SYMBOL LOOKUP

On Thursday, federal regulators ruled that owners of the 800-mile, trans-Alaska pipeline system over charged for shipping oil in 2005 and 2006.

The state collects money once the tariffs get assessed on the wellhead value of a barrel of oil. Higher tariffs mean less money for the state.

FERC has ordered pipeline owners BP PLC, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and Koch. to pay a "limited refund."

FERC supported last year's administrative law judge decision that fees to move oil destined for use out-of-state should reflect those for oil being sold in-state.

Four years ago, the state, Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and refiner Tesoro Corp. challenged the rates.
