Exxon asks for accelerated permitting schedule for Point Thomson
Point Thomson unit operator ExxonMobil told federal and state agencies this week that it wants to pursue “an accelerated permit review schedule” for the eastern North Slope unit that abuts the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
The July 27 letter to all concerned agencies referenced a recent “presidential executive order” that directed federal agencies to “expedite the review of the permitting of energy-related projects.”
The letter was accompanied by a comprehensive environmental report for the Point Thomson gas cycling project. (See related news brief below.) It asked all agencies to provide “overview comments” and “opinions” on the environmental consequences of the project by Sept. 14.
