Alaska Gasline Development Corp. (AGDC) is in discussions to acquire Kenai LNG plant at Nikiski from ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP). Frank Richards, AGDC`s Engineering Vice President said, "We haven`t signed a confidentiality agreement yet,”. ConocoPhillips had put the facility up for sale last fall. ConocoPhillips spokeswoman Amy Jennings Burnett did not confirm talks were underway with AGDC, but said discussions are being held with a wide range of possible buyers. "We are in the early stages of marketing the plant. ConocoPhillips is following a standard marketing process for the Kenai LNG plant. A virtual data room, which opened on January 10, provides critical information to help potential buyers assess the asset and determine if they are interested in submitting a formal bid," Burnett said in an e-mail. "Interested parties are currently reviewing the data room material and we anticipate receiving bids later this year. At that point, ConocoPhillips will evaluate the bids and determine a path forward. We are not in negotiations with any party at this time," Burnett said.
