BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL RELEASED

Report To The

Honorable Ted Stevens

United States Senate

OF THE UNITED STATES




Issues Facing The Future Use Of

Alaskan North Slope Natural Gas




The North Slope of Alaska contains over 26
trillion cubic feet of natural gas. In 1977, the
President and the Congress approved con-
struction of a 4,800-mile gas pipeline to
bring this gas to U.S. consumers by 1983.
However, completion of the project is not
now expected until late 1989 atthe earliest.

This report examines the status and outlook
for the Alaskan gas pipeline (the Alaska
Natural Gas Transportation System). It also
evaluates the pros and cons of (1) alterna-
tive systems to deliver this gas to market,
including a gas pipeline within Alaska for
export of liquefied natural gas; (2) process-
ing the gas in Alaska by converting it to
methanol and petrochemicals for export;
and (3) using the gas within Alaska.
