Ahmaogak to head port authority

Petroleum News Alaska Staff

The mayor of the North Slope Borough has been named the new chairman of the municipal consortium that's pursuing a natural gas pipeline. Mayor George Ahmaogak succeeds former Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Hank Hove.

Ahmaogak said he hopes to accelerate promotion of the Alaska Gasline Port Authority.

During its annual meeting in early November, the board sent a letter to Alaska's major gas producers — BP, Phillips Petroleum Co. and ExxonMobil — reiterating the economic benefits of its vision.

The letter also emphasized that the port authority no longer is pushing only a gas line to Valdez for liquefaction and export to Asia but is now is promoting a two-legged line that would include both the Valdez spur and a pipeline following the Alaska Highway industrial corridor to markets in the Lower 48.
