en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cook Inlet LNG submitted an application on June 1 to initiate a pre-filing review by the Commission for its Alaska floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) project. The company unveiled plans for this FSRU-based LNG import terminal earlier this year.

The project plans to construct and operate an LNG import terminal and related facilities approximately 2 miles (3.22 km) offshore West Foreland in Cook Inlet, Alaska. Cook Inlet LNG stated that the project will utilize existing oil and gas production platforms and pipeline infrastructure, requiring no new facilities other than the FSRU mooring system and a replacement pipeline connecting the platform to the local grid.

The project will supply customers with 20 to 30 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas annually. The company also noted that, given the planned FSRU's greater send-out capacity, gas volumes could be gradually increased in the future if local market demand rises.

Cook Inlet LNG believes that initiating the pre-filing process will enhance information exchange with Commission staff, coordinate actions among various agencies, and more efficiently schedule the time required to complete stakeholder engagement. Given the seasonal nature of work in Alaska, this step will support the completion of field activities and facilitate the acquisition of various government approvals needed for the project.

Cook Inlet LNG expects to submit a formal application to the Commission in December 2026. After obtaining all regulatory approvals, the company plans to begin construction in the second quarter of 2028 and launch the project in the third quarter of 2029.
