Alaska needs to find a way to become more attractive, but the legislature and the Agencies don't see it.

We have knowledgeable oil and gas winners in this important lease sale; congratulations.

Now it is time to delineate the Exxon/Hilcorp eight-trillion-cubic-feet Gas Point Thomson field, to see how far it extends into ANWR, and hopefully find the next Prudhoe Bay-size oil and gas discovery.

Donkel Oil & Gas LLC has leases positioned in the middle of Point Thomson and ANWR, which is part of a 50,000-acre Unit that together may have 7 TCF and 3 billion Barrles of oil. This is going to be very big, and everyone will benefit.

Drill Baby Drill.

US: BLM holds first successful Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Lease Sale under Working Families Tax Cuts Act

07 Jun 2026
📷
The Bureau of Land Management held an oil and gas lease sale June 5 for the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, resulting in five leases and $3,741,528 in total receipts. President Donald J. Trump was the first and only president to hold a successful lease sale in the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska in 2021, as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Under the previous administration, lease sales in the region were deliberately discouraged.

This was the second successful sale in the area under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership and the first since the passage of the Working Families Tax Cuts. Congress recognized the significant resource potential of the Coastal Plain through the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 and later authorized oil and gas leasing in the area with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

'This lease sale is another important step toward restoring American Energy Dominance and responsibly developing the vast resources Congress directed us to make available in the Coastal Plain,' said BLM Director Steve Pearce. 'The previous administration did everything in its power to discourage industry from development in the Coastal Plain. The strong industry interest we saw today reflects confidence in Alaska’s resource potential and the Trump administration’s commitment to providing certainty for investment. These leases will help create jobs, generate significant revenue for Alaska and the nation and support the reliable domestic energy production Americans depend on every day.'

The BLM offered 58 tracts across approximately 688,829 acres for bid in today’s sale. In response, two companies submitted bids on five tracts covering 72,049 acres.

'Today’s lease sale underscores the vision that both industry and government share about the viability of development in the Coastal Plain,' said BLM Alaska State Director Kevin Pendergast. 'Alaska is a bedrock of America’s energy security, and this sale will bolster the state’s economy and ultimately lead to additional energy production.'

The State of Alaska will receive nearly $2 million, representing 50 percent of the bid receipts. Since January 2025, the Bureau of Land Management has worked expeditiously to implement direction aimed at unlocking the plain’s energy potential through Executive Order 14153, Secretary’s Order 3422, and the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. The Bureau reversed the 2023 lease cancellations, issued a new 2025 Record of Decision, and resumed and expanded leasing in the Coastal Plain.

Information on previous Coastal Plain sales - as well as maps, GIS shapefiles, and a table with today’s complete sale results by tract - is available on the Bureau of Land Management Alaska’s Oil and Gas Lease Sales website

Big oil and gas discoveries are now in play thanks to President Donald Trump and the Governor of Alaska; the high bid was next to Donkel Oil & Gas LLC's new Greater Point Thomson Unit and the 8-10 Trillion Cubic Foot Gas Field at Hilcorp and Exxon's Point Thomson, which has one of the nation's most productive oil and gas wells and Alaska's top producer. The drilling is on big time! Drill, Baby, Drill, and make all Alaskans prosper with the famous Oil & Gas Permanent Fund.

Thank you, Mr President!

Alaska has so much Natural Gas that could bring everyone in the State of Alaska lots of money if its leaders don't mess it up again. They have been working on this for around 30 years; maybe it's time to bring the capital to Anchorage. The People should get the Pipeline, or these companies will go elsewhere. I hear they are very close to leaving Alaska for Venezuela. Why be so harsh? Do oil and gas assets get locked up by the unattractive harshness and unreasonableness of uninformed leaders? It seems so; why? Call your elected representative. Pray for a better oil and gas state and more production and money for all Alaskans

Little interest in first Trump lease sale in Alaska wildlife refuge, with only two bidders https://t.co/AiAAwx4Wnn

I AM CONVINCED ALASKANS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEADERS will offset the threats from the anti-oil disruptors with tax benefits and other incentives;

The Ocean of oil in ANWR that these disruptors have been blocking in Alaska will soon be unlocked to help pay off our nation's debt and fund the world's best drug and alcohol treatment programs, as well as the best health care and dental care for all Americans.

Drill Baby Drill HEX, AIDEA, ARMSTRONG, APACHE, JADE, DONKEL'S OIL & GAS LLC AT THE NEW GREATER POINT THOMSON UNIT AND OTHERS WHO WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR AMERICA!

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND ALASKA GOVERNOR MIKE DUNLEAVY UNLOCK THIS MASSIVE OIL AND GAS ON THE NORTH SLOPE NOW!

Make America Great and Drill Baby Drill to pay for what Americans need and want now.

ANWR lease sale draws $3.7M in winning bids, but major oil and gas players stay home https://t.co/J7r0cMXHDG

PRUDHOE BAY 15 BILLION BARREL OIL DISCOVERY WAS THE BIGGEST OIL FIND IN THE WORLD, AND THE INTEREST WAS SO LOW THE 1968 DISCOVERY WAS ALMOST NEVER DRILLED; ANWR WILL BE THE SAME WAY 60 YEARS LATER! ANWR IS SITTING ON AN OCEAN OF OIL, AND THESE WINNERS WILL PROSPER, AND SO WILL THE STATE OF ALASKA!

[Daniel K. Donkel @TAPNOTTAX]

ALASKA'S OIL AND GAS-RICH ANWR LANDS HAVE SO MUCH OIL AND GAS THAT IT IS LIKE AN OCEAN WAITING FOR THE RED TAPE TO ALLOW FOR DRILLING AND PRODUCTION. THANKS TO THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP, ALASKA IS READY TO FILL THE TANKS WITH LOW-COST OIL AND GAS! GET READY FOR PROSPERITY IN ALASKA. DRILL BABY DRILL! MAKE ALASKA GREAT AGAIN!

Goldman Sachs Sees Oil Demand Destruction Offsetting Supply Shock Risks https://t.co/MYguFwQm6C #oilprice

Alaska needs to create incentives for risk capital to come to the state to drill, given its harsh regulations and bad decisions that have given the state a bad reputation.

Right now, Alaska is harmed by unreasonable, costly, and long permitting lead times. Alaska needs to take action to attract massive investment in its oil and gas industry. Drill Baby Drill and put Alaskans to work and bring prosperity to all Alaskans

[Daniel K. Donkel @TAPNOTTAX]

Alaska state leaders could make Alaska more attractive if they listen to people who have worked in the oil and gas industry in the past decade or more, big incentives and less red tape is needed now. The state is already improving but not enough or fast enough. Venezuela and other countries are steadily winning the fight for risk capital. Let’s make Alaska Great Again. Drill Baby Drill and bring prosperity to all.

@MinMin89485072 TAIWAN COULD INVEST IN ALASKA OIL & GAS EXPLORATION AT GREATER POINT THOMSON UNIT AND ADD A POSSIBLE THREE BILLION BARRLES OF OIL AND SEVEN TRILLION CUBIC FEET OF GAS, DONKEL OIL AND GAS LLC, AND ALASKA ARE OPEN TO DOING BUSINESS WITH TAIWAN IF THEY WANT.

The many harsh and unreasonable decisions in the Legislature and by the Alaska Oil & Gas Agencies should be stopped, or they should all be aware that Alaskan oil & gas companies and others worldwide are looking to Venezuela instead of Alaska. Many feel the issue is that Alaska has too many anti-oil-and-gas people in its state leadership. I hope things improve faster so investors will choose Alaska over Venezuela. Drill, Baby, Drill in Alaska, not Venezuela. Let's make Alaskans prosper from better policy and better incentives!
