Great article from Anchorage-based Petroleum News – “Gull Island buzz: 200 years of oil from Alaska’s North Slope?” It includes a map and deals with all the legends and allegations about the oil potential of Gull Island, which is offshore the North Slope in Prudhoe Bay.
Here’s the link to the article in html (text): http://www.petroleumnews.com/pnads/690171677.shtml
Here’s the pdf version that shows article and a map http://www.petroleumnews.com/pdfarch/543591276.pdf#page=1
I called them and PN executive editor Kay Cashman is looking for more information on Gull Island kaycashman@petroleumnews.com. The newspaper is going to continue follow the subject.

Wilco, thank you kindly for your considered and measured comments here. This film alone has been watched by approximately 300 people since I put it up, so hopefully the majority of them have benefited from your viewpoint and tasty morsels of insider info.

Any industry is amok with espionage and deception, the larger the more so. People – i.e. consumers – just need to know what they’re dealing with. There’s a reason this kind of information isn’t allowed out, and why death threats abound, and it’s because once exposed these individuals find themselves unable to continue indulging in such chicanery (or it is at least harder).

Evil prospers when good men do nothing, as the old saying goes.

All the best.

Ed – If the reference to Veco is confusing, here’s the connection. Veco is an oilfield services contractor to the majors (in this case ExxonMobil, BP, and ConocoPhillips). The majors had Bill Allen, the head of Veco, do all their dirty work so that if the deal went sour they could deny pulling the strings. It blew up so bad that Veco ended up being bought by CH2MHill.
I generally disagree with Chuck Hamel, but he is another person that ran afoul of the oil industry. Do a Google search for “Chuck Hamel Alyeska Wackenhut Spying” Alyeska is the consortium of oil companies that operate the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and Wackenhut was the outfit that Alyeska and BP hired to spy on Hamel.

Ed – regarding my opinion on whether there is economic piracy or Machiavellian political wrangling within the oil industry et al. – I’m probably not in a position to make a call on the economic piracy question. I simply am not informed enough on that issue. Regarding political wrangling – the major oil companies weren’t known as the “Seven Sisters” because of their CEOs wore dresses. My opinion is that the major oil companies (i.e., ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and to a lesser extent Tesoro) act like a dysfunctional family. They squabble and fight between themselves, but quickly develop a unified coordinated front when it serves their best interests. They most definitely engage in “political wrangling” as you put it, and are not above bending or rewriting laws to serve their ends. For a recent example, review the current FBI investigations into oil industry bribes of the Alaska state legislature. The Anchorage Daily News is a good start.

Or do a Google search for “Veco FBI bribes Alaska”. There were other occasions in the past in Alaska that also involved threats to whistle blowers, so the purported threat to Mr. Williams may have a grain of truth.
