RE: Japan to invest $550 bln in US23 Jul 2025 11:00
This is what Max said at the last webinar on it…..
“ And as an Alaskan, shifting to full renewables is very difficult to do, very expensive, converting to oil is not going to happen. And how embarrassing as an Alaskan to import LNG, Alaska exports LNG, doesn't import LNG. And so the best solution for the state really is this in-state pipeline. We're a big stakeholder in that. We're the primary shipper. So as you know, we have a gas sales precedent agreement for this for a 20-year supply. And so we'll be the first shipper to provide primary energy to consumers of Alaska. And it's some debate when this will be finally FID-ed and what that looks like. It could be as early as this year.
So again, our Dubhe well is very, very important to prove up the gas deliverability for that to occur. And so the state is paying attention to what we're doing as well. But it's a very, very exciting time for Alaska. We've been talking about a gas pipeline, well, since I started the company actually. When I started in Alaska was a year Prudhoe Bay came up plateau. Hopefully, that wasn't the reason. But -- and since that day, people have been talking about gas sales and it looks like it's finally coming to fruition with a lot of support from the federal government and obviously, the state as well.”
