Furie Operating Alaska LLC is permitting an offshore platform at its Kitchen Lights unit, according to a public notice published yesterday by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. KLU Platform A would underpin long-term production of natural gas from the offshore unit in the upper Cook Inlet, the company said. In its filings, Furie described a development plan including a platform, two subsea gathering lines and a new onshore production facility near Nikiski tying into the regional natural gas distribution grid. The Army Corps is taking comments through Jan. 4. —Eric Lidji
