Alaska Deal Could Save Sole US LNG Train, Raise Gas Production

摘要

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced a deal late last week with ConocoPhillips and Marathon designed to keep the sole US liquefied natural gas export facility in operation. The agreement includes pledges from the two international oil companies to supply gas to Alaska utilities and to explore for additional reserves in Cook Inlet in exchange for the state's support in renewing a federal export license to ship LNG to Japan.
