Two points to consider:
1.	The prior administration did not release any seismic data in 2013 or 2014.
2.	Companies like Alliance Exploration won’t qualify for tax cash credits from the State of Alaska.  They know this. The legislature eliminated the credits during a special session this summer. Instead, their development costs can now only be used as deductions against future oil production tax liability. No production…. No reimbursement of development costs.
