The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC), owner of the proposed Alaska LNG project, has started replying to regulatory questions on environmental mitigation measures as its main partner in the venture, ExxonMobil Corp., has sent a supporting letter.
ExxonMobil has signed a preliminary accord for the sale of its 13.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas resources in the Prudhoe Bay and Point Thomson fields of Alaska's North Slope to Alaska Gasline Development Corp., the state-owned body leading the development of Alaska LNG.
Eni, the Italian energy company that has made large natural gas discoveries in Mozambique and Egypt over the past few years, has acquired 124 exploration leases covering 350,000 acres onshore in the eastern part of the Alaska North Slope from Caelus Alaska Exploration Co., a privately-held US exploration and production company.
Alaska LNG, the project to export the state’s North Slope natural gas resources to Asia, has reached an agreement with BP of the UK and Alaska Gasline Development Corp. on feed-gas supplies, including price and volume.
