Alaska Gov. Promises Policies Promoting Gas Line, Production

摘要

Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell told lawmakers last week a successful open season for an Alaska natural gas pipeline will be high on his administration's priority list this year. "Bringing Alaska's gas to market represents the largest economic opportunity before us," Parnell said in his State of the State address. "Though Alaskans have talked about a gas line for at least 30 years, it is the first time significant milestones have been crossed. The first time field work has been completed, it is the first time we will have detailed cost estimates and the first time open seasons are at hand. At this rate, the companies could be building a pipeline four to five years from now.
