NORTH AMERICA - PIPELINES ExxonMobil to join Alaska pipeline race?

摘要

Is ExxonMobil about to enter the race to build an Alaska gas pipeline to the Lower 48? If the current noises coming from the company are anything to go by, the answer is: definitely, maybe. Last week, it signed an LNG supply agreement with Alaskan utility company Fairbanks Natural Gas (FNG), the first time any gas from Alaska’s North Slope has been marketed (Gas Matters Today, February 12). Some industry observers argued it was an indication that ExxonMobil might revive its interest in constructing a pipeline to the Lower 48, Gas Matters Today asked the company to comment on this speculation.
