2012 Market Solicitation
From August 31 - September 14, the Alaska Pipeline Project will conduct a non-binding public solicitation of interest in securing capacity on a potential new pipeline system to transport Alaska’s North Slope gas to a liquefaction (LNG) terminal at a tidewater location in south-central Alaska or to an interconnection point near the border of British Columbia and Alberta in Canada. Read SOI Notice.
APP will conduct the solicitation of interest in accordance with the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA), which requires TransCanada, as the AGIA Licensee, to assess market interest in a pipeline transportation system for Alaska North Slope gas every two years. All options being pursued under AGIA provide for a minimum of five delivery points for local natural gas connections in Alaska. Learn more about AGIA.

2010 Open Season
The project conducted its initial open season from May to July 2010. During the open season, potential natural gas shippers had the opportunity to access the project’s detailed technical and commercial terms and make bids to reserve capacity on one or both of the proposed pipeline routes.
The purpose of an open season is to determine market interest in a pipeline project. The open season offering represented over one million hours of engineering and analysis by project teams and the combined expertise of TransCanada and ExxonMobil.
The open season was completed in full compliance with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulations and the AGIA license. APP continues to follow the open season process required by FERC Order 2005. This Order applies to the federal regulatory review of an Alaska natural gas pipeline project and establishes a number of unique open season rules. Read more on FERC Order 2005.
The Alaska Pipeline Project's open season application documents and comments for the Alaska segment of the project are on file with FERC. The filing is available in the FERC eLibrary (Docket number: PF09-11).
