It is a waste of time to present any reasonable alternative to the AOGCC when it comes to their regulations regardless of whether your alternative is safer and is the industry standard in other locations.  I have seen first hand how the AOGCC enforces antiquated metering technology on Alaskan oil & gas industry.  When doing oil & gas production in Alaska, you do it AOGCC's way even when it is silly to be using outdated/antiquated technology.
