Cook Inlet gas mediation begins

Agrium Inc., Cook Inlet gas producers, and the state of Alaska entered mediation May 26 in Anchorage, on whether to regulate the Cook Inlet Gas Gathering System, or CIGGS, a pipeline owned by Marathon Oil Co. and Unocal Corp. Currently, the system is unregulated, meaning the use of privately owned pipeline is actively controlled by the owners

Agrium filed a petition last fall with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to regulate CIGGS, giving any gas producers the right to ship gas through the pipeline.

Agrium spokeswoman Lisa Parker said mediation will speed up the process of determining regulatory status of the line, delivering an answer in July rather than in November as scheduled in the RCA’s original timeline.
