What if you told Richfield to stay in California in 1957, Alaskans would have never had royalty income on 250 Million barrels of oil at Swanson River Oil & Gas Unit or  the 10 billion barrels of oil at the famous 1967 Prudhoe Bay discovery? I will tell you the answer, you would have had to pay state taxes all these years and received no PFD oil checks for free! 

Maybe I am going to be the next Richfield Oil Company (ARCO) making more big oil discoveries in Alaska for our 49th state that we all welcomed to join the union because of these great oil discoveries by an oil company named Atlantic Richfield of Los Angeles California!
