Well, Conoco wasn't shipping Alaskan LNG to Japan because CONOCO didn't own any interest in Alaska until the so-called Conoco-Phillips merger.

I agree that ConocoPhillips has not been the responsible part for the entire 35 years, but they continue to ship it today.

Yeah, shipping Egyptian LNG to Japan. You're mixing apples and oranges. Like I said I don't care which pipeline gets approved. I don't have a horse in this race. I was just commenting that BP's MO is control of the industry, which usually results in the restriction of trade.

If BP was smart and not so self centered as a company, they would turn over the negotiations to CONOCO, because CONOCO does not have a history with the state of Alaska, that would work against them. BP would also turn over control of the pipeline to Conoco. But that would all go against the grain of BP.
