Interesting comment from Scott Digert . Alpine was commissioned for development on sub twenty dollar oil . Since when is fifty dollar a barrel oil low oil prices ? I will tell you when you give CP and BP a two billion dollar a year tax break with no commitments to reinvest in new production . The senate lead by Parnell gave his previous employer Conoco   a billion Dollar a year tax break . This nonsense has gone on now for maybe four years . They have to be laughing all the way to bank . 

It's time to let the smaller companies like Hilcorp , Caelus and Armstrong get to work producing the oil they have found . The big three have had years and huge profits to reinvest on slope and decided to invest elsewhere . The lackies down Juneau need to wake up .
