ExxonMobil seeks Point Thomson deal
By Upstream staff
US supermajor ExxonMobil has offered to pay a $20 million fine and relinquish some leases to resolve a dispute over a North Slope oil and gas field that has remained undeveloped for decades, a letter made public today showed.
In a proposal sent earlier this week to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, ExxonMobil offered to pay the fine and surrender about 20,000 acres of the 116,000-acre Point Thomson unit for failure to develop the field as quickly as promised, Reuters reported.
The company's offer was accompanied by an updated plan that links future field development to the proposed natural gas pipeline linking North Slope fields to markets in the lower 48 US states. The pipeline, a massive project estimated to cost over $20 billion, is expected to take years to build.
"We believe this approach is in the best interest of the state and the PTU (Point Thomson Unit) Owners," wrote Richard Owen, Alaska production manager for ExxonMobil.
Point Thomson holds 250 million to 300 million barrels of liquids, both natural gas condensates and oil, according to state officials. It also holds 8 trillion cubic feet of conventional natural gas.
Some of the 46 leases in the Point Thomson unit were acquired as early as 1965, and more than half were acquired before 1970, state information shows.
ExxonMobil and its partners - BP, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips - risk losing nearly all the Point Thomson leases if the state finds the new offer insufficient.
The state can trigger revocation action if it deems the company's new development plan unacceptable and if ExxonMobil fails in appealing an earlier ruling that it has defaulted on terms of its leases, Bill Van Dyke, acting director of the Department of Natural Resources' Division of Oil & Gas, said earlier this week.
Normally, state oil and gas leases expire after five to 10 years if there has been no commercial development, but the unit has been granted many extensions.
The Point Thomson leases, aggregated into an oilfield unit, have been the subject of nearly two dozen development plans. The reserves were discovered in 1977.
Last year, Mark Myers, former director of the Division of Oil & Gas, ruled that Exxon Mobil had defaulted on its Point Thomson leases. The company had reneged on an agreement signed with the state in 2001 to start drilling seven development wells by specific deadlines, Myers said.
"Continuing this 30-year record of non-development and delay of an oil and gas lessee's obligation to develop and produce its oil and gas lease makes a mockery of the statutory, regulatory and contractual protections for the state as owner of the oil and gas estate," Myers wrote in his 2005 decision.
ExxonMobil has until 3 November to appeal the state's default declaration, and a hearing on the appeal is scheduled 10 days after that, state officials said.
