Where does Alaska Pipeline Project run?

Alaska Pipeline Project runs from Alaska to Alberta, crossing United States and Canada.

How long is Alaska Pipeline Project?

Alaska Pipeline Project is 1,700 km long.

How much gas can Alaska Pipeline Project carry?

Alaska Pipeline Project has a design capacity of 46 bcm/y. Where every segment of a project repeats the same figure it is counted once rather than summed.

Alaska Pipeline Project is cancelled.

Who owns Alaska Pipeline Project?

Alaska Pipeline Project is owned by ExxonMobil and TC Energy Corp, as recorded in the current tracker release.

Does Alaska Pipeline Project serve an LNG terminal?

Alaska Pipeline Project passes within 25 km of 7 tracked LNG terminals. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection; each match is listed with its distance and how it was made.

Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

LNG against pipeline gas
A pipeline delivers gas at lower cost than LNG over land up to roughly two to four thousand kilometres, beyond which liquefaction wins, and across any significant body of deep water LNG usually wins at any distance.
How LNG works
Liquefied natural gas is natural gas chilled to about minus 162 degrees Celsius, at which point it becomes a liquid roughly 600 times smaller than the gas, so it can be shipped where no pipeline runs.
Mtpa, bcm and cubic metres
LNG capacity is quoted in three incompatible units, and the two conversions that matter are 1 million tonnes a year equals about 1.36 billion cubic metres of gas a year, and 1 cubic metre of liquid equals about 600 cubic metres of gas.
What terminal status actually means
A project status describes how far an LNG terminal or train has progressed, and the gap between proposed and operating is the single most misread number in the industry.
