How Alberta's Carbon Emission Cap Will Reduce Oil Sands Growth Summary The Alberta government has proposed implementing a 100 megatonne (Mt) cap on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that result from oil sands operations. This paper estimated future emissions levels from oil sands production using oil sands production forecasts to 2040 from the National Energy Board. Based on estimates of future production, this policy has the potential to constrain future oil sands production. In a scenario based on current emissions intensity levels, the policy could reduce cumulative production between 2025 [...]

(See our mid-Atlantic energy analyst friend's Venezuela commentary next story below) With Competent Leadership Alaska's Future Could Still Be Prosperous by Dave Harbour Alaska brings in less than half the price for oil needed to have a current balanced budget. Up to 90% dependent on oil revenue, the state has worked itself into a $3-4 billion annual budget deficit. State leaders seeking the 'easy way out' are funding the deficit by taking money from the next generation. How? They are depleting savings accounts and passing on tax credit obligations to [...]

Those interested in gas supply for Alaska's largest population center will want to note our commentary on this subject, 2012. We would also observe that the Administration's desire to supply gas to Fairbanks from what may well be a dwindling Cook Inlet supply, could endanger gas ratepayers in both Fairbanks and Southcentral Alaska. -dh Alex DeMarban NGP File Photo, by Dave Harbour Alaska Dispatch by Alex DeMarban.

8-15-16 Alaskans and Canadians Will Ignore The Need To Be Competitive AT THEIR PERIL

By wpnorthern|2016-12-22T22:26:58-09:00August 15th, 2016|Alaska Taxes, Commentary|

We are indebted to our anonymous, Mid Atlantic energy advisor for providing the important analysis below. It demonstrates why some producers may be subsidizing continuing operations to support cash flow demands -- on the hope that prices will rise in time to rebuild the financial strength of those producers. One notes with concern that Alaskan and Canadian oil and gas operations have special difficulty with low price environments. Most of their competitors operate in areas closer to markets, with lower labor costs, lower transportation costs, lower logistical costs and lower [...]
