Governor Walker says this is "good news" for Alaska and he is right. 

It is clear Alaska needs more good news and the new DNR DOG leadership can help if they support the smaller oil and gas companies instead of saying no to them! 

It will be good news if the DNR DOG says yes to smaller investors so Alaska can have more discoveries like Pikka or Smith Bay with an "estimated oil potential between 1.8 billion barrels and 4 billion barrles of new oil. 

Many say the doom and gloom in Alaska's economy may go away if the DNR DOG finally says yes to samller oil and gas investors instead no!

The harsh days at the DNR DOG has lead to the massive decline in oil production and the decline of oil companies interested in investing in Alaska. It seems those days may be over and maybe Armstrong, Caelus and the other smaller oil and gas competitors will see for the first time a oil company other then the majors to finally make a profit by finding and selling oil, this has never been done, ever!
