Petroleum News: New DOE report on Alaska gas
Petroleum News, in its edition for the week of June 25, has a story about a new report from the U.S. Department of Energy assessing natural gas demand in Alaska. It makes for some interesting reading.
The story begins:
“Given the current intense debate over various options for bringing North Slope natural gas to market, objective information is critical to assessing the feasibility of ideas that seem attractive but that may not withstand the rigors of harsh reality. Would, for example, a spur line to bring North Slope gas into Southcentral Alaska be economically viable? Is an Alaska-based petrochemical industry a real option or simply an optimistic mirage?
“The U.S. Department of Energy tackled those and other questions in a comprehensive report it has just released on potential Alaska natural gas demand in the years ahead.”
News-Miner reporters Stefan Milkowski and Eric Lidji bring you up-to-date info about the governor's oil tax and
the gas line plans as well as tossing in some tidbits that have nowhere else to go.
