Oil major BP recently agreed to pay millions in federal criminal fines over a 2006 oil spill in the nation's largest oil field of Prudhoe Bay.
However, the Alaska state officials said Wednesday they are building a case to pursue their own damages related to two spills at last year.
The officials are considering a civil lawsuit over "liability to the state resulting in lost revenues" and "damages for discharging petroleum on state land," according to documents from the state Department of Law posted online.
