7-27-16 Alaska’s Creditworthiness Declines Again

Alaska's Governor Bill Walker takes no responsibility for a declining credit rating as he continues to joust at the windmills of socialist acquisition of Alaska's resource wealth deterring industry investment in a low oil price environment. Brilliant. -dh Governor Walker’s Statement on Moody’s Downgrade of Alaska’s Rating “Today’s news from Moody’s Investors Services is concerning but, unfortunately, not surprising. Moody’s says, ‘The downgrade recognizes the state’s political inability – at least for now – to address its severe fiscal challenge.’ The agency’s analysts cite our strengths—our available cash reserves and [...]

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 & [...]

7-19-16 Alaska’s Governor Made A Good Personnel Decision, Perhaps, But Continues A Hugo Chavez-like Assault On Free Enterprise And The Oil & Gas Industry

We have mixed reactions to Governor Walker's latest decision! John Hendrix, NGP stock photo by Dave Harbour Yesterday, Alaska Governor Bill Walker appointed former Alaska manager for Apache Oil to a newly created position, chief oil and gas advisor. That assignment is a cabinet level position that invades traditional turf of the Commissioner of Natural Resources, his Director of Oil & Gas and the governor's special assistant for natural resources (i.e. that has traditionally included oil and gas policy issues). At first glance, this looks like an important improvement [...]

7-13-16 Alaska’s Governor Prods For More ‘Revenue’; Legislature Balks

Just Received: Alaska Governor throws down the gauntlet; legislature won't be intimidated (Read two sides below). The implications for oil and gas investment in a state of self-imposed chaos is significant for the future of an Alaska North Slope gas pipeline, as well as future O&G capital investments. Meanwhile, our readers know that 90% of Alaska's operating budget and over a third of its economy rests on the shoulders of robust, confident, continuing and secure O&G industry investments. Unfortunately, Alaska has not shown itself to be a place [...]

7-12-16 Fiscal Crisis & Gas Pipeline 2001, “Lest We Forget”

We have a special treat for Alaskans and their Legislature today -- and, our Canadian readers. Scroll down for two commentaries, Christmas 2001, re: gas pipeline and fiscal crisis issues. "Lest We Forget" -dh Is our quotation from 2001 -- in response to Senator Dave Donley -- still applicable today? Comment: "Such is the nature of political struggle as governments become highly dependent on resource revenue or government grants, when resource prices fall and/or when rates of production and/or national revenues diminish. In such situations, political leaders should beware of becoming too [...]

7-11-16 Socialism Threatens Both Albertans and Alaskans

Our Advice To Albertans and Alaskans Q. Why is our prosperous, fossil fuel-energized way of life under such attack? A. Because that's where the money is. Those of us who want to protect our way of life better strengthen our bleeding hearts and quit compromising. The socialists/communists/anarchists/progressives/democrats/leftists are the extremists. They want to create welfare states (i.e. a la Chavez, Hitler, Lenin) with themselves in charge. It's not about "the people"; it's about transferring power and money from our free enterprises to their tightly controlled, dictatorial government enterprises. So our advice [...]

7-10-16 “Alaska Is Their Own Worst Enemy” -Rex Tillerson

Brennan, Anchorage Daily Planet: State line wouldn’t have tax-happy partner The notion of a state-owed gas pipeline conjures visions of an 800-mile-long grain elevator sitting financially high and dry, too expensive to ship gas at a price the market will accept. That is a very real and realistic worry. State governments generally don’t do those things well — and the state’s record on publicly owned and managed properties is horrible. Think the grain elevators built to support Mat Valley farmers, the railroad passenger terminal at International Airport, the Point [...]
