Researcher - the gas isn't being warehoused. They are using the gas to extract more oil. The AOGCC will not allow them to produce the gas today because it would result in the loss of a lot of oil. The field will not be ready for major gas production for another 7-8 years according to the AOGCC - thus if these guys were producing large volumes of gas today they would be wasting hundreds of millions of barrels of oil, which is prohibited by state law. Walker never mentions this when discussing his LNG dream because he is either ignorant or prefers to lie to Alaskans.

in any event, the producers have spent billions of dollars advancing gas development over the past five years. They have received regulatory authority to export the gas, they are seeking FERC authorization, they have made remarkable progress on the design and engineering for a project. What court is going to say that these efforts don't satisfy the duty to produce gas?
