Exxon Mobil plans to help TransCanada finance and build a $26 billion pipeline to carry North Slope natural gas to U.S. markets, TransCanada announced Thursday. Exxon joins the 1,700-mile pipeline project less than six months after Alaska state officials abandoned plans to evict Exxon and partners that include BP and ConocoPhillips from the Point Thomson field for decades of inaction. Exxon, which declined to say what size of a stake it will hold in the project, expects Point Thomson, which holds enough gas to supply 20 months of U.S. household demand, to begin production in 2014.
