FERC Greenlighting Alaska LNG Export Project Called ‘Capstone Moment’

摘要

FERC has authorized Alaska Gasline Development Corp.’s (AGDC) plans to liquefy and export natural gas produced on Alaska’s North Slope from a plant at Nikiski. The liquefed natural gas (LNG) project would consist of liquefaction facilities on the Kenai Peninsula designed to produce up to 20 million metric tons/year (mmty) for export, along with an 807-mile-long, 42-inch-diameter pipeline capable of trans- porting up to 3.9 Bcf/d to the liquefaction facilities, a gas treatment plant in Prudhoe Bay and two additional natural gas pipe- lines connecting production units to the gas treatment plant [CP17-178].
