Alaska wants to terminate deal with TransCanada

摘要

Anchorage—Alaska wants to cancel a license agreement with TransCanada for the pipeline company’s work on a large natural gas pipeline and liquefied natural gas project, a state official said last week. Circumstances have changed since the agreement was signed with TransCanada in 2009, state Commissioner of Natural Resources Joe Balash said. This includes the emergence of a joint venture that includes major North Slope producers and that the project has changed from a proposed land pipeline to the continental US to a pipeline across Alaska and a large LNG export project, he said.
