The document summarizes plans for the Alaska LNG Project which would transport natural gas from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, Alaska via a 48" pipeline for processing and export as LNG. Key points include that the Alaska Gasline Port Authority was formed in 1999 by member entities to advance the project. An estimated 35 trillion cubic feet of gas has been discovered on the North Slope but 8.6 billion cubic feet per day is currently re-injected into oil fields. The project would transport 2.7 billion cubic feet per day of gas to a proposed gas conditioning plant, pipeline, and LNG export facility in Valdez utilizing existing oil terminal infrastructure. Several permits have already been obtained for the proposed route and facilities.

5. Alaska’s North Slope Gas
35 TCF discovered while drilling for oil
8.6 bcf re-injected into oil reservoirs each day for field
pressure and due to no pipeline to tidewater.
All gas re-injected is conventional/associated gas
Estimated in several hundred of TCF of gas on North
Slope
Gas volume for Project, 2.7 bcfd or 1/3 of that being re-
injected

20. Options for Alaska
1. Continue on the existing (now 47
year) plan where the North Slope
leaseholders decide when it is in their
best interest to commercialize
Alaska’s gas; or
2. State of Alaska secures long term gas
contracts, builds/owns the
infrastructure (pipeline) to take
Alaska’s gas to Alaskans and the world
markets now.
