  1. Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority ACCESS ISSUES Before the Legislative Budget & Audit Committee -and- Senate Resources Committee In Anchorage, Alaska, on July 28-29, 2004

  2. Access Issues in Alaska • Gas Take-Off Points Along the Gas Line • Electric Power Plants • Propane Distribution Centers • Piped Gas Distribution Systems • Getting the Gas to Tidewater • Barge Distribution to Coastal Communities • LNG Sales to West Coast & Across Pacific • New Industrial or Manufacturing Plants • Gas Spur Line to Cook Inlet Area ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  3. ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  4. Gas Take-Off Points Along the Gas LineElectric Power Plants • Livengood, Rampart, Stevens Village, Minto • Fairbanks • North Pole & Fort Wainwright • Delta & Fort Greely • Tok • Glennallen • Palmer / Wasilla ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  5. Gas Take-Off Points Along the Gas LinePropane Distribution Centers • Coldfoot • Yukon River Crossing • Fox • Delta Junction • Tok • Northway Junction • Glennallen • Palmer / Wasilla ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  6. Gas Take-Off Points Along the Gas LinePiped Gas Distribution Systems • Fairbanks • Eielson AFB • Fort Wainwright • Fort Greely • Glennallen • Whitehorse ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  7. Getting the Gas to TidewaterBarge Distribution - Coastal Communities • Barges used to transport and store gas at town, village, or commercial site • New or replacement gas fired electric generation facility (? Also barge mount ?) • LNG (liquified natural gas) -or- CNG (compressed natural gas) • Wainwright -to- Ketchikan with ? 50 ? communities in-between ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  8. Getting the Gas to TidewaterLNG Sales - West Coast & Pacific Rim • Large volume gas sales provide an economy of scale that lowers costs to Alaskan gas consumers • LNG delivery at coastline may reach some West Coast communities better than overland pipeline system • LNG to Japan, Korea, and Taiwan expands Alaska’s gas markets ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  9. Getting the Gas to TidewaterNew Industrial or Manufacturing Plants • Expansion of Agrium and Kenai LNG plants is attractive with larger North Slope gas supply available in Cook Inlet • Price advantage of $1.50 under “world gas price” may attract entrepreneurs and new investors • Synergies of power generation, communications, and transportation infrastructure will cluster industrialization ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  10. ANGDA Spur Line Providing Intrastate Gas Transmission • Seek certification under AS 42.06 as a gas transportation pipeline • Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) processes are reasonable and appropriate • Consideration should be given to reduce the regulatory complexity for ANGDA (as a State entity) and strengthen in-state opportunities ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  11. Spur Line to Cook Inlet Area • ANGDA building the gas spur line as a State gas transmission utility with low interest rate debt financing can reduce the cost of service by more than 25% • Connection and routing dependent on other’s decisions on larger North Slope gas projects • “Bullet line” needs to be evaluated as best solution to Cook Inlet gas shortage ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  12. ANGDA Concerns on Access • Availability of numerous physical take-off points for modest volumes • Tariff to Alaska destinations proportioned for actual transportation distance • Informational in-equities and preparing for a level “open season” process • Very limited West Coast re-gasification sites may be un-available in future to Alaskan LNG ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  13. Availability of numerous physical take-off points for modest volumes • Gas fired power generation facilities along the line key to interior Alaskan and Canadian communities energy needs and cost • Industrial and spur line take-off points defined before open season • Gas line project proposal must include simple standardized design for gas take-off, propane separation, and gas re-injection (also hook-in) ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  14. Alaska tariff’s proportioned for transportation distance • Having gas physically available in Alaska doesn’t mean much if the tariff within Alaska (set by FERC, not RCA) includes lost downstream revenues as a cost • Communities and industries should enjoy the tariff advantage of being located closer to the gas supply in Alaska • Consider inclusion of in-State tariff design in fiscal terms of Stranded Gas Act contract ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  15. Informational in-equities and preparing for a level “open season” process • FERC generally requires information boundaries between corporate affiliates in gas production, gas transmission, and gas marketing functions • Fundamental design input to producer’s $125 million study is not available (ie, composition of gas transported in the line) • Open season commitments are major corporate decisions requiring time & due diligence ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  16. Very limited West Coast re-gasification sites may be un-available to Alaska LNG • FERC’s laissez’ faire approach to LNG regas facility sighting is working in Gulf Coast • West Coast of US may have only one LNG regas site and FERC will likely let it be “proprietary” • Sempra/Shell Baja site will be supplied by BP’s Tangguh (Indonesia) & Shell’s Sahkalin projects • Conoco-Phillips is partnering into Mitsubishi’s proposed Port of Long Beach LNG regas terminal ANGDA to L B & A on 072904

  19. The Wyoming Natural Gas Pipeline Authority • “simply put, all the natural gas production and the highest prices in the world won’t do us much good if we can’t get the gas to market.” Governor Freudenthal, Wyoming • Created in 1979 as an instrumentality of the state with the authority to build, operate, and maintain gas pipeline & storage facilities. • Resurrected in 2003: Governor recognized the lack of pipeline infrastructure is costing the State of Wyoming up to $130 million/year. • Producer’s are waiting for pipeline companies to expand pipeline capacity, pipeliners are waiting for producers to drill more wells. • The Wyoming Legislature increased the WNGPA’s bonding authority from $250 million to $1 billion to facilitate the building of gas pipelines.
