The proposed multibillion-dollar TransCanada gas pipeline from the North Slope took a step forward this afternoon with the receipt of bids from potential shippers willing to pay to move gas to markets.
"The Alaska Pipeline Project can report that we've received multiple bids from major industry players and others for significant volumes," said Tony Palmer, a TransCanada Corp. vice president.
Reading from a short prepared statement, Palmer said, "We're encouraged about the future advancement of the project if key conditions can be resolved. Although we need to further assess the results, we're encouraged by the bids received, the interest expressed in our initial open season and shippers' willingness to take the ongoing steps needed to continue to advance the project.
"Our next goal will be to move forward with those shippers to try to resolve any conditions that are outstanding," Palmer said.
Palmer's announcement came after the conclusion Friday of TransCanada's 90-day open season and will likely remain secret for months while the company and its partner, Exxon Mobil, evaluate them and negotiate conditions.
