True, but Kenai grew up around oil and MatSu is not used to having oil around drinking water wells and quiet homes with some dogs around. I am not saying absolutely no exploration. I am concerned if the current state regulations are set up to handle all operators in residential areas and possible shallow discoveries.  We have had relatively long term thinking operators on the  spectrum of more responsible. Most Alaska petroleum development is not near residential areas. Kenai grew up around the fields, and Nikiski ended up very different from Homer. Also, the platforms have limited access docks, and Swanson is kind of tucked back & away from homes. There are a few deep gas reservoirs under residential areas at the mouth of the Kenai and Ninilckik... but Ninilckik has more landowners with subsurface royalties. I do not own subsurface in this area.  It will be intrresting to watch. A better map in the application package showing lakes, creeks,  and rivers would be a good place to start.
