Exxon may use pipeline to deliver gas from Alaska.
Underground Construction, December, 2000
Exxon Mobil Corp. is considering a pipeline to get the company's share of the massive North Slope gas reserves to market. Exxon holds almost 40 percent of the North Slope's 35 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Exxon has a pilot plant in Louisiana to study technology to convert natural gas to liquid form that could move through the 800-mile trans-Alaska pipeline.
But gas prices in the continental U.S. have risen about 60 percent in the past year, prompting renewed interest by companies like BP and Phillips Petroleum in a pipeline from the North Slope through Canada to the U.S.
Exxon spokesman Bob Davis said, "If a pipeline is built, it will not rule out a gas-to-liquids project since there are sufficient gas resources to support multiple projects."
