Worley is working on additional engineering and a final cost estimate for the Alaska LNG Pipeline for Glenfarne Alaska LNG (Glenfarne), a subsidiary of Glenfarne Group LLC, and majority owner and lead developer of Alaska LNG, a joint venture with the State of Alaska’s Alaska Gasline Development Corp. According to Worley, the company will use and supplement previously completed engineering and provide sufficient detail to achieve financial investment decision (FID) for the pipeline.
Worley has also been selected as the lead engineering firm for the Cook Inlet Gateway LNG import terminal and project delivery advisor to Glenfarne across the Alaska LNG projects.
“The declining gas production from Cook Inlet risks Alaska’s energy security, as well as US national security and military readiness,” said Brendan Duval, chief executive officer and founder of Glenfarne Group LLC. “Prioritizing the development and final investment decision of the pipeline is essential to solving the natural gas shortages which are already impacting the state. Glenfarne is pushing Alaska LNG forward with expediency and engaging prospective strategic partners with the technical and industry expertise, financial strength, and market reach to help deliver the Alaska LNG project. We are particularly proud to expand our relationship with Worley to Alaska LNG from our existing partnership on the Texas LNG project. Worley is one of the world’s largest and most experienced engineering and project delivery firms with a long history of success in Alaska.”
For over 60 years, Worley has delivered engineering, logistics, procurement, fabrication and construction, operations and maintenance, and field services, including for many of the projects and operators on Alaska’s North Slope.
Glenfarne anticipates an FID on the Alaska LNG Pipeline in 2025.
