optimized fresh start ARCTIC PORT CONCEPT for prudent development

Optimized Ice Port.jpg

Ensign Oil and Gas LLC is developing it's concept design for an Offshore Ice Port for Arctic locations in Alaska that require an offshore port presence as more State and Federal authorities are beginning to look into the strategic advantages of such as concept. This concept is an optimization of the Ensign Oil and Gas proprietary configuration focused on exporting land-locked natural gas in the form of LNG for Northern Alaska and Canada geographical areas. This concept is an economical alternative to massive development projects that require long distance pipelines to move natural gas to Southern ports or pipeline infrastructures. It does not complete with these large capital projects as it only uses excess gas as an export alternative to develop export revenues. It is a Fresh Start approach to Prudent Development of the Arctic Resources.

This new port complex is sized to accommodate not only LNG and Crude Oil Exports, but also be used as a strategic port for the Navy and Coast Guard as well as an outpost for Environmental Research.
