9-14-16 Alaska’s Governor Prematurely Romances Asian LNG Markets With No Economically Feasible LNG Project, Fiscal Chaos At Home & An Unstable Investment Climate

Please note that we have always supported creation of an economic, Alaska North Slope gas monetization project. We have also observed that continuing efforts by politicians to "do it my way" over the last 45 years have been costly, wasteful efforts to master the free market -- always unsuccessfully. We are particularly concerned that Alaska's governor has an unrealistic fixation on government control over the "means" of energy production and transportation -- regardless of market supply/demand realities. We hope he studies the history of Venezuela and Argentina and [...]

Lest We Forget: 9-11 REMEMBRANCE OF GAS PIPELINES POLITICAL PIPEDREAMS: LEST WE FORGET! by Dave Harbour Maybe history teaches that political pipedreams don't work so well. Would it not be wise to learn from our past? Would it not be logical to offer support and not hostile dictates to private sector investors -- for a change -- so that they might realistically conform energy exploration, production, development, transportation, marketing and distribution hopes to the realism of private sector expertise, science-based planning, decision-making agility, competition-inspired efficiency, volatile market [...]

9-2-16 Either Way, Alaska’s Investment Climate Is Damaged

8-30-16 Alaska Once Thought (Erroneously) It Was Impervious To Competition – Alberta Is Learning The Same Lesson

Learn From History, Not The Hard Way by Dave Harbour An oil patch can become so proud of itself that it loses the competition, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. How does it do this? A fossil fuel producing area becomes uncompetitive by jacking up taxes and royalties to the maximum. Then it uses that largess taken from hapless investors to build great bureaucracies and entitlement systems. Politicians, socialist and environmental activists use "community organizing techniques" to form movements against big bad (wealth producing) fossil industries. [...]

7-22-16 Japan’s LNG Buyers Should Be Cautioning Alaska and Canada About Pending, Expensive, Risky LNG Projects

Our Commentary: Today our Aussie O&G energy analyst friend focuses his astute observation on how LNG prices are being reviewed -- to the benefit in a buyers market -- of buyers. This observation would tend to support Alaska producers' and Shell's (BC) more cautious approach to North American LNG projects targeting major Asian markets. Of course, Alaska's socialist leaning governor is not deterred, continuing to move toward more state control of Alaska's energy industry, and the multi-billion dollar risks to his citizens which accompanies such Venezuela-like behavior. -dh Aussie Oil & [...]
