According to a joint statement on October 9, a truck loaded with LNG at the Harvest North Slope facility and delivered the supplies to IGU’s storage and vaporization facility in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Harvest’s small North Slope LNG facility near Deadhorse will produce up to 150,000 gallons per day, triple the capacity of IGU’s current plant.
The facility is also designed for future expansion if market demand grows beyond current capacity.
The two frims said that deliveries are projected to surpass 8 million cubic feet of gas per day as IGU expands its infrastructure and converts customers over to natural gas service.
Converting homes and businesses from fuel oil or wood over to natural gas service will have a “significant” improvement to air quality.
Harvest’s LNG facility is capable of reducing emissions by up to 2,000 tons per year, a large component of which is particulate matter, the partners claim.
In January 2023, Harvest joined forces with IGU to construct the small LNG plant and truck loading facility near Deadhorse.
Harvest said at the time that it expects to start construction of the facility in the summer of 2023 and to launch operations in late 2024.
Privately held midstream service provider Harvey operates various crude oil and natural gas gathering, storage, and transportation assets across the US.
Back in 2020, the firm purchased BP’s upstream assets in Alaska, including a 49 percent interest in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) as well as 49 percent of Alyeska Service Company.
