This is proof if the DNR DOG would stop it's harsh policies and unreasonable lease extensions rejections more oil and gas could be found on the North Slope! 

Repsol ask the DNR DOG for a three year lease extension but they denied them and gave them less! Now the DNR DOG is 8 for 8 in denials for the 2013 one time lease extension, why run investment and positive activity out of Alaska, is it because they are not the favored majors?  The DNR seems to protect this oil monopoly, why? 

I hope the DNR DOG changes!

The DNR DOG seems to run off smaller oil & gas competitors out so the majors can continue its oil market control now in it's 40th year!  

"Repsol and Armstrong Oil & Gas of Denver announced that they had found what experts say might be one of the largest oil discoveries in Alaska.

The new field, about 150 miles southeast of Barrow along the Colville River, and located between ConocoPhillips' Alpine and Kuparuk River fields, could produce at least 120,000 barrels of oil daily".
