Oil and Gas Tax Data Disclosure Act

Last scannedSep 22, 2026, 12:32 AM

In one sentence

This law allows Alaska state officials to share grouped tax and production data about oil and gas companies, and requires them to release specific details for individual owners within a unit upon request.

What it does

  • Allows the department to publish monthly or yearly data on oil and gas amounts, taxes paid, effective tax rates, gross value at production, transportation costs, capital spending, exploration costs, lease expenditures, adjustments, and tax credits if grouped among three or more producers or explorers.
  • Requires the department to release detailed information for each working interest owner within a specific unit when someone asks for it.
  • Mandates that requested details about production amounts, gross value, transportation costs, tax values, estimated taxes due, and state royalties be made public within 30 days of the request.

Who it affects

  • The Alaska Department responsible for collecting taxes under this chapter
  • Oil and gas producers or explorers operating in the state
  • Working interest owners who share ownership of a specific production unit

Limits and unknowns

  • Public data for individual companies is only available after a specific request is made, not automatically posted online.
  • General tax information can be published without identifying single producers if the numbers are grouped with at least two other operators (three total).
  • The text does not state when this law officially takes effect.
