Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell has named the members of the state’s Oil and Gas Competitiveness Review Board.

The board was established in Senate Bill 21 and will report to the Legislature in January 2015 on changes to state regulations and permitting which would encourage increased investment in the state while protecting the state’s people and environment; status of the state’s oil and gas labor pool; status of oil and gas infrastructure; and “competitiveness of the state’s fiscal oil and gas tax regime when compared to other regions of the world.”

In January 2021 the board will report to the Legislature on fiscal system changes which would make the state more competitive, alternative means for attracting investment and “effectiveness and future value of any provisions in the state’s oil and gas tax laws that are expiring in the next five years.”

Members include the commissioners of the departments of Environmental Conservation, Natural Resources and Revenue - or their designees - and the chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission or the chair’s designee.

Two members are to be nominated by the two leading nonprofit trade associations representing the oil and gas industry; three members of the public to be appointed by the governor, including a petroleum engineer, a geologist and a financial analyst; and two members of the public who do not represent the oil and gas industry, also to be appointed by the governor.
