Highlights

  • Worley to provide engineering services for Glenfarne’s 1,300km Alaska LNG pipeline project.

  • The development includes a gas treatment plant, LNG import/export terminals, and a 20 mtpa export capacity.

  • Over 50 global firms have expressed interest in participating, including companies from Asia, the US, and the EU.

Australian engineering services group Worley (ASX:WOR) has been appointed by US-based energy infrastructure developer Glenfarne Group to deliver engineering support for the final investment decision (FID) phase of the ambitious Alaska LNG Pipeline project.

The pipeline is a key component of Glenfarne’s broader Alaska LNG development, a large-scale infrastructure initiative that encompasses the construction of a 1,300-kilometre natural gas pipeline. In addition to the pipeline, the project includes a gas treatment plant, an LNG import terminal, and an LNG export facility.

Once operational, the pipeline will play a central role in transporting natural gas to meet both Alaska’s domestic energy requirements and supply a proposed export facility with a production capacity of up to 20 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The project is positioned as a significant contributor to regional energy security and international LNG supply chains.

The Alaska LNG initiative has gained notable political and international attention. Earlier this year, former US President Donald Trump publicly supported the project, encouraging investments from international allies such as Japan and South Korea. 

In a sign of broad industry interest, Glenfarne disclosed last month that more than 50 companies from around the world have formally expressed interest in project contracts. These companies hail from a wide range of regions, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, India, and the European Union. The interest highlights the project’s global scale and strategic importance in the context of LNG supply and energy infrastructure development.
