Division set to release East Umiat seismic

Alaska’s Division of Oil and Gas has announced that within 30 days it will release to the public the data from the East Umiat 3-D seismic surge conducted by PGS Onshore Inc. a number of years ago. The release comes as a consequence of terms associated with exploration tax credits enacted in 2003 by the Alaska Legislature. Companies in receipt of tax credit certificates for seismic surveying have to file the resulting data with the Department of Natural Resources - the agency can then release the data to the public after 10 years.

The survey was conducted on state land near Umiat, on the eastern side of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
