Glenfarne Announces Partnership With Worley and Commencement of Final Engineering for the Alaska LNG Pipeline
ANCHORAGE, Alaska & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glenfarne Alaska LNG, LLC ('Glenfarne'), a subsidiary of Glenfarne Group, LLC, and majority owner and lead developer of Alaska LNG, a joint venture with the State of Alaska's Alaska Gasline Development Corporation, has selected Worley to undertake additional engineering and prepare a final cost estimate for the Alaska LNG Pipeline in sufficient detail to achieve Final Investment Decision for the Pipeline. This work has commenced and will utilize and supplement the extensive package of previously completed engineering work and update the cost of the pipeline. Worley has also been selected as the preferred engineering firm for the Cook Inlet Gateway LNG import terminal and project delivery advisor to Glenfarne across the Alaska LNG projects. 'The declining gas production from Cook Inlet risks Alaska's energy security, as well as U.S. national security and military readiness. Prioritizing the development and final investment decision of the pipeline is essential to solving the natural gas shortages which are already impacting the state,' said Brendan Duval, CEO and Founder of Glenfarne Group, LLC. Concurrently with the final engineering work, Glenfarne has launched a strategic partner selection process to partner with global companies that support Glenfarne's execution efforts and have complementary expertise to help deliver the Alaska LNG project. 'Glenfarne is pushing Alaska LNG forward with expediency engaging prospective strategic partners. We are particularly proud to be expanding our relationship with Worley to Alaska LNG from our existing partnership on the Texas LNG project. Worley is one of the world's largest and most experienced engineering and project delivery firms with a long history of success in Alaska,' Duval added. Worley has been supporting customers in Alaska for 60+ years, delivering engineering, logistics, procurement, fabrication and construction, operations and maintenance (O&M), and field services, including for many of the projects and clients on the North Slope. Worley's deep Alaskan relationships include teams in Anchorage and a jointly owned partnership formed in 1972 between NANA NORTH, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of NANA Regional Corporation - one of 13 Alaska Native Corporations created by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, and Worley Services (USA), Inc. 'As a full project delivery company with a strong track record in Alaska and supporting LNG projects, we're honored Glenfarne has chosen Worley to help deliver the Alaska LNG project," said Mark Trueman, President Americas, Worley. "Our specialist team is well placed to support Glenfarne in moving this vital project forward, improving energy security for Alaska and the world.' The Alaska LNG Pipeline is an 807-mile 42-inch pipeline capable of transporting enough natural gas to meet both Alaska's domestic needs and supply the full 20 million tonnes per annum ('MTPA') Alaska LNG export facility. The pipeline will be constructed in two phases. Phase One will deliver natural gas approximately 765 miles from the North Slope to the Anchorage region. Phase Two adds compression equipment and approximately 42 miles of pipeline under Cook Inlet to the Alaska LNG Export Facility in Nikiski and will be constructed concurrently with the LNG export facility. Glenfarne anticipates a final investment decision on the Alaska LNG Pipeline in 2025. Glenfarne Group, LLC is the owner of Texas LNG, which recently announced that its capacity is fully sold out. A final investment decision is expected later this year. Glenfarne Group, LLC's other affiliates include the largest importer of LNG into Colombia and Magnolia LNG, a late-stage LNG export project located in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Beyond LNG, Glenfarne Group, LLC owns 50 operating assets in the energy sector across five countries.

Watch the new Grand Theft Auto VI trailer, somehow even more Florida-filled
Just days after announcing that the highly anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto VI would be pushed back to 2026, Rockstar Games drove fans wild with a highly cinematic new trailer for the game that racked up 20 million views in just a few hours. And as expected, it has a distinctly Florida vibe. Sure, the game may say the action takes place in "Vice City" in Vice-Dale County in the state of Leonida, but it couldn't get more Miami if it tried. The trailer is filled with beautiful seaside locations, palm trees, seagulls, scruffy houses on stilts, neon-covered downtown areas, white, orange and green license plates, alligators, beer, boats, fishing, iguanas, the indescribable golden sunlight of a Florida sunset, and a main character named, of course, Duval. Fans have already noted references to a local hurricane, Gatorland, a pro football team jersey for the Vice City Manatees that looks a lot like a Dolphins jersey, and even a mention of Miami's most famous fictional serial killer, Dexter Morgan. Watch the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer GTA VI loaded with Florida settings "The glamour, hustle, and greed of America captured in a single city," Rockstar Games' website says about Vice City. But GTA VI doesn't stop there. There are six locations to visit, each capturing the feel of a different part of the Sunshine State. "Each neighborhood has something to offer, from the pastel art deco hotels and bright white sands of Ocean Beach, to the bustling panaderías of Little Cuba and the bootleg brands of the Tisha-Wocka flea market, out to the VC Port, the cruise ship capital of the world," Rockstar said. Other locations include "Leonida Keys," the gator-filled "Grassrivers," "Port Cellhorn" filled with "cheap motels, shut-down attractions and empty strip malls" and a familiar-looking massive cruise ship, the industrial town "Ambrosia" that features a local sugar refinery and a biker gang, and "Mount Kalaga," a national park along the state's northern border. This and the previous trailer also contain multiple references to real-life events from the Sunshine State. Fans noticed quick glimpses of viral Florida characters resembling the "Florida Joker," a naked man watering his garden, a woman twerking on top of a moving car and more. The newest edition also features something new: two protagonists instead of one, a man and a woman. What is Grand Theft Auto? Started in 1997, Grand Theft Auto refers to a series of action-adventure video games that allow players to dive into the seedy underworld of different cities and rise through the criminal underworld through, basically, auto theft and lots of violence. They are known for their very adult themes, top-of-the-line animation, and A-lister voice actors including Ray Liotta, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, William Fichtner, James Woods, Debbie Harry, Axl Rose and Peter Fonda. Until Minecraft tipped the scales, the decade-old Grand Theft Auto V was the best-selling video game of all time with nearly $8 billion in revenue since its release. It holds seven Guinness World Record titles, including the highest revenue generated by an entertainment product in 24 hours: $815.7 million in first-day sales. What is Grand Theft Auto VI about? Rockstar Games released the second trailer for its highly anticipated game Grand Theft Auto VI, set to launch on According to the trailer description, "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Where is Vice City? For many people around the world, their biggest Florida experience was tearing around the fictional Vice City at high speeds, stealing cars, shooting thugs at an alarming rate, and building their criminal empires in the video game "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City," the fourth main game in the wildly popular Grand Theft Auto series from Rockstar Games set in pretty much Miami. "New York is busy and bustling, a real merchant city, whereas Miami is a party town, all sun and sea and sex, but with that same dark edge underneath," Rockstar producer Leslie Benzies said in a 2012 interview. Apparently, people liked committing crimes in almost-Miami. "GTA: Vice City: was the best-selling video game of 2002 and won numerous awards. "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories" followed two years later. When does Grand Theft Auto VI launch? The game, originally scheduled for 2025, is coming May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. (This story was updated to add new information.)

Jacksonville golf scene evolves amid national industry resurgence
THE REMAINDER OF THIS ARTICLE IS FOR PREMIUM MEMBERS Jacksonville's golf landscape is changing as the sport enjoys renewed popularity across the nation, with more people hitting the links than in recent memory In the years following the Great Recession, the golf industry fell off its game in a big way. More than 2,000 golf facilities closed. Participation slipped from its previously lofty heights. Country clubs also felt the heat, with many closing as they struggled to keep pace with rising expenses. Then, the pandemic hit. While Covid-19 caused financial challenges for many sectors, it sparked a turnaround for the golf industry. GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Find Local Events Near You Connect with a community of local professionals. Explore All Events The National Golf Foundation found that, after decades of shrinking, the number of courses in the United States actually grew overall since 2022 — albeit by only six facilities and 17 courses. The biggest gains have been on the participation side, with NGF data showing 28.1 million Americans playing on a golf course in 2024 — the most since 2008. Now, instead of cutting costs and gradually being swamped by growing capital costs and rising expenses, many country clubs and golf courses are seeing surpluses, which are being used to help course-correct after lean years, according to industry watchers. Here's a look at how the golf industry has evolved in Jacksonville. Florida's counties are on divergent paths. St. Johns leads in income and home values, while Nassau shows explosive payroll growth. Duval and Pinellas saw wage gains despite business declines. Flagler and Clay lost major ground in employers and jobs. Meanwhile, Miami-Dade and Orange show steady, broad-based growth. The graphic captures a decade of shifting economic momentum across the state.

Rogers Charity Classic adds four major champions to tournament field
Article content 'Each one of these exceptional ball-strikers, who have all shown they can deliver on the biggest stage, are great additions to what is shaping up to be another strong field,' said Sean Van Kesteren, executive director of the Rogers Charity Classic, in Friday's release. 'These four continue to be amongst the best players each year on the PGA Tour Champions. They have shown they are still very competitive, and I know they will be ready to duel it out in Calgary.' Longtime golf fans know these names, and know these resumes. The 62-year-old Singh is a World Golf Hall of Fame inductee, while both he and Duval enjoyed stints as the top-ranked pin-seeker on the planet. Between the four of 'em, they have combined for six major titles. Singh was fitted for a Green Jacket as winner of the Masters in 2000. He also triumphed at the PGA Championship in both 1998 and 2004. Duval topped the leaderboard at the 2001 British Open, while Toms prevailed at the PGA Championship that same season. Clarke's fan-fave status was only bolstered when he claimed the Claret Jug in 2011.
