if we multiply the population of alaska for that sum, we get 731,449 * $120 = $87,773,880/mo

then we get Alaska oil production of 2mi barrel per day (it is much lower now than a decade ago). Assuming a very conservative $100/barrel = 200,000,000/day = 2,400,000,000/mo

That's 3% if you tax on top of gross profit (no idea how oil is taxed. it is probably much less than my income tax if i know how the world works...)

And I am not counting fish, gas, lumber, minerals, etc.

That sound like the citizens are doing a much worse job than the gov in setting the rent for the oil companies.
