Alaska gasline applications due Nov. 30; public will see list of applicants right away, but not the actual applications

Nov. 30 is the due date for applications under Gov. Sarah Palin’s Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, which offers incentives for gas pipeline proposals that meet the state’s requirements. The State of Alaska’s goal is to get a pipeline built that will take North Slope natural gas to markets both inside and outside the state.

Applications won’t be made public immediately, although Sharon Leighow in the governor’s press office told Petroleum News Nov. 28 that the state will release a list of those who apply. Before applications are made public the state will review them to ensure that they are complete. The Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority has already posted its applications for spur lines to Southcentral on its Web site: www.angda.state.ak.us. These applications are meant to meet AGIA’s in-state gas use requirements and to be attached to mainline pipe applications.

The state’s “completeness review period” is planned to run from Nov. 30 to Dec. 21, although the length of that review “is dependent upon the number, quality and complexity of applications received,” the state said on the AGIA Web site, and could take longer than three weeks.

The administration’s goal is to select an applicant and get a proposal to the Legislature for approval early next year so that the selected project can begin field work in the summer of 2008.
