BS.  The "TAPS tax evaluation case heard by Judge Gleason"  put the lie to THAT little threat Mr. Brown.  

BP stated, in internal discovered court documents that TAPS would be profitable for them out to probably 2065,.now get this,  "even if not one new barrel of oil were ever discovered in Alaska".  

So please stop the scare tactics Brownie and study up. 
We can fairly take a severance tax for the sale of our oil and they are not going anywhere.
