Unfortunately, the United States continues to rely on oil sourced from foreign nations to fill its refineries.
Under the Obama administration, millions of acres in the North Slope were made off limits to oil and gas development.
The National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, or NPR-A, in the northwestern corner of the state, was set aside for oil and gas development by the Federal Government in the 1920s.
With the talk of opening up ANWR Section 1002 for development, and more development in the NPR-A, some say that developing into these areas will harm the environment and the animals. I disagree.
In short, my personal opinion is I think the producers are a very good steward of the land.
I appreciate it. Just if you do find that, it may generate some other questions for you.
Unnecessary regulatory actions and requirements that add costs and delays could make Alaska non-competitive.
Other industries combined do not make up the amount of jobs, wages, and overall economic impact the oil industry has for the people of the state of Alaska.
The oil and gas industry in Alaska serves as a source of employment, revenue, and affordable energy for local communities.
