  • If You Could Tour the Pipeline Route
    The Office of the Federal Coordinator closed March 7, 2015. Until further notice, this website is preserved for research and informational purposes by the U.S. Arctic Research Commission and is administered by the Alaska Resources Library and Information Services (ARLIS) at the University of Alaska Anchorage. If you could tour the pipeline route By: Bill White Researcher/Writer, Office of the Federal Coordinator Release Date: March 4, 2015 Alaska LNG project sponsors often remind people it's really three projects — a gas treatment plant on the North Slope, a long pipeline bisecting the state and a liquefaction plant at coastal Nikiski. Each would cost billions of dollars, and need tons of steel, thousands of workers and years to construct. But the middle segment of this trinity — the 800-mile natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Nikiski — is the symbol of Alaska's 40-year quest for North Slope natural gas development. The project sponsors are still working out the exact route for the 42-inch-diameter pipeline, testing soils, searching for earthquake faults, scoping the most buildable corridor with the least environmental impact and the fewest construction problems. It's all part of their preliminary front-end engineering and design efforts, expected to last through 2015. The "study corridor" is 2,000 feet wide. The pipeline's ultimate right of way and footprint would be much narrower. Preliminary maps filed in February 2015 with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission provide a general path the sponsors and their teams are reviewing. If you could walk, drive or fly over the route, this is what you would see and could learn about the people and places along the way.
