Furie Operating Alaska has filed a plan of operations with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources for the company’s Kitchen Lights unit, offshore in Cook Inlet. The plan envisions the installation of a gas production platform, the Kitchen Lights unit Platform A, in the waters of the inlet, about 10 miles north of Boulder Point, near Nikiski on the Kenai Peninsula, as well as the laying of twin gas pipelines from the platform to an onshore gas processing plant.
Platform installation, the laying of the pipelines and the construction of the onshore facilities will take place in parallel, between April and October 2014, Furie says. The company says that it anticipates first gas flowing from Kitchen Lights into the Kenai Peninsula gas pipeline system in the third or fourth quarter of the year.
