News highlights gathered by Industrial Info and IIR Energy (Sugar Land, Texas) dealing with the energy markets.
PRODUCTION
ConocoPhillips Sees Cost of Alaska Oil Project Climb $1 Billion - ConocoPhillips (Houston, Texas) is expecting costs for its Willow project in Alaska's North Slope to leap by about $1 billion, the company said Thursday in its quarterly earnings report. The projected cost range for Willow is now $8.5 billion to $9 billion, up from the $7 billion to $7.5 billion that ConocoPhillips predicted when it reached a final investment decision on the project in late 2023. The company also tightened its schedule for initial production at Willow, saying first oil should arrive in "early" 2029 instead of later in the year. Willow is scheduled to produce 180,000 barrels per day of oil at peak rates.

LNG
Energy Transfer: Lake Charles LNG Decision Won't Occur Until 80% of Project Sold - U.S. pipeline operator Energy Transfer (Dallas, Texas) will not give its Lake Charles liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Louisiana a financial go-ahead until 80% of the project has been sold to equity partners, company executives said on Wednesday on a post-earnings call. Energy Transfer has been developing the 16.5 million-metric-ton-per-annum (MTPA) LNG export facility and has sold most of the expected production to long-term customers, but has faced rising project costs and wants to share the risk with equity partners.
