquefaction plant; and an LNG plant, storage and shipping terminal at Nikiski, 60 air miles southwest of Anchorage along Cook Inlet. The 42-inch-diameter pipeline would be built to carry 3 billion to 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
