WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) today commented on the agreement signed between the state of Alaska, TransCanada, and the state’s three major oil producers for a proposed North Slope liquefied natural gas project:

“I applaud the progress Gov. Sean Parnell’s office has made in advancing a natural gas development project,” Murkowski said. “I look forward to all parties working as quickly as possible on the engineering design of the project and to speed development of the financial framework for a project to proceed to construction.”
