Background

On September 27, 2019, three applications were filed jointly by BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc. (BPPA) and Harvest Alaska, LLC (Harvest Alaska),  a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp).

In Docket No. P-19-015, the application requests approval of Harvest Alaska to acquire BPPA's indirect 32.0% ownership interest in PTE Pipeline, LLC, operating under Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) No. 746.

In Docket No. P-19-016, the application requests approval of Harvest Alaska to acquire BPPA's indirect controlling interest in Milne Point Pipeline, LLC, the operator of the Milne Point Oil Pipeline under CPCN No. 329 and the Milne Point Natural Gas Liquids Pipeline under CPCN No. 638.

In Docket P-19-017, the application requests approval of Harvest Alaska to acquire BPPA's entire interest in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (including its interest in the Valdez Marine Terminal) operated under CPCN No. 311.

With each application, Harvest Alaska filed a motion requesting waiver of the requirement under 3 AAC 48.625 that Harvest Alaska file audited financial statements. Harvest Alaska, Hilcorp, and Harvest Midstream I, L.P., filed into each docket a petition requesting confidential treatment of their audited and unaudited financial statements submitted in support of the applications.
