DOE - Fossil Energy Techline: Energy Department Moves Forward on Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Loan Guarantee Program
Washington, DC – The Department of Energy tomorrow, May 27, will publish a Notice of Inquiry in the Federal Register seeking public comment on an $18 billion loan guarantee program to encourage construction of a pipeline that will bring Alaskan natural gas to the continental United States. The pipeline will provide access to Alaska's 35 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves and would be a major step forward in meeting America's growing energy needs and reducing our dependence on foreign sources of energy. It would also fulfill the Bush Administration's policy to bring Alaska's natural gas reserves to market. ... [Read More]

Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline Survives 7.9 Quake
The survival of the pipeline in the Denali Fault earthquake was the result of careful engineering to meet stringent earthquake design specifications based on geologic studies done in the early 1970's by the U.S. Geological Survey, Woodward-Lundgren and Associates, and others in conjunction with the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. Those studies located the Denali Fault within a 1,900-foot corridor crossing the pipeline route and estimated that the pipeline could be subjected to a magnitude 8.0 earthquake in which the ground might slip 20 feet horizontally and 5 feet vertically. These estimates proved to be remarkably accurate for the 2002 magnitude 7.9 earthquake, in which the rupture crossed the pipeline within the 1,900-foot corridor, and the fault shifted about 14 feet horizontally and 2.5 feet vertically. ...
