Houston-based energy giant and LNG player ConocoPhillips is currently evaluating bids it received for its liquefied natural gas export facility on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.
Citing the company’s spokesperson, Platts reports that the company has received interest before the deadline on March 17, and is in the process of determining the next steps.
LNG World News contacted ConocoPhillips seeking additional comments on the matter.
ConocoPhillips put the facility up for sale in November last year, noting it is part of the company’s efforts to regularly review its assets to ensure it is optimizing its portfolio.
The export plant operated for six months during 2015, liquefying 20 Bcf of natural gas and delivering six LNG cargoes, while, due to the market conditions, ConocoPhillips did not conduct an export program in 2016.
The Kenai LNG plant complex, that is operational and ready to resume exports, includes docking and loading facilities to transport LNG, and has shipped over 1,300 cargoes primarily to Japan.
