The document summarizes the objectives and methodology of the Fraser Institute's 2010 Global Petroleum Survey. The survey gathered responses from 645 companies on 17 factors related to upstream oil and gas investment barriers across 133 jurisdictions. The responses were used to create composite indices to facilitate comparison of jurisdictions' commercial/regulatory environments and geopolitical risks. Alaska received scores indicating its factors are generally not strong deterrents to investment, though some receive mild deterrent ratings.

Global Petroleum Survey 2010 ALLIANCE MEET ALASKA January, 2011 Fred McMahon Vice President Research, International The Fraser Institute
Project Objectives Are To: • Rank jurisdictions according to barriers to upstream investment. • Identify issues that jurisdictions need to address in order to attract more greater shares of investment. • Identify year-to-year changes to jurisdictions’ apparent relative attractiveness for upstream investment. (Valuable information for both business planners and policy makers)
The Survey Questions
Factors Addressed by Questions (1) 1. Fiscal Terms 2. Taxation Regime 3. Environmental Uncertainty 4. Regulatory Uncertainty 5. Cost of Regulatory Compliance 6. Protected Areas 7. Socio-economic Agreements 8. Trade Barriers
Factors Addressed by Questions (2) 9. Labour Regulations and Employment Agreements 10. Quality of infrastructure 11. Geological Database 12. Labor Availability 13. Disputed Land Claims 14. Political Stability 15. Security 16. Regulatory Duplication and Inconsistencies 17. Legal system
Possible Responses to Each Question: 1. Encourages investment 2. Is not a deterrent to investment 3. Is a mild deterrent to investment 4. Is a strong deterrent to investment 5. Would not invest due to this criterion
• Scoring Methodology
Composite Indices (Used to Facilitate Comparison) • All-Inclusive Composite Index - Based on average of responses to all 17 questions • Commercial Environment Index - Fiscal terms, taxation, trade barriers, quality of infrastructure, & labor availability • Regulatory Climate Index - Based on average of responses to the 6 regulatory questions • Geopolitical Risk Index - From “Political Stability” and “Security” questions
2010 Participation • 645 questionnaires received; up from 577 in 2009 • Over 364 companies represented. • Participating upstream petroleum companies responsible for more than half of global 2009 E&P expenditures according to International Energy Agency estimates. • 133 jurisdictions ranked (vs. 143 in 2009, 81 in 2008, 54 in 2007).

Global Comparison Alaska Third Quintile: Green
Conclusion • Oil and gas companies will come to where the resources are, so they will come to Alaska. • But the worse the regulatory/tax environment, the higher the profits companies will demand— weakening other development. • Alaska has much to improve. • Improvement means reducing uncertainty, not weakening environmental and other necessary regulatory safeguard.
Conclusion, continued • No one would accuse Norway of environmental laxity, low taxation, or weak regulations. • Yet Norway in most areas scores ahead of Alaska—so free-market Alaska scores behind “socialist” Norway. • Norway is also successful in spinning off related business. • The most important factor in all areas is certainty, clarity, and efficiency. • Everyone all on sides of ideological/policy issues should want the same. • According to the survey, Alaska can improve on all of these.

    Conclusion • Oil andgas companies will come to where the resources are, so they will come to Alaska. • But the worse the regulatory/tax environment, the higher the profits companies will demand— weakening other development. • Alaska has much to improve. • Improvement means reducing uncertainty, not weakening environmental and other necessary regulatory safeguard.
  • 49.
    Conclusion, continued • Noone would accuse Norway of environmental laxity, low taxation, or weak regulations. • Yet Norway in most areas scores ahead of Alaska—so free-market Alaska scores behind “socialist” Norway. • Norway is also successful in spinning off related business. • The most important factor in all areas is certainty, clarity, and efficiency. • Everyone all on sides of ideological/policy issues should want the same. • According to the survey, Alaska can improve on all of these.
