Glenfarne Alaska LNG, the majority owner and lead developer of Alaska LNG, has selected Worley to undertake additional engineering and prepare a final cost estimate for the Alaska LNG Pipeline in sufficient detail to achieve final investment decision for the pipeline.
Alaska LNG, is a joint venture with Glenfarne and the state of Alaska’s Alaska Gasline Development Corporation.
This work has commenced and will utilize and supplement the extensive package of previously completed engineering work and update the cost of the pipeline. Worley has also been selected as the preferred engineering firm for the Cook Inlet Gateway LNG import terminal and project delivery advisor to Glenfarne across the Alaska LNG projects.
“The declining gas production from Cook Inlet risks Alaska’s energy security, as well as U.S. national security and military readiness. Prioritizing the development and final investment decision of the pipeline is essential to solving the natural gas shortages which are already impacting the state,” said Brendan Duval, CEO and founder of Glenfarne Group.
Concurrently with the final engineering work, Glenfarne has launched a strategic partner selection process to partner with global companies that support Glenfarne’s execution efforts and have complementary expertise to help deliver the Alaska LNG project.
“Glenfarne is pushing Alaska LNG forward with expediency engaging prospective strategic partners. We are particularly proud to be expanding our relationship with Worley to Alaska LNG from our existing partnership on the Texas LNG project. Worley is one of the world’s largest and most experienced engineering and project delivery firms with a long history of success in Alaska,” added Duval.
Worley has been supporting customers in Alaska for 60+ years, delivering engineering, logistics, procurement, fabrication and construction, operations and maintenance (O&M), and field services, including for many of the projects and clients on the North Slope. Worley’s deep Alaskan relationships include teams in Anchorage and a jointly owned partnership formed in 1972 between NANA NORTH, a wholly owned subsidiary of NANA Regional Corporation — one of 13 Alaska Native Corporations created by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, and Worley Services (USA), Inc.
“As a full project delivery company with a strong track record in Alaska and supporting LNG projects, we’re honored Glenfarne has chosen Worley to help deliver the Alaska LNG project. Our specialist team is well placed to support Glenfarne in moving this vital project forward, improving energy security for Alaska and the world,” said Mark Trueman, president Americas, Worley.
The Alaska LNG Pipeline is an 807-mile 42-inch pipeline capable of transporting enough natural gas to meet both Alaska’s domestic needs and supply the full 20 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) Alaska LNG export facility. The pipeline will be constructed in two phases. Phase One will deliver natural gas approximately 765 miles from the North Slope to the Anchorage region. Phase Two adds compression equipment and approximately 42 miles of pipeline under Cook Inlet to the Alaska LNG Export Facility in Nikiski and will be constructed concurrently with the LNG export facility.
Glenfarne anticipates a final investment decision on the Alaska LNG Pipeline in 2025.
