Our future is bright for 2025 Message From Jeff Baker, Board of Directors President
H appy New Year and welcome to 2025 from The Alliance! There’s a lot to be looking forward to regarding resource develop- ment and The Alliance is here to help make it happen. Between construction of ConocoPhillips’ Willow Project and Santos’ Pikka Project, 2025 is going to have the most North Slope activity in almost 30 years. Much of the work is being executed by Alliance member companies and we are thrilled to see such an uptick in activity, from engi- neers to camps and caterers, equip- ment suppliers and our construction workforce.
If interested, please reach out to me or our CEO, Rebecca Logan. The 2025 legislative session is getting set to kick off as I write this. The Alliance is looking at pre-filed bills and will be on top of issues that matter to our member companies and industries. Two of our 2025 priorities are critical with the uptick in North Slope exploration and construction: workforce development and improve- ments to the Dalton Highway. We will have a contingent of board members in Juneau the latter part of February to meet with legislators and discuss our
legislative priorities. Representing 550 member companies and approximately 35,000 Alaskans, The Alliance is a respected voice in Juneau. The change in the federal administration pres- ents optimism and opportunity for Alaska. The new administration is bullish on NPR-A develop - ment, the Ambler Access Project and the Alaska LNG Project, possibly bringing new life to these and other resource development projects. Recent - ly, the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation announced an agreement with Glenfarne Energy to advance the Alaska LNG Project, bringing addi - tional new energy to a project that will have tre- mendous benefit to the state and its citizens. We’re gearing up for the annual Meet Alaska conference, which will be March 21. Check our website for updates regarding this and other Alli- ance events. Of particular note is a celebration of the 50th anniversary for the first piece of pipe laid for the Trans Alaska Pipeline, which occurred at Tonsina in 1975. A celebration will be held at the Petroleum Club on March 27. Our board is energized with the prospects in front of us and will be working hard for the re- source development industry in Alaska. Here’s to a prosperous 2025!
Companies are taking advantage of the surge in demand, which also benefits downstream business - es across the state. A strong natural resource in- dustry is the jet engine that keeps Alaska moving. The Alliance mission statement is “to lead and advocate for the responsible exploration, development, and production of Alaska’s oil, gas, energy, and mineral resources, ensuring durable benefits for all Alaskans and fostering economic growth.” We do this in several ways: n Educate Alaskans about the importance of responsible resource development in our state. n Advocate for a stable business climate to maintain and attract new investment. n Present opportunities for our members to interact with the exploration and producer compa- nies and promote our member companies’ ser- vices. The Alliance board of directors conducts busi- ness through four committees that meet monthly: Government Affairs; Industry Relations; Public Relations; and Member Services. These committees are open to any member who would like to get in- volved with supporting The Alliance mission. You do not need to be a board member to participate.
