If Alaskans want to resuscitate the state's petroleum industry, cut taxes.The province did just that earlier this year, and drilling has surged. That's what Ron Liepert, Alberta's energy minister, told an oil and gas conference in Anchorage Sept. 28. The strategy worked, despite very low natural gas prices that continue to plague the industry. More oil rigs are popping up around Cheyenne and some new wells 50 miles north of town might already be producing oil from the Niobrara Shale. How much oil? Mum's the word, at least for now. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has issued permits for more than 50 oil wells in northern Laramie County and southern Goshen and Platte counties so far this year. Oil majors will continue to buy shale gas resources in the US and dominate that market over the next couple of years after spending $21 billion on the fuel in the first half of this year, Wood Mackenzie said.
