An intrastate natural gas pipeline that extends from Alaska's North Slope(ANS)to the Cook Inlet area could cost 4 billion and be in service as early as 2015,according to state-appointed project manager Harry Noah.The line would provide gas to meet Alaskan space heating and industrial demand.The 800-mile,24-in.OD pipeline would use two compressor stations and deliver about 500 MMcfd.Alaska sees the line as a complement to an eventual trans-Alaska gas pipeline delivering supplies to the Lower 48.
