NordAq Energy Inc., the small independent that has been quietly pursuing a program of oil and gas exploration in Alaska's Cook Inlet basin for the past couple of years or so, says that it now plans to drill two exploration wells in its Tiger Eye prospects onshore the west side of the inlet.

As part of a regional, multiyear oil exploration campaign in Cook Inlet, the Houston-independent is permitting onshore wells on both the east and west side of the inlet.

Northern district setnetters and sport fishermen in Upper Cook Inlet are going to be facing restrictions early in the season due to depressed numbers of king salmon returning to the Susitna drainage this year.
