From the transcript
So I'll wrap up, and in closing, just say that of course Hilcorp supports the Alaska LNG project, and we're going to continue investing in the Cook Inlet to make sure that Alaska has the gas that we need during the transition. But Alaska needs a durable, long-term solution, and that solution is North Slope gas. The future of gas for south-central Alaska lies on the North Slope. We would like to see any legislation strengthen the project economics for the gas line and provide fiscal certainty as well as near-term energy security for all of the parties involved. So thank you for the time, and that's what I've got.
