Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins“Number one, making sure that we're getting the most out of the Cook Inlet Basin makes a tremendous amount of sense. Supporting producers like Hex with Kitchen Lights and Bluecrest with Cosmopolitan, and Hilcorp has an aggressive drilling program in Cook Inlet.”

Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins“DNR plays a key role in reviewing and approving those plans of development. Development for each of those producers, and DNR has been a major reason why Hex and Blue Crest are moving forward, and recent DNR action has really been a kick in the rear end for Blue Crest, and I think that's an appropriate role for state agency to play.”

Treg Taylor“Yeah, I think we need to immediately incentivize more expansion exploration and capital projects in the Cook Inlet. The gas is there, right? The problem for the producers is— and I know this because I kept getting letters from the legislature saying, enforce your contract with the producers out in the Cook Inlet, they're not drilling”

Dave Bronson“We're going to Hill Corp, we want to change their tax structure. They're an S corp and we want to trade them as a C corp. That's gonna cost them $80 or $100 million. I was in Houston, in the headquarters, talking to their leadership, and they says, "If you want to tax us more, that's fine. That's $80 or $100 million we're not gonna invest in operation on the North Slope or development in Cook Inlet.”

Bernadette M. Wilson“So we most certainly need to incentivize production in Cook Inlet. Yes. Whatever we can do to incentivize Hex, whatever we can do to incentivize Hillcorp.”

Bernadette M. Wilson“We're talking about a shortage of natural gas and a high cost of energy. Yet as I look across the room tonight, I see several people that wanted to come after Hilcorp to increase their taxes. You don't exactly have a whole lot of people lining up to want to do business with you, Alaska. We've been a terrible business partner.”
