WASHINGTON – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, will reach out this week to the state's biggest oil producers about participating in a North Slope natural gas pipeline project being led by TransCanada.

The governor's office on Tuesday confirmed that Palin planned to place preliminary phone calls to executives of BP, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil in the coming days to discuss the pipeline.

"My understanding was that the plan was to start trying to place the calls tonight," said Sharon Leighow, spokeswoman for the governor.

The calls are expected to cover a range of possible topics, including the state's tax and royalty rates, state oversight of gas-field infrastructure, and the ongoing wrestling match over the fate of Point Thomson.
