ALASKA POLITICIANS HELL BENT ON A MEGA GAS PIPELINE AT ANY COST
(more)

For many years our Alaska State elected leaders have promised Alaskans a natural gas line to create new jobs, produce new tax revenue plus deliver natural gas to the Rail Belt including Southcentral.

In 1998, Governor Knows signed legislation called the Stranded Natural Gas Act to advance only a gas pipeline. Governor Murkowski modified the legislation to allow any energy project as long as it resulted in a gas pipeline. Then Governor Palin sponsored the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) and got the Legislature to allocate $500 million to push it forward. Again AGIA only supported a gas pipeline. The State of Alaska brought in TransCanada Pipeline in as a partner who used the Alaska funds to pay its bills. Shale gas development in the Lower 48 killed any chance for markets for Alaska’s natural gas. None of the Consultants the State of Alaska or TransCanada used mentioned anything about shale gas.

So the Parnell Administration switched to a gas pipeline to Nikiski and an LNG export plant. Formed the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) to represent the State's interests. The Legislature has allocated hundreds of millions MORE to be a 25% partner with the North Slope Oil Majors. Again this program only supported a Mega gas pipeline..

In August of 2016, the Oil Majors after spending hundreds of millions on a Pre-FEED study said the AK Gasline LNG project doesn't pencil out compared to other LNG projects around the world. Despite spending almost $1 billion on a MEGA AK PIPE LINE strategy, the AK Gasline and LNG Export project is now stalled for a few years, possibly for decades or maybe forever; although Governor Walker HOPES it isn't and is betting still more $ millions to keep the project alive.

But remember "HOPE" isn't a Strategy.

WELL IMAGINE A SMALLER IN-STATE GAS PROJECT
WHERE THERE IS A REAL DEMAND TODAY

An 800 mile natural gas line, a “Bullet Line” from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska, delivering abundant gas supplies to markets for the next 100 years anchored by a 70,000 bbl per day gas-to-liquids plant producing clean diesel and jet fuel for Alaska and export to U.S. military Pacific Rim markets.

An industrial “anchor,” a large customer for natural gas, is needed because regional utilities alone
can’t pay for the bullet pipeline, which could cost $5 billion or more.
