DOG releases Cook Inlet seismic data

Under the terms of Alaska oil and gas exploration credit statutes, Alaska’s Division of Oil and Gas is releasing to the public data from a seismic survey conducted onshore on the west side of the Cook Inlet. In a public notice issued Dec. 28 the division that it would release the data within 30 days. The tax credit statutes require a company that has used support from a tax credit to shoot a seismic survey to submit a copy of the resulting seismic data to the Division of Oil and Gas. The division has to hold the data confidentially for 10 years, after which time the data becomes public.

The data that the division is now releasing was acquired under the terms of a permit issued to geophysics company Veritas DGS Land. According to a map issued by the division, the survey appears to cover a broad area of land to the west and north of the village of Tyonek, on the Cook Inlet coast.
