Gov. Bill Walker says he’s comfortable with statements made by Exxon Mobil Corp. that gas would be made available to a pipeline project the state is pursuing if the company was no longer involved in it.
Exxon is a partner in the project, along with BP and ConocoPhillips.
In December, BP and ConocoPhillips signed a gas availability agreement with the state and agreed to continue negotiating terms under which their gas would be made available to the project if either of them pulled out.
Walker says Exxon has made statements that pieced together make him comfortable that gas would be available to a project if the company wasn’t involved.
