Nuiqsut Natural Gas Pipeline (bright green)

The North Slope Borough constructed Nuiqsut Natural Gas Pipeline (NNGP) to transport natural gas from the ConocoPhillips Alpine production pad to the village of Nuiqsut, a community of over 400 residents located within the Colville River Delta. The 14.4-mile NNGP shares horizontal and vertical supports with the Alpine pipelines from the production pad to the west bank of the Colville River, where it transitions below-ground and continues to the village. Approximately 2.4 miles of the NNGP are located on State of Alaska land. State lands include a section of the above-ground pipeline and the trenched crossing of the Nechelik Channel of the Colville River. Pipeline lease renewal review is in process.
