Glenfarne Alaska LNG, LLC, a subsidiary of Glenfarne Group, LLC, has selected Worley to provide additional engineering and finalize cost estimates for the Alaska LNG Pipeline to facilitate a final investment decision for the pipeline in 2025.

The work, already underway, will build upon existing engineering data and update cost projections for the 807-mile 42-inch gas pipeline. 

Worley has also been designated as the preferred engineering firm for the Cook Inlet Gateway LNG import terminal and will serve as a project delivery adviser to Glenfarne across the broader Alaska LNG projects.

“The declining gas production from Cook Inlet risks Alaska’s energy security, as well as U.S. national security and military readiness,” Brendan Duval, CEO and founder of Glenfarne Group stated, highlighting the urgency of the project. 

“Prioritizing the development and final investment decision of the pipeline is essential to solving the natural gas shortages, which are already impacting the state,” he added.

Duval emphasized Worley's long-standing success in Alaska and its existing partnership with Glenfarne on the Texas LNG project.

With over 60 years of operation in Alaska, Worley brings extensive experience in engineering, procurement, and construction. 

Mark Trueman, President Americas for Worley, expressed honor at being chosen. He stated that their “specialist team is well placed to support Glenfarne in moving this vital project forward, improving energy security for Alaska and the world."

The Alaska LNG Pipeline is designed to transport natural gas from the North Slope, meeting both Alaska's domestic needs and supplying the 20 million tonnes per annum Alaska LNG export facility. 

The pipeline will be constructed in two phases, with the first phase delivering gas to the Anchorage region.

Meanwhile, Glenfarne is concurrently seeking strategic partners to aid in the execution of the Alaska LNG project.
