Gas Treatment Plant

The proposed gas treatment plant will process over 3 billion cubic feet of gas per day and will require more than 250,000 tons of steel and a footprint of over 200 acres, making it among the largest gas treatment plants in the world. At the treatment plant, the gas quality will be improved making it suitable to enter the pipeline and travel south to the liquefaction plant. CO2 removed in the process will be captured and compressed for reinjection.

Pipeline

The approximately 800-mile pipeline will require years of construction and will use proven technologies to ensure safe operations and reduce the potential for impact on the environment and communities. Additionally, there will be gas offtake points along the pipeline to make gas available to Alaska communities.

Liquefaction Plant

Liquefying natural gas is the key step to safely and efficiently transporting it to market. The liquefaction plant requires a conditioning facility and will have three liquefaction facilities, called trains. The Nikiski area on the Kenai Peninsula was selected as the lead site.

Storage and Loading

The LNG will be stored in tanks. LNG tankers will transport the LNG to world markets.

The Alaska LNG Project pipeline is being designed to carry natural gas from the North Slope to a proposed natural gas liquefaction facility in Nikiski, Alaska. The majority of the proposed pipeline will be buried, except where it crosses ecologically sensitive areas and will be routed above ground. Unlike oil, natural gas flows normally at below freezing temperatures and needs to be kept cool in the pipeline.

The current design basis is for an 806 mile, 42” diameter pipeline with up to eight compressor stations along the line. The pipeline has a capacity of 3.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. The draft route continues to be amended based on input from communities along the line and input from regulatory agencies.

Alaska Ping!

Sounds like a good move on Alaska’s part if they can manage the change.

Question is who is actually doing the design engineering. TransCanada or several subcontract engineering firms.

With so many investors on the project, if a tight rein is not kept over the engineering, the cost of project, with it’s 10 year window, will skyrocket out of control.

Alaska's constitution prohibits spending money directly from the Permanent Fund but there are ways the savings fund can be used to help leverage a financing package.

Yeah? How does that work, exactly?
