Unsatisfied By Record Profits, Oil Giants Demand $2 Billion Tax Cut To Drill In Alaska : As Alaska’s North Slope oil fields get tapped out, oil companies are demanding a tax cut of more than $2 billion a year. Last week, executives from BP and Conoco Phillips told the state senate that their companies would only increase investment in drilling if state taxes on their companies are gutted.
