FAIRBANKS -- Plans for a natural gas liquefaction plant on the North Slope have been put on hold.
Fairbanks Natural Gas Chief Executive Dan Britton says he wants to see how competing projects would affect his company's plans to bring North Slope gas to Fairbanks.
Those projects include a proposed bullet line from the North Slope to the Anchorage area and a spur line to be built off a 1,700-mile-plus transcontinental line.
Earlier this year, the company struck a deal with Exxon Mobil Corp. to buy gas from the oil giant's North Slope supplies.
It would build a gas liquefaction plant on the North Slope, then truck the gas several hundred miles to the Fairbanks area.
Britton warns, however, that the plans for the plant are not being completely set aside.
"All of those pipelines potentially affect us in a potentially dramatic way," Britton said. "We're trying to understand what's happening on all that right now."
