Parks Dear Ms. Skipwith: On April 25 and 26, Janet Weiss, the President and Chairman of BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc., will be in Washington for a series of meetings. We hope very much that we can find some time on your schedule for Janet to come in and introduce herself to you and discuss some of the key issues facing BP's Alaska business today. As you may know, BP has been exploring and developing Alaska's oil and gas resources for over half a century and continues to play an important role in driving economic growth and supporting local communities throughout the state. In fact, our work in Alaska supports over 16,000 jobs in the state. BP helped build the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System in the mid-1970s. It has generated over 12 billion barrels of oil at the massive Prudhoe Bay oil field since it began drilling there in 1968. The Greater Prudhoe Bay area remains one of the largest oil fields in North America and produces about 55 percent of Alaska's oil and gas. BP also owns interests in seven other North Slope oil fields including the state's newest oil and gas field, Point Thompson. Janet would be free to meet with you on Tuesday, April 25 between 10 am and 2 pm and on Wednesday, April 26 up until 3 pm. Please let me know whether any of these times might work. Should you need any additional information from us, kindly let us know. Congratulations on your recent appointment, many thanks and best regards, David David J. van Hoogstraten Senior Director, Regulatory Affairs (Environmental) BP America Inc. 1101 New York Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20005 Direct: 202 457 6596 Mobile: 202 277 5840 To: aurelia_skipwith@ios.doi.gov[aurelia_skipwith@ios.doi.gov] From: Laura Skaer Sent: 2017-04-24T14:11:02-04:00 Importance: Normal Subject: Meeting with Laura Skaer and AEMA Received: 2017-04-24T14:11:55-04:00 Hi Aurelia, Congratulations on your appointment.
