Key Alaska LNG Pipeline Study to Wrap Up by Year-End, Reuters Reports

The U.S. Interior Department expects to finish the key engineering and cost study for the 800-mile Alaska LNG pipeline by the end of 2025, according to Reuters. The long-awaited project aims to transport natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope to the Gulf of Alaska for LNG export.

According to a report by Reuters, the US Department of the Interior plans to conclude a major engineering and cost study for the proposed 800-mile (1,287 km) Alaska natural-gas pipeline by the end of this year.

The pipeline, part of the Alaska LNG Project, would carry natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope to the Gulf of Alaska for export as liquefied natural gas (LNG). The study, a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) block commissioned by the developer Glenfarne Group in partnership with the state-owned Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC), is being carried out by Australian engineering firm Worley.

Doug Burgum, the US Interior Secretary, said at a trade event that the FEED study is expected in December 2025 and that the forthcoming results “should be coming out this year.” Depending on the outcome of the FEED study, a final investment decision (FID) is being considered for 2025.

The pipeline project has received renewed emphasis under the current administration, with proponents citing its potential to increase Alaska’s gas production and LNG exports. However, the project still faces economic, technical, and environmental challenges.
