He was formerly Executive Director of the Alaska Independent Oil & Gas Association (A.I.O.G.A.) serving under the direction of its founder and Statesman Edgar Paul Boyko, the stateís former Attorney General. Mr. Webster was instrumental in raising bonus capital for bidding on the Alaska Northslope Oil Leases in 1968, as director of A.I.O.G.A. A.I.O.G.A. was awarded Tracks 20 & 21 by then Commissioner of Natural Resources Thomas Kelly, as the apparent high bidders, only later to be rejected by the Commissioner. This lead to one of the largest behind the scenes legal battles ever to involve A.L.O.G.A., their lead attorneys, Edgar Paul Boyko (former Alaska State Attorney General), famous attorney Melvin Belli, and former Judge Clem Stevens who were pitted against the State of Alaska and many of the worldís biggest oil companies. The Northslope Oil Leases ultimately lead to the development of one of the worldís richest oil fields with billions of barrels of recoverable crude oil and the construction of one of the largest man made construction projects of its time, the ìAlaska Oil Pipe Line,î over 800 miles long stretching from north to south from Prudhoe Bay at the north slope to the deep water port at Valdez, Alaska. In 1969, Alaska's oil lease sale pumped nine hundred million dollars into Alaska's economy as 179 tracts of potentially oil-rich North Slope lands were leased. Later that year, former State Attorney General Edgar Paul Boyko filed suit on behalf of A.I.O.G.A to stop the awarding of 33 of the 179 state oil-lease tracts. Mr. Webster handled the security analysis for the pre pipeline design and the safety issues for the Alaska Teamsters union under the direction of Alaska Teamster Boss Jess Carr.

There are more fields being explored, bid on, and developed even today in the largest of all our states... Alaska. The Federal Government and the state of Alaska has put aside millions of acres of pristine wilderness to protect it from further development by giant oil, gas and mining companies. Mr. Webster represented many of the worldís independent oil, gas, and mining companies, along with some of the worldís high net worth individuals, always with an eye on conservation.Ý Mr. Webster says the legacy of environmental destruction left by major oil companies with their spills, leaks, explosions, and violations argues that they should not be allowed to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge unless there is a clear real need related to a national emergency.
